ATI’s graphics accelerators are the most advanced on the market today. They

improve the performance of your system and display exceptional graphics.

Your ATI graphics accelerator comes complete with enhanced drivers and

comprehensive award-winning software utilities designed to make you more

productive. Please read this guide before attempting to install your card.

Preparing Your Computer

If you are using Windows®NT, you need to update your operating system to

Service Pack 3 (SP3) or later before installing your ATI graphics accelerator.

Additionally, if your current system configuration uses special drivers that are

not 640x480 VGA, you may encounter conflicts with the card. We recommend

that you first reconfigure your operating system to use a VGA driver supplied

with your operating system before installing the card. For more information

about changing your operating system configuration, see your operating system

documentation.

Turn off the power to your system and discharge your body’s static

electric charge by touching a grounded surface—for example, the metal

surface of the power supply—before performing any hardware procedure.

The manufacturer assumes no liability for any damage, caused directly or

indirectly, by improper installation of any components by unauthorized

service personnel. If you do not feel comfortable performing the

installation, consult a qualified computer technician.

Damage to system components, the accelerator card, and injury to

yourself may result if power is applied during installation.

Installing Your ATI Graphics Accelerator Card

Now that you have prepared your computer, you are ready to install your

graphics accelerator card.

To install your graphics accelerator card

Power off the computer and monitor, then disconnect the display

cable from the back of your computer.

Remove the computer cover. If necessary, consult your computer’s

manual for help in removing the cover.

If you intend to run multiple displays with Windows®98 (see page 6),

then proceed to step 4. Otherwise, remove any existing graphics card

from your computer.

Or, if your computer has any on-board graphics capability, you may need to

disable it on the motherboard. For more information, see your computer

documentation.

Multiple Display Support in Windows®98

IMPORTANT: Please read the Readme file on the ATI Installation CD-ROM

for the latest information regarding Multiple Display Support in Windows®98.

Windows®98 provides support for using more than one display device at a time

– you simply install a separate PCI or AGP graphics card for each additional

display you intend to use. With multiple displays, you can expand your desktop,

run different programs on separate displays, even play some newer games with

multiple views. And each display can have a different resolution and color

depth!

Note that, under Windows®98, one graphics card is automatically designated by

the system as the primary graphics card. Each additional graphics card is

designated by the system as a secondary graphics card. Certain 3D and

multimedia features are only available on the primary graphics card. The

primary graphics card is the one that displays the POST information during

startup. If you are installing more than one graphics card, you need to consider

the following:
