Optional Upgrade: Intense 3D Pro 3410G Geometry
Accelerator
This procedure describes how you install the Geometry Accelerator if the
Intense 3D Pro Graphics accelerator is already in the system. To install an
optional Geometry Accelerator into an existing system requires one PCI slot
adjacent to the Graphics Accelerator slot.
To install the optional Geometry Accelerator upgrade:
1. Shut down the system and turn off system power. Physically remove the
power cord from the system and allow the Flea Power to dissipate for 15-30
seconds before proceeding.
2. Open the system base unit as required to gain access to the PCI option card
slots.
3. Use a Phillips screwdriver to remove the blanking plate from the PCI slot
adjacent to the Intense 3D Pro Graphics accelerator.
4. Install the new Geometry Accelerator card in the PCI slot as follows:
a) Align the card with the PCI slot, making sure the gold-fingered
connectors on the card's edge are aligned properly with the slot
connector.
b) Push the card into the slot firmly and evenly until it is fully seated in
the slot connector.
c) Visually inspect the connection. If it does not appear to be correct,
remove and reinstall the card.
d) Use the screw you removed previously to secure the card to the
computer's chassis.
5. Connect the vertex data bus cable between the Geometry Accelerator and the
Intense 3D Pro 3410 Accelerator.
