ATI’s graphics accelerators are the most advanced on the market today. They
improve the performance of your system and display exceptional graphics.
Your ATI graphics accelerator comes complete with enhanced drivers and
comprehensive award-winning software utilities designed to make you more
productive. Please read this guide before attempting to install your card.
Preparing Your Computer
If you are using Windows
®
NT, you need to update your operating system to
Service Pack 3 (SP3) or later before installing your ATI graphics accelerator.
Additionally, if your current system configuration uses special drivers that are
not 640x480 VGA, you may encounter conflicts with the card. We recommend
that you first reconfigure your operating system to use a VGA driver supplied
with your operating system before installing the card. For more information
about changing your operating system configuration, see your operating system
documentation.
Turn off the power to your system and discharge your body’s static
electric charge by touching a grounded surface—for example, the metal
surface of the power supply—before performing any hardware procedure.
The manufacturer assumes no liability for any damage, caused directly or
indirectly, by improper installation of any components by unauthorized
service personnel. If you do not feel comfortable performing the
installation, consult a qualified computer technician.
Damage to system components, the accelerator card, and injury to
yourself may result if power is applied during installation.
