Installation
NOTE: This graphics card series can only be installed in motherboards with an
AGP slot.
WARNING!Computer boards and components contain very delicate Integrated
Circuit (IC) chips. To protect the computer board and other components against
damage from static electricity, you must follow some precautions.
1. Make sure that you unplug your power supply when adding or removing
expansion cards or other system components. Failure to do so may cause
severe damage to both your motherboard and expansion cards.
2. Keep all components such as the host adapter in its antistatic bag until you
are ready to install it.
3. Use a grounded wrist strap before handling computer components. If you do
not have one, touch both of your hands to a safely grounded object or to a
metal object, such as the power supply case. Hold components by the edges
and try not to touch the IC chips, leads, or circuitry.
4. Place components ona grounded antistatic pad or on thebag that came with the
component whenever the components are separated from the system.
Installation Procedures
New VGA Cards
1. Unplug all electrical cords on your computer.
2. Remove the system unit cover.
3. Locate the AGP bus expansion slot. Make sure this slot is unobstructed.
4. Remove the corresponding expansion slot cover from the computer chassis.
5. Ground yourself to an antistatic mat or other grounded source .
6. Pick up the board (still in its sleeve) by grasping the edge bracket with one
hand and then remove the plastic sleeve.
7. Position the card directly over the AGP slot and insert one end of the board in
the slot first. Firmly but gently press the bus connector on the bottom of the
card down into the slot. Be sure the metal contacts on the bottom of the host
adapter are securely seated in the slot.
8. Anchor the board’s mounting bracket to the computer chassis using the screw
from the slot cover that you set aside previously.
9. Replace the cover on the system unit.
10. Connect your analog monitor’s 15-pin VGA connector to the card and fasten
the retaining screws (if any).
11. Connect other cables and devices if available -You are now ready to install the
software drivers and utilities.
Systems with Existing VGA Card
1. Change your display driver to Standard VGA.
2. Shut down your computer and unplug all electrical cords.
3. Replace the existing VGA card with your graphics card.
4. Restart your computer.
5. Install the ASUS V9280 display driver.

2. Hardware Setup
Operating System Requirements
NOTE: This graphics card requires a motherboard with anAGP slot.
Windows 98
Windows 98 supports full Direct3D and AGP features. If you are using a beta version
of Windows 98 and you want to fully take advantage the Direct3D andAGP features,
you must upgrade it to the release version before installing the AGP
display driver.
Windows 98 includes VGARTD for the major chipsets but it is recommended that
you install VGARTD from the ASUS support CD to make sure that you have the
latest version of VGARTD (see 3. Software Setup | Install GART Driver).
NOTES
•VGARTD stands for Virtual GraphicsAddress Remapping Table Driver, which
is necessary to use the DIME feature of AGP. DIME means Direct Memory
Execute, which is accessed directly by most AGP chips (when VGARTD is
installed) for complex texture-mapping operations.
•For other notes or release information, see the README files in the
installation CD disc.
•This Manual assumes that your CD-ROM disc drive is drive D: and that
Windows is in C:\WINDOWS. Replace either with the actual location, if
necessary.
IMPORTANT!
•Toavoid damage to your graphics card, unplug your computer’s power
supply before inserting your graphics card into the AGP slot.
•Make sure that the power supply of your motherboard can provide enough
electrical current on the 3.3V lead to maintain normal operation.
•Windows 98 and VIA Systems: If your motherboard has a VIA-based
chipset, the VIAVGARTD must be installed in normal mode.
