3.3 Inserting the Basic VGA
IMPORTANT: The Basic VGA uses the same 15-pin (DB15) cable
available from monitor manufacturers to interface with the IBM
PS/2 computers. Using an incorrect cable may result in damage to
the monitor and/or adapter. If you have a monochrome display
adapter in your system, you need to set the Basic VGA board as the
primary adapter; the primary adapter will be the display available upon
boot-up. The secondary monochrome adapter will only be used if the
appropriate DOS command is entered. You MUST remove any other
color video card (VGA, EGA, CGA), even if it is multi-functional.
NOTE: Boca Research
does not recommend
using two adapters.
1. Select the first
available 8- or 16-
bit expansion slot.
2. Remove the screw
and the metal plate
that covers the
external access to the slot you have selected.
3. Insert the Basic VGA board in the slot that you have selected, so that
the edge connector on the bottom rear of the board mates with the
socket on the motherboard. Press down firmly on the board. Secure
the board with the screw which you just removed.
4. Make sure the switches/jumpers have been set for VGA (EGA color
on older machines) on the system motherboard if necessary.
