Determine your Computer Type 

GLOBAL VR has used Graphite and DFI computers for the VORTEK system.   

The pictures below show the general appearance of the connector panel of the DFI and Graphite 
Computers.  The Graphite computer has the CD-ROM drive on the same side as the connectors.  The 
DFI computer has the CD-ROM drive on the front panel and connectors on the back. 

This document describes specific steps for a DFI computer.  The procedure is similar for a Graphite 
Computer.
