ATI Radeon™ HD 5750/5770

Chapter 1

Installation

For support, you will need to record the serial number and the part number for the card before installation.

Installation Overview

The installation of the card has slightly different procedures depending on whether you are replacing an existing card or installing a graphics card in a PC for the first time. This section briefly describes the high-level steps for both cases.

Replacing an Existing Card

If you are replacing an existing graphics card, you need to:

1.Start the computer and then uninstall the old graphics driver.

2.Turn off the computer and then remove the old card.

3.Install the new card and then connect the monitor.

4.Start the computer and then install the new drivers and software.

5.Restart the computer.

First Card for this PC

If this is the first graphics card for this PC, you need to:

1.With the computer off, install the new card and then connect the monitor.

2.Start the computer and then install the new drivers and software.

3.Restart the computer.

2Installation

Record the Serial and Part Numbers

Write down the serial number and part number before installing. The serial number and 102 part number on the graphics card are required for registration and free support. They are located on a sticker on the back of the card.

The emphasized numbers in bold are required for registration and free support.

Figure 1–1 Sample Serial and Part Numbers

Uninstalling the Old Driver (Windows® XP)

Follow these steps to uninstall the existing graphics card driver in preparation for installation of a new card.

1.With the current graphics card still in the computer, close all open applications.

2.On the Windows taskbar, click Start Control Panel and then double-click

Add or Remove Programs.

3.Select the current graphics card driver and then click Add/Remove.

The wizard appears and removes the current display drivers.

4.Turn off the system after the driver has been removed.

Note: If the previously installed graphics card has any additional software installed, this software may also need to be removed before restarting the computer. For example, DVD Player or Multimedia applications.

First Card for this PC 3

Uninstalling the Old Driver (Windows Vista®/

Windows 7™)

Follow these steps to uninstall the existing graphics card driver in preparation for installation of a new card.

1.With the current graphics card still in the computer, close all open applications.

2.Click Start Control Panel.

3.Double-click Hardware and Sound and then double-click Device Manager.

4.Expand Display Adapter and then right-click the driver for the graphics card you are replacing.

5.In the shortcut menu that appears, click Uninstall.

The driver for the old graphics card is uninstalled.

6.Turn off the system.

Installing the Graphics Card

1.Turn off the computer, monitor(s), and other peripheral devices.

2.Unplug the computer's power cord, and then disconnect all cables from the back of the computer.

Caution:

Wait approximately 20 seconds after unplugging the power cord before disconnecting a peripheral cable or removing a component from the motherboard to avoid possible damage to the motherboard.

3.Remove the cover to the computer's case.

Note: If necessary, consult the computer manual for help in removing the cover.

Caution:

Static electricity can seriously damage computer components. Discharge your body's static electricity by touching the power supply or the metal surface of the computer chassis before you touch any components inside the computer's case to avoid damaging them.

4.Unscrew or unfasten and remove any existing graphics card from the computer, if necessary.

4Installation

5.Locate the appropriate bus slot and, if necessary, remove the corresponding metal backplate cover(s). Make sure all internal cables are clear of the slot.

Note: If you cannot find a bus slot to match the card, you need a graphics card with the correct bus to match the motherboard.

6.Align the graphics card with the slot and press it in firmly until the card is fully seated.

7.If your card requires supplementary power and must be connected directly to the power supply, locate the appropriate power connector cable(s) from the power supply and connect it (or them) to the graphics card's supplementary power connector(s).

Note: If applicable, before installing a card that requires a supplementary power connection, make sure your existing power supply has such a connection available.

Tip: The location of power connections may vary between models. They can be located on either the side or back of the card.

2	Graphics card

8.Fasten the graphics card securely to the back panel.

9.Make sure no internal cables are interfering with components inside the computer (for example, a cooling fan), and then replace the computer cover.

10.Reconnect any cables you have disconnected during installation, and then plug in the computer's power cord.

11.Turn on the monitor, and then the computer.

ATI Radeon™ HD 5750/5770

First Card for this PC 5

If you have properly installed the graphics card, the computer should start normally. Proceed to install the software and drivers for your ATI Radeon HD 5750/5770 graphics card.

Installing the ATI Catalyst™ Software Suite

(Windows OS)

To install or remove software, you must have administrator rights or be logged on as a user with administrator rights.

Note: The installation dialog displays in English if the operating system’s language is not supported.

Software is provided to both operate and take advantage of all the features of the graphics card. Software includes:

•The graphics card drivers.

•ATI Catalyst™ Control Center software.

•HydraVision™ software (included in the custom install).

•SurroundView™ software (included in the custom install).

•ATI Avivo™ video converter software (included in the custom install).

1.Insert the Software and Documentation CD.

Note: If the install wizard does not start, navigate to the CD drive and double-click ATISETUP.exe.

2.From the menu that appears, click Software Install.

3.Follow the on-screen instructions. When prompted, select either Express or Custom .

Not all software components are installed using the Express installation. Custom installation allows you to select individual software components for installation.

Tip: If the installer fails to install the driver, or you have a software conflict, you can download the latest software from ati.amd.com/support/driver.html and then install it.
