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 computer 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 computer 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 Wildcat 4210 Card

Refer to the computer's documentation for instructions on opening and closing the computer,
identifying the AGP Pro 110 and Peripheral Component Interconnect (PCI) expansion slots, and
adding expansion cards.
To install the Wildcat 4210 card:
1. Turn off power to the computer and to the monitors, and disconnect the cables from the
computer.
2. Open the computer to gain access to the AGP Pro 110 expansion slot.
3. Remove the existing video card. Keep the screws; you will use them to secure the Wildcat
4210 card to the chassis.
4. Align the Wildcat 4210 card with the AGP Pro 110 expansion slot and the adjacent PCI
expansion slot. Make sure the gold-fingered connectors on the card's edges (see Figure 2) are
aligned properly with the slot connectors.
NOTE A Wildcat 4210 cannot plug into a standard AGP expansion card slot.
