To connect a VGA monitor:

1. Connect the monitor’s 15-pin VGA connector to the VGA end (see Figure 4) of the DVI-

Analog adapter.

2. Connect the DVI-I end of the adapter (see Figure 4) to the DVI-I port on the Intense3D

Wildcat 4210 video card. If you are connecting only one monitor, connect to the primary
DVI-I Port as show in Figure 3.

3. Turn on power to the workstation. If the monitor’s Power On LED does not illuminate or

the monitor does not display the startup sequence, consult Chapter 4, “Troubleshooting.”

NOTE:

If your monitor does not have a built-in video cable, use a shielded video cable with either a
DVI-I receptacle or a 15-pin VGA video connector (with adapter) at one end for the video
output port on the card, and the appropriate connectors at the other end for the video input port
on the monitor. See the documentation delivered with your monitor for more information.

NOTE:

If you installed the video card yourself, the computer will boot into VGA mode. Go to “Installing
the Software” in this chapter for instructions on installing the video drivers.

NOTE:

See “Connecting a Stereo Display Device” in this chapter for instructions on connecting other
devices to the video card.

NOTE:

If you ordered the Intense3D Wildcat 4210 video card with a system, it was installed and
configured prior to shipment. See Chapter 3, “Using the Video Card," for instructions on
adjusting the resolution, color depth, and refresh rate.

Installing the Software

If you received your Intense3D Wildcat 4210 video card with a system, the graphics drivers were installed
prior to shipment. This section only applies if you purchased your Intense3D Wildcat 4210 video card as an
upgrade, are reinstalling the driver, or are updating the operating system to Microsoft Windows 2000.
