Take Anti-static Precautions

Static electricity can damage the components inside a computer or on a printed circuit card. To
reduce the possibility of electrostatic discharge:
Turn off power to the computer.
CAUTION: Physically remove the power cord from the system and wait 15 to 30 seconds
for standby power to dissipate. Damage can occur to add-in components if
power is not physically removed from the system during installation
procedures.
Touch the metal chassis of the computer to drain off static electricity before touching the card.
Wear a properly connected grounding wrist strap when handling the card or working in the
computer.
Do not wear wool or polyester clothing.
Work in an area with a relative humidity of at least 50 percent.
Keep the card in the anti-static bag until you are ready to install it.
Handle the card as little as possible and only by the edges.

Installing the Video Card

Refer to your computer's documentation for instructions on opening and closing the system,
identifying the AGP Pro50 or AGP Pro expansion slot, identifying Peripheral Component
Interconnect (PCI) expansion slots, and adding expansion cards.
To install the Intense3D Wildcat 4110 video card:
1. Turn off power to the computer and to the monitor, and disconnect the cables from the
computer.
2. Open the computer to gain access to the AGP Pro50 or AGP Pro expansion slot.
3. Remove the existing card. Keep the screws; you will use them to secure the Intense3D
Wildcat 4110 card to the chassis.
4. Align the Wildcat 4110 card with the AGP Pro50 or AGP Pro expansion slot, as required.
Make sure the gold-fingered connections on the card's edge are aligned properly with the slot
connector (see Figure 2; these connectors are labeled on the left side of the image).
5. Push the card into the expansion slot firmly and evenly until it is fully seated in the slot
connector.
6. Visually inspect the connection. If it does not appear to be correct, remove and reinstall the
card.
