Dual-screen capability One additional slot Software Intense 3D Pro 1000 software consists of the Intense 3D Pro driver. The Intense 3D driver installs as a standard Windows NT driver, and provides both GDI and OpenGL graphics compatibility. Intense 3D Pro 1000 can take advantage of Intergraph’s Heidi Device Driver, which works with the Intense 3D Pro video display driver to support software applications based on the Heidi graphics library.
Preparing for Installation Follow these instructions to prepare your computer for Intense 3D Pro. Make Sure Your Computer Is Ready Make sure your IBM PC-compatible computer has the following: A Pentium or Pentium Pro processor. A high-resolution multi-sync analog RGB monitor. Windows NT 3.51 or Windows NT 4.0 operating system.
Collect Materials and Tools Collect the following materials and tools: Intense 3D Pro boards and (if needed) texture memory modules. Diskette containing the Intense 3D Pro driver. Microsoft Windows NT 3.51 Service Pack 4 software (if needed). Flat-head or Phillips screwdriver, as required to prepare your computer’s PCI slots for installation of the option boards.
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 expansion boards. Add Texture Memory If you want to add texture memory to a Graphics Accelerator, do so before you install the board in the computer.
Start the Installation To start the installation: 1. 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.
If installing two Graphics Accelerators for dual screen-capability, connect a video cable from each computer monitor to the blue video output port on each Graphics Accelerator. CAUTION Do not connect the monitor’s video cable to the black VGA input port on an installed Graphics Accelerator. If you do, the computer will boot to a blue screen and stop, or video will not display.
