Before you begin your installation:
1. Save any work in progress and exit any open applications. Always back up your
system before you install any new hardware or software.
2. Have a Phillips-head screwdriver ready.
3. Take every possible precaution against static electricity as you prepare to install
the card: static can damage components. If an anti-static wrist strap was
included in your box, please use it during your hardware installation. You
should also try to work in a static free area (such as on a tile floor rather than
carpet).
To successfully use your 3Dlabs Graphics Accelerator Card, you must install the
card and the accompanying driver software. Whether you install your new card or
the driver first depends on whether a graphics card is already present in your
system and which operating system is installed.
