2. Hardware Installation
Notices
Please read the following notices before installing the graphics card.
●Make sure that your operating system is installed properly.
●Uninstall all previously installed drivers and display-related software such as Pivot.
●Log in as a user with administrative privileges to install the driver.
●Remove all currently installed old graphics card.
●Proper operation of this graphics card is not guaranteed when used with other graphics
cards for a multi-display setup. If an error occurs, see Q&A in this manual.
Disconnecting power cables
Disconnect power cables of the computer and other peripheral devices.
Installing the graphics card
1Remove the cover of the computer. (See the computer instruction manual.)
Caution: ESD (Electrostatic Discharge) Breakdown
Static electricity could damage delicate components of the computer and the graphics
card. Discharge static electricity by touching metal parts of the computer prior to
installation. Do not touch electric parts or terminals.
2Remove the old card or a bracket from an appropriate slot.
Caution: Burn
Internal parts may be hot if the computer has been turned on previously.
3Install the graphics card in the slot firmly. Make sure it does not touch any part of the
computer.
Caution: Ventilation
Ensure the proper airflow for cooling the graphics card: leave the adjacent slot open,
keep the computer's internal cables away from the cooling fan, or keep things away
that could get caught in the fan. (E.g., labels are easy to come off when heated.)
Important: If the computer is used without the fan working, it could cause a failure.
4Secure the bracket to the chassis of the computer.
5Put the cover back on the computer.
Connecting the display
When using LVU2E1 on 5MP monochrome LCD ME551i2 ...
ME551i2 supports landscape and portrait orientations. However, the EDID (Extended
Display Information Data) within the display controls the display orientation and its
orientation settings need to be manually switched. By default, it is set to portrait. See the
display user manual for instructions.
Please note that, in setting up LVU2E1 in Display Properties, only choices available
for the currently used display orientation will be listed. For instance, when ME551i2
is in portrait orientation, landscape resolutions do not appear in the drop-down menu.
Therefore, it is recommended that the display orientation be determined before starting
the following procedures.

ENGLISH - 6 -
See the table below to check in what orientation ME551i2 is.
Display mode LED behavior upon turn-on
Portrait (default)
The LED blinks just once.
Landscape
The LED blinks twice.
1Connect one end of the DVI cable supplied with the display to LVU2E1 and the other
end to the display and tighten the screws on the connectors.
Careful not to break the connector pins by trying to insert the DVI connector at
an angle.
Caution
Graphics card connectors (female):
Note:
• LVU2E1 has two DVI connectors. Make sure to connect the first display to
Connector 1 on the left when the card is placed face up.
• LVU2E1 has two dual-link DVI connectors. To use LVU2E1 in dual-link mode, a
display and a DVI cable that support dual-link are required. Use the DVI cable
supplied with the dual-link display.

the display and set its refresh rate to 50Hz (see All users on pages 11-12).
Installation
Which display driver should I use?
Use the supplied driver or the designated customized driver for TOTOKU displays.
Proper operation of this card is not guaranteed when other display drivers are used.
The VGA boot screen (POST) does not appear.
Check the followings:
• The display is not turned on, or the signal cable is not connected properly.
• The graphics card is not inserted all the way in the slot.
• The display is not connected to the right card: There is output from the unplugged
on-board VGA or another card.
• Another card is conflicting.

ENGLISH
- 17 -
Can I install the display driver by overwriting?
No. Make sure to uninstall an existing driver before updating it or when adding/
removing cards, or changing slots, and reinstall it.
The new graphics card doesn't get recognized as new hardware.
Check the followings:
• The graphics card is not inserted all the way in the slot.
• An older version of the display driver may have been installed. Uninstall the existing
driver before installing the latest one.
• A non-NVIDIA card may be conflicting. Remove it.
• Check Device Manager. If the Other devices section shows "[!] Video Controller
(VGA compatible)," the graphics card is detected. Install it from there.
I can't install the display driver for this card when a non-NVIDIA card is installed.
Remove the non-NVIDIA card once, insert LVU2E1, install and set up the display
driver for it. Now remove it, insert the other card in another slot, install and set up a
display driver for it. Put LVU2E1 back into the slot where it was inserted.
My computer freezes at Windows Startup when restarting after driver installation.
It can happen when a non-NVIDIA card coexists. Remove it once, insert LVU2E1,
install and set up the display driver for it. Now remove it, insert the other card in
another slot, install and set up a display driver for it. Put LVU2E1 back into the slot
where it was inserted.
The screen blacks out at Windows Startup when restarting after the driver is installed.
Check if the video signal is output from another graphics card.
My computer freezes at Windows Startup when I try to add another card after setting
up this card.
Remove LVU2E1 once. Insert the other card in another slot, install and set up a driver
for it, and put this card back into the slot where it was inserted.
Do I execute Setup.exe to install the driver?
Yes. Try Setup.exe first. If it fails, follow the instructions below to reinstall the driver.
1) Uninstall the driver (see Uninstallation of this chapter.)
2) Restart the computer.
3) Insert the driver CD in the CD-ROM drive on the computer.
4) If the following screen appears, click "Cancel."

11) On the Welcome to the Found New Hardware screen, select "Install the software
automatically (Recommended)" this time and click "Next."
12) Click "Finish."
Another NVIDIA-based card does not work after the driver is installed.
Check Device Manager. If the Other devices section shows "[!] Video Controller (VGA
compatible)," the graphics card is detected. Reinstall it from there. Or reinstall it using
the Found New Hardware Wizard.
Would it be a problem to use another driver for a coexisting NVIDIA-based card?
Yes, use the same driver for it as for LVU2E1. If the other card does not work, contact
your dealer.
