Before installing y our 3Dlabs Graphics Accelerator Card it is important that your system meets the minimum system requirements for your card. Please make sure you have the correct Operati ng System and version, the c or rect type of expansion adapter slot(s) available and the minimum required amount of memory. Your card’s system requirements can be fou nd either on your card’s datash eet located on our website or on your card’s box.

,QVWDOOLQJWKH+DUGZDUH
Before you begin your installation:
1. Save any work in progre ss and exit any open applica tions. 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 inst all 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 y our 3Dlabs card and the accompanying driver software. Whether you install your new card or the driver first depends on whether a graphics card is a lr ea dy present in your system and which operating system is installe d.

If you are replacing an old graphics card in your system and are running either Windows NT or Windows 2000:
Note: These instructions may be different than how you normally upgrade your graphics card or other devices, but have been found to be the best method of insuring a successful installation of your new hardware and software.
1. Uninstall the driv er s for your old graphics ca rd. Refer to your old gr a p hics card’s documentation or Help files for instructions on removing or uninstalling the old graphics card’s driver software.
2. Install the 3Dlabs driver software; see the driver soft wa r e installation instructions.
3. Remove the old graphics card from your system. To install your new 3Dlabs Graphics Accelerator Ca rd, see the hardware instal lation instructions.
If there is no graphics card in your system or you are running Windows 98 or Windows Me:
1. Install your new 3D la bs Graphics Accelerator Card following the hardware installation instructions in this document.
2. Install the 3Dlabs software installation instructions in this document.
Graphics Accelerator Card driver software following the driver
Note: Be sure to register your new card using one of the options described on page 8.

Installing your 3Dlabs Graphics Accelerator Card
1. Determine whether your 3Dlabs Graphics Accelerator Card is designed to fit into either an AGP/ AGP Pro slot or a PCI slot in your computer.
Note: If your card is configured with a factory installed daughter card attached, then the base (or larger) card is an AGP and/or AGP Pro compatible card. If the daughter card includes a card edge connector, the daughter card is a PCI compatible card and must be inserted in the adjacent PCI slot. If the daughter card does not have a card edge connector, it still takes up the space of a second slot, but is not inserted into that slot.
See the drawings below s ho wing these different types of card edge connectors to determine which type of card you have.
PCI-Card AGP/AGP Pro-Card
2. If your 3Dlabs Graphics Accelerator Card includes a daughter card you must install your base card into the AGP/AGP Pro sl ot and th e adjacent PCI slot must be empty to accomodate the daughter card. Check your system documentation to loca te the appropriate slot(s).
3. Turn off and unplug the power source for your system and each of its peripherals.
Note: If you are replacing an old graphics card, be sure to uninstall your old video driver software before tuning off your system and removing your old graphics card.

4. Remove the cover from your system so you can access the slot(s) into w hich you will be installing your 3Dlabs Graphics Accelerator Card. If you have not already removed any existing graphics card from your system, then do so now.
5. If necessary, remove the back panel cover(s) f rom the slot(s) into which you are going to install your 3Dlabs Graphics Accelerator Card, using the Phillips-head screwdriver you should have handy.
6. If an anti-static wrist strap was included in your box, attach it to your wrist and attach the other end to a bare metal (as opposed to painted or sticker covered) surface on your system’s chassis.
7. Remove your new 3Dlabs Graphics Accelerator Card from its anti-static packaging. Write down the serial number for product registration and future use. The serial number is located on a board label and lo oks like this:
136001B123456 Made in XXX Week XXXX

8. Place the card into the corr ect slots(s) and seat it/them f ir m ly. See your system documentation for i nstr u ctions on securing the car d to the chassis. Loose cards and connections can ca use grounding and operat ing problems.
Single slot card Dual slot card
9. Remove the anti-static wr ist strap, if used, and replace t he cover on your system.
Connecting one or more VGA or Digital Flat Panel (DFP) monitors
1. Depending on which model of 3Dlabs Graphics Accelerator Ca rd you pruchased, you can connect one or two VGA or digital Flat Panel (DFP) monitors to drive one or two displays.
2. Check your product’s packaging or the datasheet on the 3Dlabs website to determine how many and which type of connectors are included. See the drawings below for the different type of connectors.
DB-15 VGA Analog Connector
Connect analog displays using a c able with a VGA connector.
DVI-D Connector
Connect digital displays using a cable with a DVI-D connector.

Question:My monitor is either blank, or the displayed image is distorted,
scrambled or smaller than I expected.
Solution: If the monitor is blank, be sure that your system and monitor are
plugged in and turned on. Is the monitor’s power cord attached securely? Check each component’s documentation for the location and use of power connectors and switches.
Solution: Make sure that your video cable is c on nected securely to the monitor
to the correct monitor connector on your 3Dlabs Graphics Accelerator Card. See your monitor docu mentation and Chapter 1 - Installation, in this document.
Solution: Your card might not be seated properly in the appropriate slot. Remove
and reinstall your card as described in Chapter 1 - Installation Remember to use the anti-static wrist strap when opening your system and handling the card.
Question:The performance of and/or the available resolutions for my 3Dlabs
Graphics Accelerator Card are not what I expected.
Solution: The 3Dlabs Graphics Accelerator Card driver may not have installed
fully, or a file may have been corrupted. Try installing the driver again.
Solution: You may have selected a display setting that is incompatible with
accelerated 3D graphics applications. See the Monitor Screen in your 3Dlabs display con t r ol panel for a list of compatible resolutions.
Solution: If the performance is different from w hat you expec ted, check to see that
the correct application or setting has been selected in the Optimized Application Setting i n the Taskbar Based Configuration Manager.

Question:Since installing the 3Dlabs Graphics Accelerator Card, my system
either hangs or crashes to a blue screen when I try to start up, or the system starts up but VGA graphics don’t display.
Solution: Try to disable “VGA Palette Snoop.” Follow these steps.
1. Remove the 3Dlabs Graphics Accelerator Card and reinstall your old graphics card. See Chapter 1- Installation, for instructions.
2. Restart your system and enter Setup at the on-screen prompt. The key command to enter Setup can differ with each BIOS, so consult your system documentation if you do not see the command displayed as the system boots.
3. Disable VGA Palette Snoop, again consulting your system documentation for its specific location in your BIOS.
4. Choose Exit and Save Settings.
5. Shut down, remove yo ur old graphic s card, and reins tall your 3Dlabs Graphics Accelerator Ca rd.
6. Make sure that you are not using an old graphics board driver, and that you have uninstalled any other graphics drivers — particularly those provided by other companies using 3Dlab s chipsets.
7. Please see the Oxygen and Permedia System Integration Guide in the Troubleshooting FAQ section at http://www.3dlabs.c om/s upp ort
8. You may need to update your system BIOS. See your system documentation for system BIOS update information.
Question:I’m experiencing network problems since I installed my 3Dlabs
