Before installing Cintiq, make sure your computer meets the following system requirements:

■Macintosh. OS 9 or 10.1 and higher. DVI or VGA video connector, available USB port, and CD-ROM drive. ADC connectors require an ADC to DVI-D adaptor (not included).

■PC. Windows 98, Me, 2000, or XP. DVI or VGA video connector, available USB or serial port, and CD-ROM drive.

■SGI and Sun workstations. Additional purchase of Wacom UNIX kit. IRIX 6.5 or later for SGI. Solaris 2.6 or later for Sun. DVI or VGA video connector, available serial port, and CD-ROM drive.

Cintiq supports both digital (DVI) and analog (VGA) video signals. By using the VGA to DVI-I adaptor, you can connect Cintiq to a VGA video card. However, connecting Cintiq to a DVI video card generally results in optimum performance because a digital video signal will display a better image and exhibit less cursor lag on the screen.

If you plan to install a video card with digital output, complete the video card hardware and software installation before connecting Cintiq. If you have another display that is compatible with your video card, you can connect that display to the card in order to verify that the video card is operating correctly. For information on digital video cards that have been tested with Cintiq, refer to Wacom’s Web site at http://www.wacom.com/cintiq

There are two primary steps to the installation process:

■Step 1: LCD Display Installation

■Step 2: Tablet Installation

Be sure to follow ALL installation instructions carefully. Failure to do so may cause damage to Cintiq or to the video card in your computer.
