Determine your Computer Type

!! Important Information !! Please Read First

Follow the instructions below to determine which type of computer is installed in your cabinet.

DFI Computer

The DFI computer can easily be upgraded by any service technician, even one not familiar with computers.

The computer parts are easy to identify and require only a Phillips screwdriver to upgrade. If your

computer looks like the picture below, please continue with the rest of these instructions to upgrade the

hardware on your computer.

Graphite Computer

The Graphite computer is pictured below. These computers are more difficult to upgrade. This document

shows the upgrade procedure for a DFI computer. The steps are similar for a Graphite computer, but the

components are arranged differently, and you must remove the CD-ROM drive to change the memory

stick.

Some graphite computers have a CPU speed of less than 850 MHz. These computers require a CPU

upgrade. To determine the CPU speed of your Graphite computer, press the F2 key during boot up to enter

the BIOS screen. The CPU speed is displayed as "Processor Speed" on the default BIOS screen. Contact

your distributor or GLOBAL VR®Technical Support to arrange a CPU upgrade.

GLOBAL VR recommends sending Graphite computers to GLOBAL VR to be upgraded by a certified

technician. GLOBAL VR is not responsible for any damage done to your Graphite computer in the attempt

to perform the hardware upgrade on your own. Please contact your distributor or GLOBAL VR Technical

Support to arrange the upgrade.

When shipping the computer, always use plenty of padding and protection. GLOBAL VR recommends

shipping the computer in a box with three inches of foam padding on all sides. Do not return the game

dongles with the computer.

Computer Upgrade Procedures

Computer Removal

Note: The location and arrangement of the computer and hardware may vary, but the removal process is

generally the same for all VORTEK cabinets.

1. Read this instruction document before beginning the procedure.

2. Turn the cabinet OFF and disconnect the AC power cord.

3. Remove the rear door from the cabinet.

4. Refer to Figure 1 or Figure 2, and disconnect all of the cables from the computer. There should be five

cables:

• AC Power Cable from Power Strip

• USB Cable from Happ UGCI board

• Video Cable from Monitor

• Audio Cable from Audio Amp

• Ethernet port from Power Plate (Used for Linking Cabinets)

5. Remove the four (4) wood screws that secure the computer-mounting brackets to the cabinet, as shown

below, and carefully lift the computer out of the cabinet.

Computer Hardware Upgrade

1. Remove the two screws holding the computer cover on, as shown by the circles below. Pull the cover

back 1/4 inch (1), and then pivot it outward (2), as shown in the picture below.

2. Remove the COM 2 serial port from the back of the computer. Use a #2 Philips screwdriver to remove

the screw that holds the port in place (1), and unplug the cable from the motherboard (2).

3. Locate the 128 MB memory stick installed in the computer, as shown by the circle below. Press the

tabs outward (open) to unlock the memory stick from the motherboard, as shown by the arrows in the

picture below, and then gently pull the memory out.

4. Line up the 512 MB memory stick with the first memory slot on the computer. Be sure the tabs are

open, and align the two notches in the memory stick with the guide pins in the slot, as shown by the

circles in the picture below. Gently press the memory stick in, until it is securely held by the locking

tabs.

5. Locate the AGP slot in the computer. Be sure the card lock at the end of the AGP slot is open, as

shown below. Insert the AGP video card into the AGP slot and use a #2 Philips screwdriver to secure

the video card to the chassis, as shown in the third part of the picture below.

6. To confirm that the video card is installed correctly, make sure that there are no gold tabs showing just

above the AGP slot.

7. Re-install the computer cover by reversing the removal process. You will need to align the teeth on the

lid with the slots in the chassis to close the lid properly, as shown in the picture below.

8. Re-connect the cables to the computer. Be sure to connect the video cable to the VGA port on the

new video card, NOT to the port used previously (located above the audio ports).

Hint: Leave the computer outside the cabinet while you perform the software upgrade (see page 11) so

that you can easily reach the CD-ROM. All of the cables should be long enough to reach the computer.

9. When you finish installing the software and have verified that everything is working properly, turn

power OFF and install the computer into the cabinet by reversing the removal steps.

Linking Cabinets for Multi-Player Games

Operation Blockade and Invasion Earth allow players to compete in real time on linked cabinets.

To link two cabinets, connect a CAT5 Ethernet cable to the Ethernet port on each cabinet, and connect the

two cables to each other with a crossover coupler. VORTEK™ cabinets are shipped with a 10-foot

Ethernet cable. Software kits that include linkable games also include an Ethernet cable and crossover

coupler.

Operation Blockade also allows linking three or four cabinets by using an Ethernet Hub (not included). To

link three or four cabinets, connect the Ethernet cable from each cabinet to the Ethernet hub (do not use a

crossover coupler with a hub). You will also have to provide power to the Ethernet hub.
