AMD Radeon™ VII

Quick Setup Guide

Before You Begin...

Before you begin installing your new graphics card (P/N: 102-D3600200), visually

inspect the card and any components that may have shipped with it, and contact

your AMD reseller in the event of missing or damaged parts. Also make sure that

you have the proper system requirements and have reviewed the preinstallation

information outlined below.

System Requirements

The following are recommended minimum requirements for installation

of AMD Radeon™ VII graphics cards. These recommendations are for

single-card installations:

• PC with at least one PCI-Express x16 graphics slot available on the motherboard.

• Minimum 650W system power supply, 750W is recommended.

• Minimum of 8 GB of system memory, 16GB is recommended.

• Windows® 10 or Linux® operating system (64-bit operating system is

highly recommended).

• At least one display that is compatible with a DisplayPort or DVI connection.

Recording the Serial and Part Numbers

Write down the serial number and part number before installing your product.

The serial number and part number on the product are required for registration

and technical support. They are located on a sticker on the back of your AMD

Radeon™ VII graphics card.

Getting started

Installation Overview

Once you have determined that your system meets the recommended minimum

requirements, perform the following tasks to install your new graphics card.

Detailed installation instructions are provided in the following sections.

If replacing an existing graphics card, uninstall the old graphics driver and software

before installing the new Radeon VII graphics card.

NOTE: If you are using a motherboard containing an on-board graphics solution and do not intend to

use it as part of a multiple monitor conﬁguration, disable it.

1. Turn o and disconnect your computer system from AC power.

2. If needed, remove any existing graphics card(s).

3. Install the new graphics card.

4. Reassemble and connect your computer system and display(s).

5. Start the computer system, install the AMD drivers and conﬁguration software.

6. Restart the computer system.

CAUTION:

Wait approximately 20 seconds after

unplugging the power cord before

disconnecting a peripheral cable or removing

a component from the motherboard to

avoid possible damage to the motherboard.

2. Graphics card.

Installing the Graphics Card

1. Turn o the computer, monitor(s) and other peripheral devices.

2. Unplug the computer’s power cord, and then disconnect all cables from the

back of the computer.

3. Remove the cover to the computer’s case.

4. Unscrew or unfasten and remove any existing graphics card from the computer.

5. Locate the appropriate bus slot and, if necessary, remove the corresponding

metal backplate cover(s). Make sure all internal cables are clear of the slot.

6. Align the graphics card with the slot and press it in ﬁrmly until the card is fully

seated.

7. If your card requires supplementary power and must be connected directly to

the power supply, locate the appropriate power connector cable(s) from the

power supply and connect it (or them) to the graphics card’s supplementary

power connector(s).

8. Fasten the graphics card securely to the back panel.

9. Make sure no internal cables are interfering with components inside the

computer (for example, a cooling fan) and then replace the computer cover.

10. Reconnect any cables you have disconnected during installation, and then plug

in the computer’s power cord. Turn on the monitor, and then the computer.

If you have properly installed the graphics card, the computer should start

normally. Proceed to install the software and drivers for your Radeon™ VII

graphics card.

NOTE: If necessary, consult the computer manual for help in removing the cover.

CAUTION: Static electricity can seriously damage computer components. Discharge your

body’s static electricity by touching the power supply or the metal surface of the computer

chassis before you touch any components inside the computer’s case to avoid

damaging them.

NOTE: If you cannot ﬁnd a bus slot to match the card, you need a graphics card with the

correct bus to match the motherboard.

NOTE: If applicable, before installing a card that requires a supplementary power

connection, make sure your existing power supply has such a connection available.

Radeon™ VII Drivers and Software

Drivers are small but important programs that enable an operating system to

communicate with a piece of hardware, such as a graphics card. When you install

a new graphics card, you must also install the appropriate Radeon™ VII driver and

conﬁguration software for your card to take full advantage of the capabilities of

your card. You should also reinstall Radeon Software drivers each time you reinstall

or upgrade your operating system. The latest drivers are available from AMD’s

website at http://support.amd.com.

NOTE: When reinstalling drivers, always uninstall any previous drivers that are on your system, even

if they are for the same graphics card. Always start ‘fresh.’ Included with your driver installation is

Radeon™ Settings which is a software application that lets you control and manage your graphics

product. Use it to conﬁgure display, video, and other graphics features such as Radeon FreeSync™.

Display Adapters

Adapters and dongles can be used to connect displays that are not directly

supported by the connection types available on your graphics card. Adapters/

dongles that are not provided with your graphics cards can be purchased from

AMD’s website or through your local AMD resellers. When connecting displays

to a DisplayPort connection, the type of adapter and display that you use may

determine the number of displays that can be used with your graphics card.

• An active adapter allows a non-DisplayPort display to be connected to a

DisplayPort connection using native DisplayPort signals.

• A passive adapter also allows a non-DisplayPort display to be connected to a

DisplayPort connection but using non-DisplayPort signals.

• Transmission of audio and video information between variants of the same

connection type (for example, Mini DisplayPort to standard DisplayPort and vice

versa) are considered to be native connections. More information on the number

and type of displays that can be supported by your graphics card is provided in the

following sections.

Display Configurations

Connecting Displays

The Radeon™ VII graphics card provides support for Ultra HD resolutions via its

DisplayPort connections. Up to four displays can be simultaneously supported via

the onboard DisplayPort connections. Non-DisplayPort devices may be connected

using adapter cables.

NOTE: Only up to three (3) passive adapter cables may be used. Active adapter cables are required for

additional displays. The following table lists options for attaching displays to your graphics card.

For best graphics performance and quality, always use native (or active) connections

when possible.

Sample Display Configurations

Once your displays are connected, you can control how they are conﬁgured using

the Radeon™ Software Adrenalin software application that is available with your

Radeon™ VII graphics driver. By conﬁguring AMD Eyeﬁnity™ technology using

Radeon™ VII Settings, you can also multiply your screen area to allow for immersive

gameplay or larger work spaces.
