Preparing Your Computer

WARNING Turn off the power to your system and discharge your

body’s static electric charge by touching a grounded surface—for

example, the metal surface of the power supply—before performing

any hardware procedure.

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 a qualified computer technician.

Damage to system components, the accelerator card, and injury to

yourself may result if power is applied during installation.

Windows®NT Users If you are using Windows®NT, you need to

update your operating system to Service Pack 3 (SP3) or later before

installing your RAGE™ 128-based graphics accelerator card.

Additionally, if your current system configuration uses special drivers

that are not 640x480 VGA, you may encounterconflicts with the card.

We recommend that you first reconfigure your operating system to use

a VGA driver supplied with your operating system before installing

the card. For more information about changing your operating system

configuration, see your operating system documentation.

Installing Your ATI Graphics Accelerator Card

Now that you have prepared your computer, you are ready to install

your graphics accelerator card.

To install your graphics accelerator card

Power off the computer and monitor, then disconnect the

graphics card from your computer. Or, if your computer has any

on-board graphics capability, you may need to disable it on the

motherboard. For more information, see your computer

documentation.

If necessary, remove the metal cover from the empty expansion

slot that you select (AGP cards use the AGP slot), thenalign your

new card with the expansion slot, and press it in firmly until

the card is fully seated.
