3 Installing the Hardware
Refer to your computer’s documentation for instructions on opening
and closing the computer, identifying PCI expansion slots, disabling
on-board graphics acceleration, and adding an expansion card.
Start the Installation
To start the installation:
1. Shut down the computer. Turn off power to the computer and to
the monitor.
2. Open the computer to gain access to the PCI expansion slots.
3. If your computer has an installed graphics accelerator, remove it.
If your computer has a graphics accelerator integrated onto the
system board, disable it.
4. Select the PCI expansion slot into which you will install the
Intense 3D Voodoo card.
NOTE The selected slot must support PCI bus mastering. In most
computers, all PCI slots have this ability.
5. Remove the slot cover from the selected PCI slot. Retain the
screws from the slot cover; you will use them to secure the Intense
3D Voodoo card to the computer’s chassis.
Install the Card
NOTE Be sure to record the serial number printed on the Intense 3D
Voodoo card before installing it. You will be required to supply the
serial number to get warranty service. The serial number is on a
sticker that includes a bar code. The sticker is located on the
component side of the Intense 3D Voodoo card, in the upper right
corner of the card.
To install an Intense 3D Voodoo card:
1. Align the card with the PCI expansion slot, ensuring that 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.
