6.1 Installation Procedures

!! WARNING !!

Discharge static electricity by

touching the GROUND such as

metal part of your case connected

with good power ground before

you handle the electronic circuit

boards.

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 with a qualified computer technician.

6.2 Steps:

1. Turn OFF all powers to your system, including any

peripherals (printer, external drives, modem, etc.).

2. Disconnect the power cord and the monitor cable from the

back of the computer.

3. Unfasten the cover mounting screws on your system and

remove the system cover. Refer to your system user manual for instructions to determine the location of the mounting screws.

4. Remove any graphics adapter that already installed on your

motherboard. Start by removing the screw that holds the adapter retaining bracket in place (keep this screw, you will need it later). Then, gently pull straight up on the adapter card itself, and remove it from the motherboard.

5. Refer to your computer system manual for the location of the

AGP bus expansion slots. Remove the retaining screw that holds the slot cover in place. Slide the slot cover out and put the screw aside (you will need it to secure the adapter). If you just removed an existing graphics adapter and are not

going to use that expansion slot, you can install the slot cover you just removed from the unused expansion slot to cover the open hole.

6. To install the adapter in the selected expansion slot, carefully

line up the gold-fingered edge connector on the adapter directly above the expansion slot connector on the motherboard. Then press the adapter into place, completely, with necessary but minimum pressure. DO NOT USE excessive force. Use the (remaining) screw you removed to secure the adapter retaining bracket in place.

7. Replace the computer cover. Secure the cover with the

mounting screws you removed in Step 3.

8. Technical Assistance (Q & A)

Q: Why is the display shifted or changed sizes when I switch

display modes?

Some monitors lack auto-sizing features or just do not synchronize properly to the video board output. In some cases, horizontal and vertical display adjustments may be necessary. Use the monitor control panel functions to adjust screen.

In other cases, mode type and refresh rate adjustments may be necessary. Use the utility program which provided by video card manufacturer or production developer. To centering the display with normal type (mode 3), and to reduce (decrease) the refresh rate with the monitor’s specification.

Q: What kind monitors can display 800x600 mode or higher

resolution mode?

To display 800x600 resolution at 60Hz refresh rate, the monitor must be capable of synchronizing a 31.5KHz horizontal scan rate (e.g., NEC 2A, 3D). At 72Hz refresh rate, the monitor must be capable of synchronizing a 48.0KHz scan rate (e.g., Sony HG 1304, NEC 4D, 5D, Seiko 1450).

To display 1024x768 interlaced mode, the monitor must be capable of synchronizing a 35.5KHz horizontal scan rate (e.g., NEC 3D, Seiko 1430 or 1440). To display 1024x768 noninterlaced mode at 60Hz, the monitor must be capable of synchronizing a 48.7KHz scan rate (e.g., Sony HG 1304, NEC 4D, 5D, Seiko 1450).

To display 1024x768 non-interlaced mode at 70Hz, the monitor must be capable of synchronizing a 56.4KHz scan rate (e.g., NEC 4D).

Q: Windows screen won’t come up, it kicks back to DOS prompt. Why?

The SYSTEM.INI file may contain different information with the system hardware, cause by the new integration or the new installation of a video adapter. The SYSTEM.INI file is located in the WINODWS\SYSTEM directory. Use MS DOS editor to open the file, and change the statement that is under [Boot description]

section: display.drv= VGA then save changes, and restart Windows. Or, Under DOS prompt, type within Windows “SETUP” , change the display

selection to VGA then exit and restart Windows.

Windows 9x

Inadvertently, certain configuration files (e.g., msdos.sys, command.com) have been changed in the system. Proceed to correct that, is re-boot the system with a system (Windows 9x) formatted floppy diskette.

There are many reasons to causing the system booting-up with un-appropriated steps. Base on Microsoft support wizard on their WEBsite, there are many technical articles to help users with this subject, such as troubleshooting with VXD errors, virus, Fatal exceptions, etc., more details cover on each issue are descriptive and familiar with, and exclusively further to our support.

Q: System hangs-up after installing video driver. A:

Today, most video drivers are developed for 32-bit processing and may require a channel to Code/Decode. Conflict between device drivers and TSR (terminate-and-stay-resident) programs will inverted the display, and are particularly effectual at crashing computer. The most effective way to check for conflicts is to replace with the original video driver, or delete and re-install the current video driver to the system.

Accomplishing IRQs (Interrupt Request Query) settings, or troubleshooting the conflicts on hardware source may necessary.

Most PCI/AGP video cards designed for Plug-n-Play, that means video card IRQ’s setup which controls by main board’s (mother board) circuitry and BIOS. Physically pulling out other devices from system, and re-start the computer. Confirm and modify your IRQ addresses with qualified computer technician.

Q: Multiple images or unreadable screen after loading video driver. A:

There are a variety of reasons why the display might be distorted. One common reason is a monitor mismatch. Some older multifrequency monitors are unable to switch video modes without being turned off, then turned on again.

If the problem occurring in windows, make sure that you have loaded that proper video driver, and that the driver is compatible with the monitor being used. Try re-configuring your application software to use a compatible video mode. If problem persist in windows, load the standard generic VGA driver. The generic VGA driver should function properly with virtually every video board and VGA (or SVGA) monitor available.

If that is an unsatisfactory solution, you may have to upgrade to a monitor that support the desired video mode.

Some new monitors are also synchronizing this problem because built-in DDC (Data-Digital-Channel) feature. Sometime that DDC automatically setup the display frequency without loading video driver. Try to turn it off, or change settings of monitor type in your system.

Q: Selection of color, resolution and refresh rate combination

that always back to default after restart the system.

Accordingly, there must be a bug (defected source-code) in video driver, or in the system. Debug the source-code or fix the error in video driver, that should be done by the driver developer. Likewise, upgrade the video driver from the manufacturer or from the original software developer is necessary.

8.1 Tips

The following are some recommended steps to take if the video adapter will not boot up or operate properly in your system:

1. Ensure that the monitor or TV brightness and contrast controls

are properly adjusted.

2. Check to see if your monitor or TV is properly connected to the

card. Be sure your monitor’s pin definitions match those of your video card. For TV out, ensure that the composite signal is connected to a “Video Input” RCA jack on the TV (or check the S-video connection). Read the TV owner’s manual to select the proper signal jack for the display.

3. Turn the system on and confirm that the power supply is

operating properly; i.e., that the fan operates and the system power light turns on.

4. Check to see if the card is firmly seated in its AGP bus

expansion slot. It should not be making contact with any other cards in the system.

Note: Turn the system off before adjusting the card.

12.7 Reducing Warranty Claim Rejections.

To reduce the potential of incurring damages not covered by Manufacturers warranties, we strongly recommend the following:

• Read your manuals before installing peripherals and/or

before making changes to the machine’s configuration;

• Ask your dealer if there are any known problems with the

system requirements or installation procedures for any add-on products that your are purchasing;

• Buy industry standard products where compatibility issue

are more likely to surface;

• If you are unsure about installation for a new product,

contact your dealer’s service department.

We believe it is important for you to know and understand what your warranty coverage provides and what it does not.

We also want you to be aware that most hardware warranties only relate to the function of the hardware. In most cases, no assurances are given by the manufacturer that the hardware item will work in conjunction with any other hardware item. If a computer product is not working because it is not compatible with another product, or because it has not been properly installed and set-up, the manufacturer does not pay for the service time. To help avoid these inconveniences, contact a professional consultant that one can help you determine the possibility of incompatibility issue before you purchase add-on or accessories.
