For detailed information on your operating system, refer to the documentation delivered with the system.

Preparing for Installation

NOTE: If you purchased your Wildcat Realizm Graphics

Accelerator Card as part of a system, it was preconfigured to operate in your system before shipment. No other modifications are necessary. Also, your system’s graphics accelerator drivers were installed before shipment and are operative when you receive the system. No further installation or configuration is necessary unless you purchased a custom kit or need to reinstall your video card. Store the driver delivery media that came with your system in a safe place in case you ever need to reinstall the drivers.

SETUP

Before you begin your installation

Save any work in progress, exit all open applications, and disable any software you may have running such as virus scan software. Always back up your system before you install any new hardware or software.

1. Turn off power to the computer.

IMPORTANT: Physically remove the power cord from the system

and wait 15 to 30 seconds for standby power to dissipate. Damage can occur to add-in components if power is not physically removed from the system during installation procedures.

2. 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 hardware installation. You should also try to work in a static free area (such as on a tile floor rather than carpet).

• Touch the metal chassis of the computer to drain off any static electricity before touching the card.

• Do not wear wool or polyester clothing.

• Work in an area with a relative humidity of at least 50 percent.

• Keep the card in the anti-static bag until you are ready to install it.

• Handle the card as little as possible and only by the edges.

Installing your Wildcat Realizm Graphics Accelerator Card

Refer to your computer’s documentation for instructions on opening and closing the computer, identifying the AGP 8x or PCI Express expansion slots and adding expansion cards.

3Dlabs Wildcat Realizm Graphics Accelerator User's Guide

SETUP

NOTE: If you are replacing a graphics card, be sure to uninstall

your old video driver software before tuning off your system and removing your old graphics card. Refer to Installing the Driver Software later in this chapter for details on uninstalling drivers.

1. Turn off power to the computer and to the monitor and disconnect the cables from the computer (follow the instructions under “Before you begin your installation”).

2. Remove the cover from your system so you can access the slots into which you will be installing your Wildcat Realizm Graphics Accelerator Card. Check your system documentation to locate the appropriate slots in which to install your card.

IMPORTANT: All Wildcat Realizm 100, 200 and 800 cards must have

an adjacent slot empty for cooling purposes. You must also have the appropriate power supply wattage for the Wildcat Realizm card you are installing. Please check you system and/or your system documentation for these specifications.

3. If you have not already removed any existing graphics card(s) from your system, then do so now.

4. If necessary, remove the back panel covers from the slot(s) into which you are installing your Wildcat Realizm Graphics Accelerator Card, using a Phillips-head screwdriver.

5. 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.

6. Remove your Wildcat Realizm 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 looks similar to this:

136001B123456 Made in XXX Week XXXX

7. Before you install your Wildcat Realizm graphics card, take special care to ensure that the motherboard and system you are placing the graphics card into do not violate the physical space

3Dlabs Wildcat Realizm Graphics Accelerator User's Guide

SETUP

that the graphic card requires. Also, ensure that there is space for drive cable connections to the motherboard and existing power or communication cable routings. For some systems, the extender bracket on the back of the Wildcat Realizm graphics card may need to be removed for proper installation.

IMPORTANT: The Wildcat Realizm 800 is a full-length, double-width,

graphics card complying with the PCI Express™ x16 Graphics 150W-ATX Specification 1.0. You should verify that the motherboard and the system in which you are installing the graphics card comply with this specification. This will ensure that there are no physical conflicts to prevent proper installation of the Wildcat Realizm 800.

8. Place the card into the correct slot, seat firmly, and secure the card to the chassis. See your system documentation for instructions on securing the card to the chassis. Loose cards and connections can cause grounding and operating problems.

NOTE: The cooling fan on the graphics card must have sufficient

clearance to ensure proper airflow. Blocked airflow can cause the graphics card to overheat.

Ensure there are no cables or wires around the fan that

could block airflow to the card or catch in the fan, preventing the fan blades from turning properly.

Connecting Power to the Graphics Card

WARNING: YOU MUST CONNECT AUXILIARY POWER TO THE WILDCAT REALIZM 100, 200, OR 800 GRAPHICS

CARD

. FAILING TO FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS FOR CONNECTING THE POWER SUPPLY TO THE CARD

WILL DAMAGE THE CARD

NOTE: T

HE WILDCAT REALIZM 500 DOES NOT REQUIRE AN AUXILIARY POWER CONNECTION.

Before you restore power to the system, you must connect auxiliary power from the system power supply to the graphics card (the Wildcat Realizm 500 is an exception to this). If you do not have the available

cable(s) to plug into the graphics card, you probably do not have a power supply which will support the graphics card. See “System Requirements” in the Introduction section for the specific power supply requirement for your card.

Connecting power to the Wildcat Realizm 800

The Wildcat Realizm 800 (which conforms to the PCI Express™ x16 Graphics 150W-ATX Specification

1.0 for graphics accelerators) uses power from the system power supply via a High-End power connector specifically designed to plug directly into a x16 PCI Express graphics card.

If your system power supply does not have the High-End power connector, it does not conform to the PCI Express High-End power specification. Before you continue installation of your card, you must ensure your system has the minimum recommended power requirements. In addition, you will need to use the power Y cable supplied with your card to connect the to the system power supply. The power Y cable will allow you to connect two independent power cables from the system power to supply power to the card. The cable connectors must be the initial connection closest to the power supply.

WARNING: F
