Procedures

I. Hardware Installation

This section tells you how to install the ASUS PCI-V775V2 Video Card in your PC computer. The steps provided below demonstrate how to install the cards in a typical system. Your system may be slightly different.

WARNING: Computer boards and components contain very delicate Integrated Circuit (IC) chips. To protect the computer board and other components against damage from static electricity, you should follow some precautions whenever you work on your computer.

1.Make sure that you unplug your power supply when adding or removing expansion cards or other system components. Failure to do so may cause severe damage to both your motherboard and expansion cards.

2.Hold components by the edges and try not to touch the IC chips, leads, or circuitry.

3.Use a grounded wrist strap before handling computer components.

4.Place components on a grounded antistatic pad or on the bag that came with the component whenever the components are separated from the system.

IMPORTANT: Keep the host adapter in its antistatic bag until you are ready to install it. Before you pick up the adapter, ground yourself by touching an unpainted surface on the computer chassis. Even a little static electricity can destroy a host adapter component!

Installation Procedures

1.Unplug all electrical cords on your computer.

2.Remove the screws for the back of the system unit cover.

3.Remove the system unit cover.

4.Find an unused 5volt PCI bus expansion slot. Make sure this slot is unobstructed.

I.Hardware Installation

5.Remove the corresponding expansion slot cover from the computer chassis. The slot cover is the metal strip in the back of the computer chassis that covers the opening for the adapter’s external connector.

6.Ground yourself to an antistatic mat or other grounded source.

7.Pick up the board (still in its sleeve) by grasping the edge bracket with one hand. Avoiding touching board components.

8.Remove the plastic sleeve.

9.Position the card directly over the PCI slot and insert one end of the board in the slot first. Carefully press the bus connector on the bottom of the card down into the slot. Be sure the metal contacts on the bottom of the host adapter are securely seated in the slot.

10.Anchor the board's mounting bracket to the computer chassis using the screw from the slot cover you set aside previously.

11.Replace the cover on the system unit.

12.Connect your analog monitor's 15-pin VGA connector to the card and fasten the retaining screws (if any).
