1.2 Safety Precaution
 Do not remove your graphics card from its protective bag until you are
ready to install it.
 Always try to hold your graphics card by its edges. Avoid touching any
electronic components on your graphics card.
 Static electricity can cause permanent damage to your graphics card. To
prevent such damage, you must ground yourself while installing the
card. You can do this in either of two ways :
» Use a grounding strap, which is a coiled wire with a clip at one
end and an elastic strap at the other. Wear the strap around your
wrist and attach the clip to any non-painted metal surface of the
computers chassis.
» If you do not have a grounding strap, touch any non-painted
surface of the computer's chassis before you begin installation, and
again every minute or so until the installation is completed.
1.3 Installation Notes
 Computers vary in appearance and layout. Therefore, the installation
procedures in this chapter apply generally and you should compare the
illustrations here with your computer before you start the graphics card
installation.
 A Philips-type screwdriver is required for the graphics card installation.
 Your computers documentation should come in handy during the
graphics card installation. Have it ready by your side when you start
the graphics card installation.
 If you have an existing graphics card (that is non-Plug-and-Play-based)
installed in your computer, you must first un-install its drivers before
you remove the graphics card. Refer to your existing graphics card
documentation for more details on this.

1.8 Connecting the Graphics Card
1. Plug your standard 15-pin male monitor cable into the VGA port.
The VGS3D-VID model supports both Composite Video (CVBS) and S-
Video (Y/C). If your TV is equipped with an S-Video Jack, it is
recommended that an S-video cable be connected for better resolution.
Connect one end of the S-Video cable to the S-Video Jack of the
graphics card and the other end to the S-Video In of a TV set.
Otherwise, connect one end of the RCA-type cable to the TV Out Jack
of the graphics card and the other end to the Video In of a TV.
