Installing the Hardware

Refer to your computer's documentation for instructions on opening

and closing the computer, identifying PCI expansion slots, disabling

on-board graphics acceleration, and adding an expansion card.

To start the installation:

1. Shut down the computer. Turn off power to the computer and to

the monitor.

2. Open the computer to gain access to the PCI expansion slots.

3. If your computer has an installed graphics accelerator, remove it.

If your computer has a graphics accelerator integrated onto the

system board, disable it.

4. Select the PCI expansion slot into which you will install the

Intense 3D Voodoo card.

NOTE

The selected slot must support PCI bus mastering. In most

computers, all PCI slots have this ability.

5. Remove the slot cover from the selected PCI slot. Retain the

screws from the slot cover; you will use them to secure the Intense

3D Voodoo card to the computer's chassis.

NOTE

Be sure to record the serial number printed on the Intense 3D

Voodoo card before installing it. You will be required to supply the

serial number to get warranty service. The serial number is on a

sticker that includes a bar code. The sticker is located on the

component side of the Intense 3D Voodoo card, in the upper right

corner of the card.

To install an Intense 3D Voodoo card:

1. Align the card with the PCI expansion slot, ensuring that the

gold-fingered connectors on the card's edge are aligned properly

with the slot connector.

2. Push the card into the slot firmly and evenly until it is fully seated

in the slot connector.

3. Visually inspect the connection. If it does not appear to be

correct, remove and reinstall the card.
