Introduction

The Video-228PCI Series video accelerators are excellent 2D/3D multimedia video adapters for PCI local bus desktop PCs’. Based on nVIDIA GeForceFX 5200 core technology, built-in with 128MB DDR memory module, these video cards will provide multiple display outputs onboard for TVout (Analog and Digital) or Dual RGBout (Twin) in optional.

As the previously core technology from nVIDIA, the GeForceFX™ 5200 Graphics Processing Unit (GPU) shakes up the gaming industry with its extremely performance, unusual visual effects, and speedy frame rates-injecting life into the artificial world of computer-generated graphics.

The significant enhancement is the new high quality image control. The nVIDIA GeForceFX™5200 GPU has added two more rendering pipelines and the DirectX 8-compliant T&L unit into its graphic engine, which enables the maximum flexibility and high quality 4Xs mode control capabilities; gathered with the data bus Double Data Rate users can ultimately enjoy the virtual environment of 3D scenes, and ambiance textures appear photo-realistic and custom lighting heightens at a highest resolution with astonishingly fast frame refresh rate.

Another feature of the Video-228PCI Series is the video accelerator, which integrates the HDVP (High Definition Video Processor) and DVD (Digital Versa Display) for video playback with higher definitions at greatly increased frame rates.

A leverage of the combination of hardware and software technology, nVIDIA GeForceFX™ 5200 GPU will provide many of the new features and benefits you look for in your desktop computing as well as the best performance, combining usual quality and exceeding crisp resolution. With all of this, the Video-228PCI Series video cards bring a new level of graphics accomplishment and flexibility to the mainstream desktop PC market!

Hardware Installation

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

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 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).

5. To install the adapter in PCI 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. Use the (remaining) screw you removed to secure the adapterretaining bracket in place.

6. Replace the computer cover. Secure the cover with the mounting screws you removed in Step 3.

You have now completed the installation of your new graphics adapter on your system.

 Upgrade Steps:

To add or change your video adapter to an existing system, you may proceed a few steps before you install the new hardware and software(video display driver). The following are some of the considerations:

1. To change a new adapter, please remove the existing video driver, or replace it with a SVGA driver from Windows®98/Me system before you remove the existing hardware.

2. To add a new adapter, ensure the mainboard that has available IRQ for new devices, and there is no conflict between the others.

3. If you try adding this video adapter to an ALL-INONE mainboard (which video port built-in already), then you must disable that port first. Otherwise, that will be a problem for the new video adapter setup.

4. The driver installation for system upgrade is as the same as below, if an error occurs when you proceed step 1,2 or 3, please consult with your system’s dealer or the existing hardware manufacturers support.
