Preparing for Installation
NOTE: If you purchased your Wildcat III 6210 or Wildcat III 6110 Graphics Accelerator Card
as part of a system it was installed and configured prior to shipment. The
following instructions for hardware installation are necessary only if you
purchased a customer kit or need to reinstall your video card.
Before you begin your installation
1. Save any work in progress and exit any open applications. Always back up your system before
you install any new ardware or software.
2. Have a P illips- ead screwdriver ready.
3. Turn off power to t e computer.
IMPORTANT: Physically remove the power cord from the system and wait 15 to 30
seconds for standby power to dissipate. Damage can occur to add-in
components if power is not physically removed from the system during
installation procedures.
Take every possible precaution against static electricity as you prepare to install t e card. Static
can damage components. If an anti-static wrist strap was included in your box, please use it
during ardware installation. You s ould also try to work in a static free area (suc as on a tile
floor rat er t an carpet).
 ouch the metal chassis of the computer to drain off any static electricity before touching the card.
 Do not wear wool or polyester clothing.
 Work in an area with a relative humidity of at least 50 percent.
 Keep the card in the anti-static bag until you are ready to install it.
 Handle the card as little as possible and only by the edges.
NOTE: Be sure to register your new card using one of the options described on page 16.
Installing your Wildcat III 6210 or Wildcat III 6110 Graphics Accelerator Card
1. Refer to your computer’s documentation for instructions on opening and closing t e
computer, identifying t e AGP Pro expansion slot and PCI expansion slots, and adding
expansion cards.
2. C eck your system documentation to locate t e appropriate slots in w ic to install your card.
Bot cards must ave an adjacent PCI slot empty for cooling purposes.
3. Turn off power to t e computer and to t e monitor and disconnect t e cables from t e
computer (follow t e instructions under “Before you begin your installation”).
NOTE: If you are replacing a graphics card be sure to uninstall your old video driver
software before tuning off your system and removing your old graphics card. Refer
to Installing the Driver Software later in this chapter for details on uninstalling
drivers.

4. Remove t e cover from your system so you can access t e slots into w ic you will be installing
your Wildcat III 6210 or Wildcat III 6110 Grap ics Accelerator Card. If you ave not already
removed any existing grap ics card(s) from your system, t en do so now.
5. If necessary, remove t e back panel covers from t e slots into w ic you are installing your
Wildcat III 6210 or Wildcat III 6110 Grap ics Accelerator Card, using a P illips- ead
screwdriver.
6. If an anti-static wrist strap was included in your box, attac it to your wrist and attac t e ot er
end to a bare metal (as opposed to painted or sticker covered) surface on your system’s c assis.
7. Remove your Wildcat III 6210 or Wildcat III 6110 Grap ics Accelerator Card from its anti-static
packaging. Write down t e serial number for product registration and future use. T e serial
number is located on a board label and looks like t is:

If you are upgrading the graphics card in your system
NOTE: These instructions may be different than how you normally upgrade your graphics
card or other devices but have been found to be the best method of insuring a
successful installation of your new hardware and software.
1. Uninstall t e drivers for your old grap ics card. Refer to your old grap ics card’s documentation
or Help files for instructions on removing or uninstalling t e old grap ics card’s driver software.
2. Remove t e existing grap ics card from your system. To install your Wildcat III 6210 or Wildcat
III 6110 Grap ics Accelerator Card, see t e ardware installation instructions.
3. Install t e Wildcat III 6210 or Wildcat III 6110 Grap ics Accelerator Card driver software; see
“Installing the Driver Software” later in t is c apter.
Connecting the Monitor
he Wildcat III 6210 supports six standard external connectors:
1. Primary and Secondary DVI-I output ports (also support analog monitors wit
additional adapter)
2. One Genlock In connector
3. One 3-Pin, MiniDIN Stereo Sync Output connector
4. Multiview In and Multiview Out ports

Connecting a VI monitor
1. Make sure t e power to t e computer is turned off.
2. See t e documentation t at came wit your monitor for information on t e type of
connection t at is required. Your monitor cable will ave eit er a Digital Video
Interface (DVI)-I connector or a 15-pin VGA connector depending on monitor
type. If your monitor is a VGA monitor see “Connecting a VGA monitor” in t is
c apter.
3. Connect t e workstation monitor’s video cable to t e primary DVI-I port on t e
Wildcat III video card. T is connector is labeled “1” in t e picture above and on
t e I/O panel of your card.
4. Turn on power to t e workstation. If t e monitor’s Power On LED does not
illuminate or t e monitor does not display t e startup sequence, consult C apter 4,
“Troubleshooting.”
CAUTION: If you are connecting only one monitor to the Wildcat III 6210 or Wildcat III 6110
you must plug that monitor into the Primary DVI-I port (labeled “1” on the I/O panel
of your card).
NOTE: If you are connecting an additional monitor to the Wildcat III 6210 or Wildcat III 6110
connect the additional workstation monitor’s video cable to the secondary DVI-I port.
See “Enabling the Dual Monitor Feature” later in this document for information on
configuring dual displays.
Dual monitor support is not available under Windows NT.

3Dlabs Graphics Accelerator Card User's Guide
Connecting a VGA monitor
NOTE: You must use a DVI-to-Analog adapter to connect a VGA monitor to the Wildcat III
6210 or Wildcat III 6110. Contact Molex (1-800-78MOLEX) for a “DVI-Analog to VGA”
cable (88741-8300) or a “DVI-Analog Plug to VGA Receptacle” dongle adapter
(88741-8700).
1. Connect t e monitor’s 15-pin VGA connector to t e VGA end (see below) of t e
DVI-to-Analog adapter.
2. Connect t e DVI-I end of t e adapter to t e primary DVI-I port (label “1”) on t e
3Dlabs Wildcat III 6210 or Wildcat III 6110 video card.
NOTE: If you are connecting both a VGA and digital flat panel monitor you must connect
the VGA monitor to the primary DVI-I port (labeled “1”).
3. Turn on power to t e workstation. If t e monitor’s Power On LED does not
illuminate or t e monitor does not display t e startup sequence, consult C apter 4,
“Troubles ooting.”
NOTE: If your monitor does not have a built-in video cable use a shielded video cable
with either a DVI-I receptacle or a 15-pin VGA video connector (with adapter) at one
end for the video output port on the card and the appropriate connectors at the
other end for the video input port on the monitor. See the documentation delivered
with your monitor for more information.
If you ordered the Wildcat III 6210 or Wildcat III 6110 video card with a system it
