Introduction

This manual provides operating instructions for user utilities and

installation instructions for the display drivers supplied with your

CIRRUS LOGIC VGA.

The CIRRUS LOGIC VGA graphics system is 100% VGA

compatible. The utilities and drivers supplied with your CIRRUS

LOGIC VGA provide support for additional features of your

CIRRUS LOGIC VGA, such as greater speed, higher resolution, and

more available colors.

Before you begin

The following instructions assume that the user is familiar with DOS

and certain DOS commands. Please review the associated DOS

commands before performing the installation.

Notational conventions

Throughout this manual, the term 'DOS' refers to both MS-DOS and

PC-DOS, except when noting features that are unique to one or the

other.

Table 1 shows the typographic conventions that are used throughout

this manual:

Table 1: Notational conventions

Easy installation

The installation utility is provided to facilitate the smooth

installation of the display drivers and utility software. The

installation program is menu-driven and allows you to select and

install only those display drivers for software and applications

currently in use.

It is important to note that some display drivers need to have the

associated vendor's application program already installed on the

system prior to loading the CIRRUS LOGIC VGA display drivers.

In other cases, the loading of the display driver may be an integral

part of the vendor's product installation process. Please review the

driver product section below for specific instructions prior to

running the installation program.

The installation utility is located on the diskette labeled Disk 1.

To install the desired display drivers and utilities, insert the diskette

into the A: drive, type

A:[Enter]

INSTALL[Enter]

Follow the instructions on the screen to install the listed display

drivers. At any time you may press [Esc] to abort the installation

process and go back to DOS.

Selected drivers are simply copied to the specified disk and

directory. Applications may require additional installation as

described in the Display drivers section of this manual.

Technical support

If you need technical support, the telephone number for CIRRUS

LOGIC technical support is (510)226-3650, Monday through

Friday, 8:30am to 5:30pm Pacific Standard Time. If you get a voice

mail greeting, most likely the line is busy. In that case, leave a

message and your call will be returned within 24 hours.

Software upgrades

CIRRUS LOGIC releases new drivers and utilities about 3 times a

year. You can get the latest releases of software two ways. The first

way is to call the CIRRUS LOGIC BBS (see below). The second

way is to call the CIRRUS LOGIC Software Upgrade Service. The

phone number for upgrades is 1-800-764-7200, Monday through

Friday, 8:00am to 5:00pm Pacific Standard Time. The upgrade

service is provided by an outside contractor, so they cannot provide

any technical support or answer any questions. If you do require

technical support, please refer to the previous section. When calling

them, you should tell them that you need the GD542X upgrade kit

and that your current software is version 1.41. The upgrade kit

includes the latest version of all software and a new user guide.

There is a twenty-five dollar charge for the kit, plus shipping and

handling charges. The twenty-five dollar charge covers the

telephone call as well as the production costs for the kit.

CIRRUS LOGIC BBS

If there are any newer versions of the software provided with your

VGA adapter, they will be available on the CIRRUS LOGIC BBS. It

is a WILDCAT! BBS. The phone number is (510) 440-9080. It can

handle modems running up to 9600 baud. The modem should be set

to NO parity, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit. Before you are able to download

software, you must join the conference(s) for the product(s) that you

are interested in.

Installation

Installing the CIRRUS LOGIC VGA adapter

To install CIRRUS LOGIC VGA, you may need some or all of the

following tools:

•medium size flat blade screwdriver,

•medium sized phillips head screwdriver,

•a 3/16 inch nutdriver or wrench.

Preparation

The CIRRUS LOGIC VGA adapter may or may not be shipped with

the zero-wait-state jumper installed. If so, the zero-wait-state jumper

will be set to not assert the zero-wait-state line. You may achieve

better performance in some systems by installing this jumper. If any

problems are encountered with zero-wait-state enabled, remove the

jumper to disable this feature.

PC, XT and compatible users

The CIRRUS LOGIC VGA card requires a 16-bit expansion slot.

This means that it is not compatible with PC, XT and other 8 bit

compatible systems.

IBM AT and AT compatible system users

The IBM AT, IBM XT-286 and compatible computers use a

program typically called Setup to tell the computer what equipment

is installed in your system. The Setup program is usually part of the

package of programs provided with your AT or AT compatible

computer. The 'Guide To Operations' (or equivalent manual) will

explain the use of the Setup program. After the VGA adapter is

installed, Setup will need to be run to configure the computer for

proper operation with the CIRRUS LOGIC VGA card.

Open the computer system

Before opening the system, be sure that the power to the computer

system unit and all devices connected to it is off. Disconnect the

cables from the back of the system in order to give more room to

work. Note how all cables are connected prior to disconnection.

In a typical IBM AT compatible computer all cover mounting

screws are located on the back of the computer. Remove these

screws.

Carefully remove the cover. On most computers the cover will slide

forward or backward, or tilt off.

Choose an expansion slot for the CIRRUS LOGIC VGA adapter

card.

Your VGA adapter must use a 16-bit expansion slot. Do not insert it

into an 8-bit slot.

Installing the VGA adapter in your computer

Check that the power is turned off.

If necessary, remove a system expansion slot cover by removing its

retaining screw and lifting it out. Save the screw.

Hold the CIRRUS LOGIC VGA adapter by its top corners and slide

it into the system unit. Make sure that it is correctly seated in the

expansion slot.

Secure the VGA card with the screw that you removed in the step

above.

Are the computer system's switches and jumpers correctly set?

Check the user's manual for your computer for any additional

configuration instructions.

Replace and secure the system cover.

Plug a VGA compatible or multi-frequency display into the 15 pin

'D' shaped video connector at the back of the CIRRUS LOGIC VGA

adapter.

Important note: If you are using a multi-frequency monitor, you may

need a special 15 pin PS/2 compatible adapter cable, and you will

need to make sure that your multi-frequency monitor is configured

properly for a PS/2 compatible analog VGA signal. Some multi-

frequency displays have a switch to select 'TTL' or 'analog'

operation; set this switch for 'analog'. Check the manual that came

with your monitor for additional information on configuring it.

IBM AT and AT compatible users

After the VGA card is installed in the AT compatible system, use

the Setup program supplied with the system to tell the computer

about the equipment installed. When using AT and compatible

Setup programs with the CIRRUS LOGIC VGA adapter, please

follow these steps.

Run Setup to configure the computer. Sometimes this utility comes

on a disk, sometimes it is built in to your system's ROM BIOS.

When you arrive at the part of the program where video support is

specified, the program may ask you if the monitor you are looking at

will be the primary monitor, answer yes. If you are presented with a

list of video options, select the option for VGA .

If no option for VGA is listed, select support for EGA. The CIRRUS

LOGIC VGA adapter will look to many systems like an EGA card.

If you don't see an option for EGA, try the option for NO

MONITOR, RESERVED or SPECIAL. These will usually work. If

not, see your equipment dealer. At the conclusion of the Setup

program, the computer will restart as if you had just turned on the

power.

Operation

If you have followed the installation instructions in this manual, you

are now ready to use your CIRRUS LOGIC VGA equipped

computer system. Most software that is compatible with IBM's

Personal System/2, VGA or EGA will run automatically on your

system using the VGA Card. Just turn on your computer system and

install your application package for PS/2 model 50, 60 or 80 video,

VGA, or EGA as instructed by the software manufacturer.
