Chapter 3 - Hardware Installation

STEP 4 - Insert the VIP Card

□ Pick up the VIP Card and align it with the adapter slot you previously selected.

The end with the mounting cover and external connectors should line up with
the slot covering opening on the PC.

□ Insert the VIP Card into the selected slot and seat the edge connector fully by

pressing down evenly and firmly on the VIP Card until it snaps into place.

□  Fasten the VIP Card's mounting bracket to the computer chassis using the

screw you removed from the expansion slot cover previously.

□ Attach the free end of the VESA Feature Connector Cable to your computer's

Feature Connector. Make sure that "Pin 1" on the cable (indicated by the red
stripe) is attached to "Pin 1" on the connector (typically marked "1" on the
board) and that the cable is properly aligned on the connector. The illustration
below shows a typical motherboard connection.

Note: If your computer is equipped with a video adapter card, the cable would
instead be attached to the video card's VESA Feature Connector (see figure on page
3-2).
