Installing the Md4/PCX Board and Driver in a PC

To prepare for board installation

1. Turn off the power to your computer.
Leave the computer plugged into a grounded power
outlet. This allows the power cord to serve as a ground
for the computer.
If you leave the computer turned on, you could get an
electrical shock and cause damage to your computer's
components and the Md4/PCX board.
2. Remove the cover from the computer according to the
manufacturer's instructions.
3. Determine which board you want to support VGA dis-
play: the Md4/PCX board (see page 10) or another
VGA board (see below).

To support VGA with another VGA board

Disable VGA mode on the Md4/PCX board. For
instructions, see "To disable VGA mode" on page 13
When you install the Md4/PCX board in a computer that
has an existing VGA board, only one of the boards can
support the Windows operating system. You can run
Windows on either board, but you cannot run Windows
on both boards simultaneously.
