12 Installing the Hardware and Software
Turn off the power to your system, and discharge your body’s static
electric charge by touching a grounded surface — for example, the
metal surface of the power supply — before performing any
hardware procedure.
The manufacturer assumes no liability for any damage, caused
directly or indirectly, by improper installation of any components by
unauthorized service personnel. If you do not feel comfortable
performing the installation, consult a qualified computer technician.
Damage to system components, the accelerator card, and injury to
yourself may result if power is applied during installation.
Before you install your ALL-IN-WONDER card, we recommend
that you first uninstall the driver for your current video card, and
Note
reconfigure your operating system to use the standard display
driver (VGA) supplied with your operating system. For more
information about changing to the VGA driver, see your operating
system documentation.
Installing the Hardware
Now that you have prepared your computer, you are ready to
install your card. If you are not sure whether your card is PCI or
AGP (ALL-IN-WONDER RADEON is AGP-only), compare
the bottom edge of your card with the following illustration:
PCI
AGP 2x
Universal AGP 2x/4x
To install your card
Power-off the computer and monitor, then disconnect
1
the monitor cable from the back of your computer.

14 Installing the Hardware and Software
If you intend to run multiple monitors (see Multiple
3
monitor support on page 14), proceed to step 4.
Otherwise, remove any existing graphics card from
your computer.
If the old
graphics
card sticks,
rock it
gently from
end to end.
Remember
to save the
screw.
SCREW
OLD GRAPHICS CARD
Or, if your computer has any on-board graphics
capability, you may need to disable it on the motherboard.
For more information, see your computer documentation.
Multiple monitor support
If you use multiple monitors, the ALL-IN-WONDER must be
the primary graphics card. Normally, the system BIOS
determines whether the AGP or PCI card will be the primary.
For PCI cards, the system normally assigns priority to the card
slots in order of their appearance. Please refer to your computer
system manual for more information.

Grasp the
new card
by the top
edge and
carefully
seat it
firmly into
the correct
slot (PCI or
AGP).
Ensure that
the metal
contacts
are
completely
pushed into
the slot.
Installing the Hardware and Software 15
If necessary, remove the metal cover from the empty
expansion slot that you select (PCI cards use a PCI slot;
AGP cards use the AGP slot), then align your new card
with an empty expansion slot, and press it in firmly
until fully seated.
