Procedures

Installation Procedures

II. Hardware Installation

W ARNING! 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/PCI 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/PCI 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 a V6600 series graphics card.

4. Restart your computer.

5. Install the ASUS V6600 series display driver.

ASUS AGP-V6600 Series User’s Manual12

III. Windows 95/98

Operating System Requirements

NOTE: T his graphics card requires a motherboard with an AGP slot.

Windows 95 OSR2.0 with USB Support

Windows 95 OSR2.0 supports 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 GART Driver).

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

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 ASUS AGP-V6600 Series CD to make sure that you
have the latest version of VGAR TD (see III. Windows 95/98 | Install GAR T Driver).

NOTES

• VGARTD stands for V irtual Graphics Address Remapping T able Driver, which

is necessary to use the DIME feature of AGP. DIME means Direct Memory
Execute, which is accessed directly by most AGP chips (when VGARTD is
installed) for complex texture-mapping operations.

Requirements

III. Windows 95/98

• For other notes or release information, see the README files in the installa-

tion CD disc.

• This Manual assumes that your CD-ROM disc drive is drive D: and that

Windows is in C:\WINDOWS. Replace either with the actual location, if
necessary.

Driver Setup

You can use one of three methods to install the Windows 95/98 drivers for your
ASUS AGP-V6600 series graphics card.

NOTE: Method 2 and Method 3 will not install the appropriate AGP GART
driver if your motherboard does not use the Intel AGPset. Installing the AGP
GAR T driver will ensure that the AGPset’s AGP functions are available. Method
2 and Method 3 will not install also the DirectX runtime libraries. DirectX must
be installed so that your video player can take advantage of hardware accelera­tion. See III. Windows 95/98 | Install GAR T Driver and III. W indows 95/98 |
