HARDWARE INSTALLATION

2.1 Installation Instructions


The GFX 400 graphics card installation is simple and consists of
a few easy steps. These installation instructions presume that
you are familiar with the Solaris operating system.

NOTE: Remember which cables go to which connectors. You
may want to label the cables and connectors before
disconnecting them.

Step 1:

Turn your computer OFF, remove the
computer’s cover, find an available PCI Local
Bus slot, and remove the bracket and screw.
Ground yourself by touching the metal part on
the case.

Step 2:

Install the GFX 400 card firmly into the PCI
Local Bus slot. Take care to press it evenly and
snugly into the slot. Once you are certain that
the card is installed properly into the slot, secure
it with the bracket screw.

Step 3:

Secure the computer’s cover, attach any
previously removed cables, and connect the
video cable to your monitor.

The GFX 400 card supports analog or digital
displays. See Section B.4 for a description of
the parts and adapters that are available.
