Hardware Installation
Note: For low-profile systems, remove the full-profile
bracket and install the low-profile bracket before
proceeding.
General instructions for installing the card are provided
below. Since the design of computer cases and
motherboards vary, refer to your computer's reference
manual for further information, if needed.
Static electricity discharge may permanently damage
your system. Discharge any static electricity build up in
your body by touching your computer case for a few
seconds. Avoid any contact with internal parts and
handle cards only by their external edges.
1. Turn OFF the power to your computer and any
other connected peripheral devices.
2. Unplug the power cord from the computer.
3. Remove the computer cover.
4. Remove the slot bracket cover from the x16 PCI
Express slot.
5. To install the card, carefully align the card's bus
connector with the selected PCIe slot on the
motherboard. Push the board down firmly, but
gently, until it is well seated.
6. Replace the slot bracket holding screw to secure the
card.
Driver Installation
Desktop systems using Intel 915G/945/965 chipset with
Intel Graphics Media Accelerator Driver installed have
the driver available and ready to go when the board is
installed. No driver installation is needed. Contact your
system vendor or go to Intel.com for the latest driver.
