II. Installation

Procedures

Installation Procedures

II. Hardware Installation

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.

New Systems

1. Unplug all electrical cords on your computer.

2. Remove the system unit cover.

3. Locate the AGP bus expansion slot. Make sure this slot is unobstructed.

4. Remove the corresponding expansion slot cover from the computer chassis.

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

6. Pick up the board (still in its sleeve) by grasping the edge bracket with one hand
and then remove the plastic sleeve.

7. Position the card directly over the AGP slot and insert one end of the board in
the slot first. Firmly but gently 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.

8. Anchor the board’s mounting bracket to the computer chassis using the screw
from the slot cover that you set aside previously.

9. Replace the cover on the system unit.

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

11. Connect other cables and devices if available -You are now ready to install the
software drivers and utilities.

Systems with Existing VGA Card

1. Change your display driver to Standard VGA.

2. Shut down your computer and unplug all electrical cords.

3. Replace the existing VGA card with the ASUS AGP-V3200 series graphics card.

4. Restart your computer.

5. Install the ASUS AGP-V3200 series display driver.

III. Windows 95/98

Operating System Requirements

IMPORTANT! The ASUS AGP-V3200 series requires its own IRQ to work nor -

mally. If you have problems during installation, please check your BIOS setting
or motherboard jumpers to make sure that “VGA INT/IRQ” has been enabled.

NOTE: The AGP-V3200 Series graphics cards require a motherboard with an AGP slot.

Windows 95 OSR2.0 with USB Support

Windows 95 OSR2.0 support AGP cards, but to take advantage of all the AGP fea­tures, you must use Windows 95 OSR2.0 and install the USB upgrade and then
install the VGAR TD driver for the corresponding chipset on your motherboard. (see
III. Windows 95/98 Install VGARTD).

To install Win95 OSR2.0 with USB support, you must have OSR2.0 installed al­ready. Otherwise, first install OSR2.0 and then use the USB support update (you
must use the same update language of your Windows language). On the April 1997
MSDN Disc-1 “Windows 95, SDKs, and T ools”, OSR2.0 is found in “\OSR2” while
the USB support update is found in “\OSR2\USBSUPP”. To determine the installed
version of the operating system, look in the registry at:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Version
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTW ARE\Microsoft\W indows\CurrentV ersion\VersionNumber

Requirements

III. Windows 95/98

OSR2.0 with USB has:
Version “Windows 95” and VersionNumber “4.03.1212” or “4.03.1214”.

Windows 98

Windows 98 supports full Direct3D and AGP features. If you are still using the beta
version of W indows 98 and you want to fully take advantage the Direct3D and AGP
features, you must upgrade your current Windows to the release version before in­stalling the AGP display driver.

Windows 98 includes VGARTD for the major chipsets but it is recommended that
you install VGARTD from the AGP-V3200 Series CD to make sure that you have
the latest version of VGARTD.

This Manual assumes that your CD-ROM disc drive is drive D: and that MS Windows
resides i n C:\WINDOWS. Replace either with the actual location, if necessary.

Description Recommended Action

VI. T roubleshooting

After installation and re­starting, Windows 95 in­forms me that the display
setting is still incorrect.

My monitor is not capable
of high resolution or re­fresh rate.

There may be a conflict between a previous and the
current display drivers. This is caused by the incom­plete removal of the previous display driver. Try the
following steps to remove it:

1. Right-click My Computer on the desktop.

2. Select Properties. The System Properties dialog

box appears.

3. Click the Device Manager tab. Be sure that View
devices by type is selected.

4. Double-click Display adapters.

5. You will find two (or more) conflicting adapters.

6. Disable all previous adapters by selecting them and
clicking Remove.

7. Close Device Manager and restart Windows 95.

8. Y our display driver should work correctly this time.

It depends on the display characteristics of your moni­tor . Consult your monitor documentation for the proper
configuration.

DirectX or the other ap­plications report no AGP
memory available.

There may be several possible reasons:

1. Windows 95 is not OSR2.0 or later.

2. DirectX version is not 6.0 or later.

3. You have not installed appropriate drivers for AGP
chipset. (e.g. VGARTD.VXD for Intel 440LX
which ASUS installation automatically installs)

4. Incorrect BIOS setting. BIOS must support at least
32MB for AGP aperture size.
