Handling Precautions

Warning :

1. Static electricity may cause damage to the integrated circuits on the

card.

Before handling any card outside of its protective packaging,

ensure that there is no static electric charge in your body.

2. There is a danger of explosion if the battery is incorrectly replaced.

Replace only with the same or an equivalent type recommended by

|||||the manufacturer.

Observe the following basic precautions when handling the card or

other computer components:

nWear a static wrist strap which fits around your wrist and is

connected to a natural earth ground.

nTouch a grounded or anti-static surface or a metal fixture such as a

water pipe.

nAvoid contacting the components on add-on cards, boards and

modules with the “gold finger” connectors plugged into the

expansion slot. It is best to handle system components by their

mounting bracket.

The above methods prevent static build-up and cause it to be

discharged properly.

Overview

1-3

1.1 Performance

The card is a graphics accelerator. Computer functions like disk access

and numerical calculation are not accelerated by the card. Because

these operations also occur as Windows programs are running, the

overall speed will depend on the mix of graphics operations and the

other types of operations. It is not unusual to obtain an overall system

speed increase of 2 times after installing the card. The speed of pure

graphics operations, like dragging objects with a mouse, scrolling, and

resizing, will be remarkably improved.

1.2 Software Compatibility

The key function of the card is its VGA compatibility. Unlike

coprocessor-based, or IBM8514A-type display cards, the card is 100%

compatible with your DOS computer. This means that all DOS software

will run correctly with the VGAcard without modification.

The VGA compatibility includes backward compatibility with the EGA,

CGA and MDA standards. All DOS software will include drivers for at

least one of these display types and will be fully compatible with the

card. The card is also fully compatible with AGP BIOS extensions for

resolutions higher than 640 by 480.

When the card is used in VGA, backward compatibility, 16-color AGP

modes, or the graphics engine of the ATI RADEON 9000/9000 Pro

card is not used. The speed in these modes will be comparable to the

fastest type of standard VGA card.

1.3 Monitor Compatibility

The card will work with any VGA, Super VGA or Multisync monitor.

AT-009 SERIES GRAPHIC CARD USER MANUAL

1-4

Super VGA monitors can support IBM standard VGA plus the 800x600

extended mode used by most VGA cards, and the 1024x768 interlaced

mode used by most VGA cards and the IBM 8514A.

Multisync monitors are more expensive and will work at all Super VGA

resolutions plus additional higher resolutions or refresh rates. The most

useful multisync monitor specification for determining maximum

resolution and refresh capability is the horizontal frequency range. For

PC use, the lower limit of the range must be no less than 30KHz. The

upper limit is usually 48K Hz, 57K Hz or 64K Hz. These correspond to a

maximum resolution of 1024 x 768, 60 Hz refresh, 1024 x768, 72 Hz refresh

rate; and 1280x1024, 60 Hz refresh rate, respectively.

By default, the card will drive your monitor at a screen refresh rate of 60

Hz. In other words, it repaints the screen 60 times per second. If the

screen is not displayed properly when you boot your system, your

monitor may not support this refresh rate for the resolution chosen. In

this case, you must either lower the resolution to one that can be

supported at 60Hz or lower the refresh rate. The maximum refresh rate

supported by your monitor is specified with the Refresh Rate utility.

Refer to your manual for information on the monitor capabilities. If you

are not sure what refresh rate is supported, you can always try a higher

rate. If the screen looks good, the rate is supported (and will be easier

on your eyes).

Installation

2.1 What’s Included in the Package

The VGA card package includes the following:

1. VGA card accelerator card

2. Software diskettes which contain the necessary files

3. This manual

2.2 Installing the Card

1. Unplug the computer and remove the cover.

Shut down the computer and turn off any attached equipment (such as

a monitor or printer).

Unplug the power cord.

Remove the cover.

2. Remove the current graphics card.

If there is a graphics card currently in the computer, use the following

guidelines to remove it:

Detach any cables which are attached to the current graphics card and

remove the bracket screw locking the card down.

Grasp the card by the edges and pull it

straight out of the motherboard slot. If

the card sticks in the slot, rock it gently

from end to end to dislodge it.

Remember to save the screw.

Note:

If the computer has a graphics chip soldered down on the

motherboard, refer to the manual for the system or motherboard

for information on how to disable it.

3. Insert the Graphics Accelerator card.

Locate the empty AGP socket on the

motherboard and use the following

instructions to insert the Graphics

Accelerator reference card into that

socket:

Grasp the Graphics Accelerator

reference card by its edges.

Align it with the empty AGP socket on

the motherboard, and gently insert it into place.

Make sure that the card is pressed evenly and completely into the

socket.

Fasten the card with the bracket screw.

Note:

Use the figure above to help locate the Accelerated Graphics Port

(AGP) socket on your motherboard. The exact configuration of the

components on your motherboard may differ from the figure. Look

for a single, smaller socket between the set of PCI sockets and

the processor.

4. Reconnect all cable and Replace the cover.

Plug the cable from your

computer monitor into the back

of the Graphics Accelerator

reference card. Make sure it is

securely fastened. Carefully

replace the computer cover and

plug the power cord back in.
