VFX1 HEADGEAR User's Manual
Is the VIP Card installed properly? Confirm that the VIP is
installed in a 16-bit expansion slot, that the edge-connector is
inserted fully, and that the VESA feature connection cable is
attached correctly to the VIP card and your computer system's
VESA feature connector. Make sure that no pins on the
connectors are bent or broken.
Is there a conflict with another device or card? Remove the VIP
card and VESA feature connection cable then restart your
computer. If your computer boots up normally, then it is most
likely that there is an I/O Address conflict with another device
or card in your system. Try changing the VIP card I/O Address
jumper setting to one of the alternate settings (as shown in the
VIP card illustration in chapter 3), re-install the VIP Card and
VESA Feature cable, and restart your computer. Run the
SETVFX1 setup program, select the SETUP VIPPORT option
and change the I/O Address setting to the new value. After you
exit the setup program, reboot your computer for the change to
take effect.
Symptom 2: The VFX1 HEADGEAR Displays are blank when
performing the TEST VFX1 Headset Test.
Check: Is the Headset/VIP Interconnect Cable installed properly? Make
sure that the cable is securely fastened at both the Headset and
the VIP card connectors. Confirm that no pins on the connectors
are bent or broken.
Is your computer system video adapter 100% fully compliant
VESA feature standard? Consult your Video Adapter or PC
User's Manuals or contact the manufacturer to confirm that your
video adapter is fully compliant.
Is the VESA feature connector properly installed? Make sure
that the VESA feature connector cable is properly installed. It
is not uncommon to misalign the cable on the feature connector
header and/or to have the connector inverted so that pin 1 on the
cable is not aligned with pin 1 on the connector.
