SECTION 2 INSTALL HARDWARE
Review documentation provided by your system vendor. Some systems, for
example Dual-PCIe slotted systems, may require special configuration.
If your S3 Graphics GPU is integrated into your system's motherboard, skip to
section 2.4 to begin attaching video cables to the system.
2.1 Before you Install your Board
DO NOT INSTALL THE SOFTWARE UNTIL YOU
INSTALLED THE HARDWARE IN YOUR SYSTEM
Windows Vista and Windows XP are capable of using Plug and
Play detection to assist in the installation of new hardware. Your
new S3 Graphics board must be installed before software
installation is attempted so that the operating system can detect
the presence of the new hardware.
Warning: To avoid accidental electric shock, shut your computer
down and unplug the power cord. To avoid damage from static
electrical discharge and to ground yourself, touch the metal
chassis on your computer before starting any procedures below.
