Installation Procedure
CAUTION: Static electricity can damage sensitive electronic components. When handling
your graphics option, use an anti-static wriststrap that is connected to a grounded
surface on your computer system.
NOTE: Before installing the module, check your monitor specification for signal
compatibility and supported features offered by the ATI RADEON 7500 AGP and
PCI graphics controllers.
The following section describes how to install the ATI RADEON 7500 AGP or PCI graphics
controller. To install the module, perform the following steps:
1. Perform a normal power-down of your computer system and disconnect the monitor
cable.
2. Disconnect all AC power cables from the wall outlet (or turn off the circuit breakers if
applicable to your system) to remove power from the system.
3. Remove the cover from your computer (refer to your system documentation).
4. Put on an anti-static wriststrap.
5. If your computer has an existing graphics module, remove the screw that secures it and
then remove the module.
6. The slot to be selected depends on the graphic controller you are about to install. If your
system had a previously installed graphics option, you can use that expansion slot.
Remove the slot cover if you are using a new slot. Refer to your system owner's guide
for information about graphics option slots. The AGP card is always installed in the
AGP slot.
7. Grasp the top edge of the graphics option, carefully insert it into the slot, and seat it
firmly.
8. Secure the module with the screw.
9. Replace the computer cover.
10. Ensure that the monitor cable is connected to the video output connector located on the
back of the graphics option.
11. Reconnect the AC power cables to the wall outlet (or turn on the circuit breakers if
applicable to your system) to restore power to the system.
12. Perform a normal power-up of your computer system.
