installation of VISION-1 Graphic card into your computer system. A
screwdriver is the only tool needed for installation.
Note! Before installing the VISION-1 AGP card, touch a metal
surface of your computer to discharge yourself of static charge,
hold the graphic card by the edges and do not touch the IC chips,
leads or circuits.
1. Before opening the computer cover , be sure that the
power to the computer system unit and all devices
connected to it are turned off. Disconnect the computer
from the power supply.
2. In a typical PC computer all cover mounting screws are
located on the back of the computer. Remove these screws

and save them. Carefully remove the cover.
3. Remove an existing VGA card or disable the mainboard
VGA.
4. Remove the AGP slot shield at the back of the computer by
removing its retaining screw and lifting it out. Save the screw.
5. Carefully insert the graphic card into the AGP slot by
holding the card at the top and gently push both ends of
the slot at the same time. Do not force the card into the
slot! If the card does not fit easily, pull it back, and try
again.
1. Secure the card with the screw that you removed in the
step above.
2. Replace and secure the system cover.
3. Connect a VGA compatible or multi-frequency monitor
with the 15 pin video connector at the back of the
VISION-1 card.
4. Connect the computer to the power supply.
