The entire Radeon HD 4670/4650 series support HDMI output which can handle both audio and video signals. However, audio output from the onboard audio controller or the external sound card will be disabled when HDMI output is activated. If no need for HDMI output function, set the onboard audio controller or the external sound card to be the default Sound Playback device to obtain audio output from your system. For more details, refer to page 16.
Expansion cards contain very delicate Integrated Circuit (IC) chips. To protect them against damage from static electricity, you should follow some precautions whenever you work on your computer.
1. Turn off your computer and unplug power supply.
2. 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.
3. Place components on a grounded antistatic pad or on the bag that came with the components whenever the components are separated from the system.
The card contains sensitive electric components, which can be easily damaged by static electricity, so the card should be left in its original packing until it is installed. Unpacking and installation should be done on a grounded anti-static mat. The operator should be wearing an anti-static wristband, grounded at the same point as the anti-static mat. Inspect the card carton for obvious damage. Shipping and handling may cause damage to your card. Be sure there are no shipping and handling damages on the card before proceeding.
DO NOT APPLY POWER TO YOUR SYSTEM IF THE GRAPHICS CARD IS DAMAGED.
In order to ensure that your graphics card can work correctly, please use official GIGABYTE BIOS only. Using non-official GIGABYTE BIOS might
cause problem(s) on the graphics card.

2.2. Hardware Installation
Now that you have prepared your computer, you are ready to install your graphics card. Step 1.
Locate the PCI Express x16 slot. If necessary, remove the metal cover from this slot; then align your graphics card with the PCI Express x16 slot, and press it in firmly until the card is fully seated.
Make sure that the gold edge connector of the graphics card is securely inserted.
Step 2. Replace the screw to fasten the card in place, and replace the computer cover.
Step 3. Plug the display cable into your card; then turn on the computer and monitor. To connect a D-Sub monitor to your graphics card, use the D-Sub connector. To connect a flat panel display to your graphics card, use the DVI-I connector. To connect an HDMI monitor to your graphics card, use the HDMI connector.

How to enable the ATI CrossFireXTM technology?
Step 1: Install two CrossFireX graphics cards of the same chipset on a CrossFireX-supported motherboard and connect the graphics cards via two CrossFire bridge interconnect cables (Figure 1). Then users can enable the CrossFireX technology through the graphics card driver.

interconnect cables.

Step 2: After installing graphics card driver in operating system, when an ATI CrossFireX configuration is detected for the first time by the ATI Catalyst display driver, ATI CrossFireX support is automatically enabled, and the best possible GPU combination is selected based on the hardware configuration. If ATI CrossFireX is not enabled, access the ATI Catalyst Control Center (please refer to Page 14). From the ATI Catalyst Control Center, enter the CrossFireX menu and assure to select the Enable CrossFireX check box (Figure 2).

3. Software Installation
Notice the following guidelines before installing the drivers:
1. First make sure your system has installed DirectX 9 or later version.
2. Make sure your system has installed the appropriate motherboard drivers (for the motherboard drivers, please contact the motherboard manufacturer.)
3.1. Driver and Utility Installation
3.1.1. Driver Installation
After installing the operating system, insert the driver disk into your optical drive. The driver Autorun screen is automatically displayed which looks like that shown in the screen shot below. (If the driver Autorun screen does not appear automatically, go to My Computer, double-click the optical drive and execute the setup.exe program.)
Step 1: Click the Install Display Driver item.
Step 3: Click the Install button.
Step 2: Select the displayed language and then click Next.
For software MPEG support in Windows XP, you must install DirectX first. Users who run Windows XP with Service Pack 2 or above do not need to install DirectX separately.
