Installing Your VGA Card
Preparing Your Computer
Before installing your VGA Card we recommend that you first uninstall the driver for your
current video card and reconfigure your operating system to use the standard display
driver (VGA) supplied with your operating system. For more information about changing
to the VGA driver, see your operating system documentation.
READ ME FIRST
Turn off the power to your system and discharge your body’s static
electric charge by touching a grounded surface—for example, the metal surface
of the power supply—before performing any hardware procedure.
The manufacturer assumes no liability for any damage, caused directly or
indirectly, by improper installation of any components by unauthorized service
personnel. If you do not feel comfortable performing the installation,
consult a qualified computer technician.
Damage to system components, the accelerator card, and injury to yourself
may result if power is applied during installation.
Now that you have prepared your computer, you are ready to install your VGA Card.
To Install Your VGA Card
Power off the computer and monitor, then
disconnect the display cable from the back
of your computer.
Remove the computer cover.
If necessary, consult your computer’s
manual for help in removing the cover.
(Remember to discharge your body’s
static electricity by touching the metal
surface of the computer chassis.)
