3 Installing the Hardware
Refer to your computer’s documentation for instructions on opening
and closing the computer, identifying PCI expansion slots, disabling
system board graphics devices (if present), and adding expansion
cards.
Start the Installation
To start the installation:
1. Turn off power to the computer and to the monitor.
2. Open the computer to gain access to the expansion slots.
3. If your computer has an installed graphics accelerator, remove it.
If your computer has a graphics accelerator integrated onto the
system card, disable it. See your computer’s documentation for
information on disabling on-board graphics acceleration.
4. Select the slots into which you will install the Intense 3D Pro
3600 card. Select one open PCI slot for each Intense 3D Pro 3600
card you want to install.
5. Remove the slot covers from the selected slots. Retain the screws
from the slot covers; you will use them to secure the cards to the
computer’s chassis.
Install the Cards
To install an Intense 3D Pro 3600 card:
1. Align the card with the expansion slot, making sure the
gold-fingered connectors on the card’s edge are aligned properly
with the slot connector.
2. Push the card into the slot firmly and evenly until it is fully seated
in the slot connector.
3. Visually inspect the connection. If it does not appear to be
correct, remove and reinstall the card.
4. Use the screws you removed previously to secure the card to the
computer’s chassis.
5. If you are installing multiple cards, repeat steps 1 through 4 for
each card.
