!! 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.

11

To install the adapter into your system, follow these steps:

1. Turn OFF all power 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 and to determine the location of the mounting
screws.

4. Remove any graphics adapter that already exists 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. If appropriate, you can use the expansion slot left vacant by
the existing graphics adapter you just removed. Otherwise,
select an appropriate unused PCI bus expansion slot for the
new adapter. Refer to your computer system manual for the
location of the PCI 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. Install the adapter. 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, using only as much pressure as is safely
necessary. 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.

12

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

4. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1 Why do we need 3D graphics capability in our PC?
Answer

3D technology is becoming increasingly important (and
common) not only in games, but also in other applications such
as VRML, which allows 3D scene descriptions in Web
applications. 3D technology is used for image editing, modeling,
and an increasing number of in home and business applications.
In games, as well as other applications, 3D acceleration not only
allows better visual qualities and more realistic scenery
attributes than software alone, but it also allows a higher frame
rate, which translates into a more interactive experience for the
enduser.

Q2 What does “Rendering Engine” mean?
Answer

“Rendering Engine” generically applies to the part of the
graphics engine that draws 3D primitives, usually triangles. In
most implementations, the rendering engine is responsible for
interpolation of edges and "filling in" the triangle.

Q3 What does the set-up engine do in a graphics controller?
Answer

A set-up engine allows drivers to pass triangles in the form of
raw vertex information; whereas, most common designs force
triangles to be pre-processed for the rendering engine in terms
of delta values for edges, color, and texture.

Q4 Why does a 3D graphics chip need to have both a rendering
engine and a setup engine?

Answer

Any “3D application”, a game, VRML, or modeling package, can
benefit from 3D rendering. This is especially true of applications
that use texturing extensively, because texturing and texture

15

filtering are very intensive operations at the pixel level in terms
of CPU operations and demands for memory bandwidth.
Without a set-up engine in a graphics controller, the CPU has to
calculate the delta values for edges, color, and textures; the
drivers need to handle ten (10) times more extensive data. This
results in slower 3D pipeline operations between the CPU and
the graphics controller.

Q5 If we use powerful CPUs, such as a Pentium™ 200, can a
standard 2D graphics card achieve 3D performance?

Answer

Yes and no. Software rendering can take advantage of "tricks"
learned by force of necessity through years of trial and error.
With such stratagems, the speed of software rendering for
simple scenes can approach that of low-level hardware 3D
rendering. On the other hand, as scenes become more complex
(or frame sizes become larger), there are conflicts between
using the CPU for high-level game logic, geometry, lighting, and
rendering, all of which increase their demands. No current CPU
or system can perform advanced quality-enhancements (bilinear
filtering and alpha blending) in real time. Even general case
texture mapping with RGB lighting is too much for the current
CPU generation.

Q6 What does "software 3D" mean ?
Answer

Software 3D is generally used to mean using non-specific (2D)
hardware in conjunction with the CPU to render for 3D
applications. Some of these techniques allow usable 3D
applications when high-powered and/or MMX™-equipped CPU's
are employed along with special-case software optimization
techniques. As stated above, SW 3D can achieve credible
results with today's (software optimized) applications, but the
rising popularity of good 3D hardware at the consumer price
level is inexorably compelling the public to expect hardware
level scene enhancements and frame rates.

Q7 What is “SGRAM”?
Answer

Synchronous Graphics Random Access memory (SGRAM) is a
new and improved type of memory, custom-designed for
graphics use.

16

Q8 What is the advantage of SGRAM as compared to ordinary
DRAM?

Answer

SGRAM is now capable of running at much higher speeds than
Fast Page Mode or EDO DRAM. Also, SGRAM is able to
execute a small number of frequently executed operations, such
as buffer clears, specific to graphics applications, independently
of the controller.

5. Troubleshooting

The following are some recommended steps to take if the GUI
accelerator adapter will not boot 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 GUI accelerator card (See Appendix B). 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 PCI 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.

Problem: Windows hangs up during or after installing a driver.

Solution A: Reread installation procedures to be sure you have

installed the drivers correctly.

Problem: Windows color palette does not look right or colors

changing.

Solution: Most likely a defective RAMDAC, memory chip, clock

chip, or crystal. Contact your dealer to have the problem
repaired.

17

Problem: Can't display certain modes.

Solution A: Run the SVM program (See the User's Guide for more

information on the SVM program). If the SVM program
fails, go to Solutions B, and C.

Solution B: Check to see that there is enough memory on the GUI

accelerator to run this mode. For example, to run display
mode 79H (1024x768-64K colors, refer to the tables in
Section 2), 2 MB of display memory is required.

Solution C: If Solutions A, or B do not resolve this problem, it may

be hardware related. Check the specifications of the
monitor.

10. Reducing Warranty ClaimReducing Warranty Claim

Rejections.Rejections.

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

28

• 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.
