General HP Installation Instructions
NOTE
Before you install your graphics card, refer to the your workstation’s Technical
Reference (
www.hp.com/go/workstationsupport
) for important system
configuration information.
CAUTION
Graphic cards are susceptible to electrostatic shock. When handling your card
always wear a properly grounded wrist strap and handle the card carefully.
The latest workstation BIOS must be installed on your workstation before
installing the new graphics card. The latest BIOS can be downloaded from
http://www.hp.com/go/workstationsupport. If the latest BIOS is not installed, you
may experience no video, PCI Option ROM errors and system stops during self-
test (POST).
In addition, if you have purchased and/or installed Windows
®
2000, a chipset
driver must be installed to enable AGP. If an AGP graphics card is not run in
AGP mode, you may experience extremely slow graphics performance, system
lockups and Windows
®
stop errors. The chipset driver can be downloaded from
http://www.hp.com/go/workstationsupport.
