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 adapter-
retaining 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 precede 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-IN-
ONE 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
with step 1, 2 or 3, please consult with your system’s
dealer or the existing hardware manufacturer
support.

Technical Assistance
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 these
are found 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 end user.
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 an application that uses
texturing extensively, because texturing and texture 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.
Q8 What is the advantage of as compared to ordinary DRAM?
Answer
SGRAM is now capable of running at much higher speeds than Fast
Page Mode or EDO DRAM. Also, is able to execute a small number of
frequently executed operations, such as buffer clears, specific to
graphics applications, independently of the controller.

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
47
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.
