2.) GigaHUB® itself - a small desktop receiver unit with GigaST)R receiver, built-in USB hub for up to 4 devices and one DVI-D interface for flat-panel monitor connection.

A variation on the theme is with the professional solution comprising the GigaCHAMPION and an embedded version of the GigaHUB which is mounted behind an OEM TFT panel.

1.1Getting Started

1.10Preparing Your Computer

Turn off the power to your system and discharge your body’s static electric charge by touching a grounded surface - for example, the metal surface of the power supply - before performing any hardware procedure.

The manufacturer assumes no liability for any damage, caused directly or indirectly, by improper installation of any components by unauthorized service personnel. If you do not feel comfortable performing the installation, consult a qualified computer technician.

Damage to system components, the accelerator card, and injury to yourself may result if power is applied during installation.

Note:

Before installing your PCI

GigaCHAMPION we recommend that you first de-install the driver for your current video card and reconfigure your operating system to use the standard display driver (VGA) supplied with your operating system. For more information about changing to the VGA driver, refer to your operating system documentation.
