BASIC VGA by BOCA
Adapter card connector slots normally reside in the rear of the system
board adjacent to the power supply. There are usually anywhere from
five to eight edge connectors, depending on the model of your system.
3.2 If Installing in a PC or XT
The PC and XT allow you to change your system configuration to
support different types of monitors. The PC and XT have banks of
switches located on the motherboard which allow you to configure them
for monochrome, color, or no display. These switches can be set when
you open the PC or XT to put the Basic VGA board inside.
NOTE: Some compatible computers may have different switch settings.
Please check the user’s manual for your system.
To use the Basic VGA with a PC or XT, the system needs to be
configured for “no display”. This is done by setting switches 5 and 6 on
Switch Block 1 to ON. Use the following steps to set the switches:
1. Locate Switch Block 1. The XT has only one switch block on the
motherboard.
2. There are 8 individual switches on the switch block, labelled 1 to 8,
ON or OFF. Set switches 5 and 6 to ON. This sets the PC or XT for
“no display”. Do not change any other switches.
