Be sure to tighten all cable screws.

Route all wiring and cabling away from heat sources and sharp metal edges to avoid damage. Also, keep the touch sensor cable away from sources of electromagnetic and radio frequency interference.

Installing the Video Card and Video Driver

Before you can connect your touch display, make sure your computer has a video card already installed for the display. After you connect the display, you need to install the video software driver. The video driver is supplied by the video card manufacturer and may be found on the CD that came with your computer. If you need information on installing a video card or video driver, refer to the manual that came with your video card.
