(Skip this step if you are not using this type of mainboard)
- It is advised to disable onboard graphics controllers either by jumper on the mainboard, or by changing
graphics adapter priority in the BIOS, CMOS or hardware setup. The mainboard technical reference
manual should have more information.
- If disabled by the BIOS, there will normally be an option in Integrated Peripherals or Chipset Features:
'Init Display First' (or similar). For mainboards with no AGP slot, options may be PCI slot/AGP or PCI
slot/Onboard. For mainboards with an AGP slot, options may include PCI slot/AGP slot/Onboard AGP.
Step 2: Hardware Installation
- Please shut down PC and insert new card (or replace the old card with this new card) in AGP or PCI slot
and secure it by screwing in place. It is important to ensure card is fully inserted in the slot.
To identify the correct slot for your card please note:
- A PCI slot is WHITE in colour
- An AGP slot is BROWN in colour
- A PCIE slot can be Black, Blue, Yellow or Orange
