3. Software Setup
NOTE: This graphics card series 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.
Installation Procedures
New VGA Cards
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 your graphics card.
4.Restart your computer.
5.Install the ASUS V7100 series display driver.

Operating System Requirements
NOTE: This graphics card requires a motherboard with an AGP slot.
Windows 98
Windows 98 supports full Direct3D and AGP features. If you are still using the beta version of Windows 98 and you want to fully take advantage the Direct3D and AGP features, you must upgrade it 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-V7100 Series CD to make sure that you have the latest version of VGARTD (see 3. Software Setup | Install GART Driver).
NOTES
•VGARTD stands for Virtual Graphics Address Remapping Table 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.
•For other notes or release information, see the README files in the installation 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.
IMPORTANT!
•To avoid damage to your graphics card, unplug your computer’s power supply before inserting your graphics card into the AGP slot.
•Make sure that the power supply of your motherboard can provide enough electrical current on the 3.3V lead to maintain normal operation.
•The ASUS VR-100 Optional Upgrade Kit must be installed to enable the the ASUS VR-100G 3D glasses to be used with the Pure models.
•Windows 98 and VIA Systems: If your motherboard has a VIA-based chipset, the VIA VGARTD must be installed in normal mode.
