Overview
The PCIe POWER GXT145 graphics accelerator adapter is a versatile 2D graphics accelerator and
enhances the system unit video. This adapter supports both analog and digital monitors. The adapter
requires a PCI Express slot. A short converter cable is included which adapts the 28-pin port on the

If your monitor has a DVI connector, connect it directly to the main DVI connector (labeled 1/3) of your
converter cable.
If attaching a device that requires a 15 pin D-Shell receptacle for a VGA connection (that is, when the
graphic adapter output is routed directly to a 7316-TF3 display or indirectly through a KVM switch), order
a VGA to DVI Connection Converter, feature number 4276 and connect it to the main DVI connector
(labeled 1/3) of your converter cable.
