Hardware Installation
Static electricity can
severely damage
electronic parts. Take these
precautions:
Before you begin, ensure that your display driver is set to standard VGA
mode (640 x 480) by following the table below.
Remove your existing graphics adapter
1. Turn off your computer and all peripherals such as your monitor or printer
and open your computer.
2. The graphics adapter is often built into your computer’s motherboard so
you do not need to remove any hardware. However, if there is a graphics
adapter card in a separate expansion slot, you should remove it.
Inserting your graphics
adapter into the wrong
type of slot could damage your
card, your computer, or both.
Choose an expansion slot
3. Most computers have different
types of expansion slots.
Choose an AGP or PCI slot,
depending on the type of
graphics adapter you have.
Your system manual should
identify the location of each
type of expansion slot in your computer.

• Before touching any
electronic parts, drain the
static electricity from your
body. You can do this by
touching the metal frame of
your computer
• Don't remove a card from
the anti-static container it
was shipped in until you're
ready to install it. When you
remove a card from your
computer, place it back in its
container.
• When handling a card, hold
it by its edges, and avoid
touching its circuitry.
