NOTE If the computer's monitors do not have built-in video cables, use shielded video cables.
The cables should have DVI-I connectors or 15-pin VGA connectors (with adapters) at
one end for the video output port on the card, and the appropriate connectors at the other
end for the video input ports on the monitors. See the documentation delivered with the
computer's monitors for more information.
NOTE If you installed the video card, the computer will boot into VGA mode. Go to "Installing
Wildcat Driver Software" for instructions on installing the Wildcat driver software.
