II. Hardware Installation

This section tells you how to install the ASUS AGP-V3000 graphics card in your PC
computer .

NOTE: The ASUS AGP-V3000 graphics card can only be installed in motherboards
with an AGP slot.

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 must follow some precautions.

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. Keep all components such as the host adapter in its antistatic bag until you
are ready to install it.

3. Use a grounded wrist strap before handling computer components. If you do
not have one, touch both of your hands to a safely grounded object or to a
metal object, such as the power supply case. Hold components by the edges
and try not to touch the IC chips, leads, or circuitry.

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.
