3.1.2 Installation on system with existing VGA card
To replace the existing VGA card to your computer, please follow the steps
below:
1. If your operating environment is Windows
®
NT system, switch your
display driver to standard VGA first (refer to Windows
®
NT documenta-
tion for more information). If you are using Windows
®
98/ME/2000,
skip this step.
2. Turn off the computer and unplug all the cables and power cords.
3. Remove the computer case.
4. Remove the existing VGA card. Locate the AGP slot on your mainboard.
5. Put the card directly over the AGP slot and press one end of the card
into the slot first. Slightly but firmly press the other end until it is fully
seated in the slot.
6. Secure the card with a bracket screw.
7. Replace the case.
8. Connect the monitor (see previous section).
9. Restart the computer. Now, you are ready to install the driver for the
VGA card.
MSI reminds you...
Inserting your VGA card into a wrong type of slot (e.g.
PCI slot) will damage your card (refer to your
mainboard manual for more information).
