Installing the adapter
This section explains how to install the adapter. If you are installing your operating system at this time,
install your adapter before you install the operating system. If the operating system is already installed
and you need to install the device driver for this adapter, install the device driver software before you
install the adapter. See "Installing the device driver software" on page 33 for instructions.
To install the adapter, follow these steps:
1. Determine the PCIe slot in which to place the adapter.
The POWER GXT145 PCI Express Graphics Accelerator adapter has an x1 PCIe connector and can be
placed in a PCIe x1, x4, x8, or x16 slot. See PCI adapter placement for information about the PCIe
slots on your system unit.
2. Shut down the system unit and install the adapter using the instructions in the system unit
documentation PCI adapters topic.
3. Connect the monitor cable to the adapter.
If necessary, you can use a DVI-A dongle (feature code 4276) for connecting a VGA 15-pin connector
on a monitor cable to the DVI connector on the adapter. For example, a DVI-A dongle is needed to
connect to a 7316-TF3 console or a KVM switch.
4. Start the system unit and the monitor.
5. When prompted, configure the adapter by following the online configuration instructions.
6. When Select Display (console) appears, press the number key on your keyboard for the monitor that
is to be the default.
