12 Installing the Hardware and Software

4Remove any existing graphics card from your computer.

If your computer has an on-board graphics capability, you may need to disable it on the motherboard. For more information, see your computer documentation or contact the manufacturer.

Power connection requirements

The ALL-IN-WONDER 9700 Series cards require connection to your PC’s internal power supply for operation. A 300W power supply or greater is recommended to ensure normal system operation where a number of other internal devices are installed.

Please check the sticker on your power supply to determine the wattage.

After removing the old video card and software, refer to the illustration on page 13, and use the supplied Power Extension Cable to connect the ALL-IN-WONDER 9700 Series card to your computer’s Hard Drive power connector.

1Remove the power cable from the Hard Drive, then connect A of the Power Extension Cable to the graphics card power connector as shown. (The cable may already be connected to the graphics card.)

2Connect B to the power supply connector, then connect C to the Hard Drive power connector.

3After locating the AGP slot, and if necessary, removing the metal cover, align your ALL-IN-WONDER 9700 Series card with the AGP slot, and press it in firmly until the card is fully seated.

4Replace the screw to fasten the card in place, and replace the computer cover.

5Plug the monitor cable into your card.
