1. Introduction
Video-117PCI-16 and Video-117PCI-32 are based on Trident Blade
T16/T64(9970) Graphics Processor with PCI bus and DVD
playback. With 128-bit memory bus at 143 MHz clock on PCI bus
aggregation, the performance of these multimedia accelerators are
beneficial to brings the DVD playback in real-time and the high density
video formal expression at high pixel rate up to 286 million per
second, and that is biggest unparalleled cost/performance graphics
solution for today’s desktop application.
The most payoff on Trident Blade T16/T64(9970) is that integrates
the advanced 2D/3D Graphics engine, which capable of supporting
with DVD, video, and digital TV into a single chip solution. The
overlying combines highly evolved per pixel 3D graphics engine setup
and rendering with 2D graphical user interface (GUI) acceleration can
blend the high speed low latency access on 128-bit totally. Taking
expediency of Direct Memory Access (DMA) to retrieve textures from
main memory, textures are no longer limited by local memory.
Trident Hardware Assisted MPEG-2 Architecture (THAMA™) enables
DVD playback support to the multimedia PC. Compared to software
only DVD players, the combination of software based decode and
hardware based motion compensation delivers smooth frame rates
without overloading the processor, requires no extra frame buffer and
minimum PCI Bus bandwidth.
For maximum throughput, the Video-117PCI-16 & Video-117PCI-32
are use PCI bus interface that supports at up to 1.06 GByte per second
transfer rate. Furthermore, Video-117PCI-16 & Video-117PCI-32 are
subsistence Microsoft graphics standard - DirectX 7.0 Cubic mapping,
and PC2001 compliant.

6. Hardware installation
6.1 Installation Procedures
!! WARNING !!
Discharge static electricity by
touching the GROUNDsuch as
metal part of your case connected
with good power ground before
you handle the electronic circuit
boards.
The manufacturer assumes no liability for any damage, caused
directly or indirectly, by improper installation of any components by
unauthorized service personnel. If you do not feel comfortable
performing the installation, consult with a qualified computer
technician.

6.2 Steps:
1. Turn OFF all powers to your system, including any
peripherals (printer, external drives, modem, etc.).
2. Disconnect the power cord and the monitor cable from the
back of the computer.
3. Unfasten the cover mounting screws on your system and
remove the system cover. Refer to your system user manual
for instructions to determine the location of the mounting
screws.
4. Remove any graphics adapter that already installed on your
motherboard. Start by removing the screw that holds the
adapter retaining bracket in place (keep this screw, you will
need it later). Then, gently pull straight up on the adapter card
itself, and remove it from the motherboard.
5. Refer to your computer system manual for the location of the
PCI bus expansion slots. Remove the retaining screw that
holds the slot cover in place. Slide the slot cover out and put
the screw aside (you will need it to secure the adapter).
If you just removed an existing graphics adapter and are not
going to use that expansion slot, you can install the slot cover
you just removed from the unused expansion slot to cover the
open hole.
6. To install the adapter in the selected expansion slot, carefully
line up the gold-fingered edge connector on the adapter
directly above the expansion slot connector on the
motherboard. Then press the adapter into place, completely,
with necessary but minimum pressure. DO NOT USE
excessive force. Use the (remaining) screw you removed to
secure the adapter retaining bracket in place.
7. Replace the computer cover. Secure the cover with the
mounting screws you removed in Step 3.
You have now completed the installation of your new graphics adapter
on your system.
7. Software Installation

9. Windows system transmit all files to your local hard disk drive, please wait
until the process is over.

19
10. Click on “Finish” to complete the driver installation.
7.1.1 ÿÿ MICROSOFT WINDOWS NT™4.0
Windows NT dose not identify the new PCI video adapter, and
always placed a default VGA video setting when system boots up.
To maximum the video board acceleration and performance, you
should install the video driver that is provide from video adapter
manufacturer. Please insert the software CD into your CD-ROM
drive after your desktop fully loaded with default video settings.
