LCD displays and digital CRT displays. You can also connect the Fire GL3 to highresolution MultiSync or multi-frequency monitors or other VGA monitors. To connect VGA monitors you may use the provided VGA->DVI adapters.

Note: You can use the full power of the graphics card only if your monitor supports the horizontal (kHz) and vertical (Hz) refresh rates as required by the graphics card. Refer to your monitor's documentation for recommended refresh rates.

Installing the Fire GL3 9

Where are the drivers?

♦

Windows NT 4.0 and Windows 2000 drivers are provided on the Fire GL CD.

♦

Linux drivers and installation instructions are available for downloading from www.ati.com/support.

Are you planning a

multi-monitor system?

Are you installing your

Fire GL3 in place of a card from another manufacturer?

♦

You may connect two monitors to the

Fire GL3.

♦

If DDC support is available, the respective resolution and refresh rate for each monitor is automatically detected.

Before you shut down your computer and remove the installed graphics solution , we recommend that you un-install the old card first:

♦

Use the uninstall program for your existing card, if one is available. Consult the documentation for your old card if necessary.

♦

If no uninstall program is available, install the standard VGA driver via the Display

Properties applet. For more

information refer to Setting the Display

Driver to Standard VGA.

Do you have an integrated graphics solution on the motherboard?

Please refer to the manual or contact your motherboard manufacturer to determine how to disable your on-board graphics.

Plug-n-Play?

The illustrations do not show your card?

The card has been designed to take advantage of 'plug–n-play' without requiring additional hardware installation or configuration.

The illustrations provided in this section are for instructional use only; the card shown may look different than the one you purchased.


Setting the Display Driver to Standard VGA

To avoid possible driver conflicts between your old and new graphics card, install the standard VGA driver for your operating system. Install the standard VGA driver before you shut down your computer and remove the installed (AGP, PCI, or ISA) VGA card.

Note: Installing the standard VGA driver is not required for

Windows 2000.

The applications for which you want to install drivers also have to be completely installed for Standard VGA - 640 x 480 on your system prior to using the new software. It is a good idea to do this before removing an existing graphics adapter as not every application may permit the configuration of its video mode from the operating system level.

Installing the Standard VGA Driver for Windows NT 4.0

1.

From the Start menu, go to Start > Settings > Control Panel, then double-click on Display. The Display Properties sheet appears.

2.

Click the Settings tab; then click the Display Type button.

Display window appears.

4.

Under Manufacturers, select (Standard display types). Under

Display, choose VGA compatible display adapter.

5.

Click OK. You may need to insert your Windows NT 4.0 CD-ROM.

6.

Click Close and OK as often as necessary to accept the changes.

7.

Windows asks you if you want to restart your computer. Click No.

8.

Shut down your computer. You are now ready to remove your old graphics card and install your new Fire GL3 card.


Opening the Computer Cabinet

Warning! Prevent static electric damage. Avoid touching any electronic components. Static discharge can cause severe damage to electronic equipment, but here are some easy ways to see that it doesn't happen:

⇒

Don't touch edge connectors or exposed circuitry.

⇒

If possible, ground your body. A metal power supply in your computer is generally considered the best place to ground yourself.

⇒

Make as few movements as possible to avoid building up static electricity from your clothing, carpets and furniture.

If you are disconnecting a peripheral from the computer or are removing a component from the system board, wait 10 - 20 seconds after disconnecting the computer from the electrical outlet before disconnecting the peripheral or removing the component to avoid possible damage to the system board. To verify that all power has been removed from the system, make sure that the standby power light-emitting diode (LED) on the system board has gone out.

1.

Switch off your computer and all external options (printer, display, and others) and unplug all power cables from the electrical source.

2.

Remove the cover of the computer. Refer to the instructions in your computer’s manual for more information.


Installing the Card

To install your Fire GL3 AGP card, follow these steps:

1.

Locate the AGP slot.

2.

Remove the metal slot covers from the AGP slot and the adjacent slot. Save the screws to secure the graphics card later.

3.

Hold the card by the edges and position it directly above the AGP slot. AGP cards are designed to fit one way only. Be sure your card is properly aligned.

4.

Insert your Fire GL3 card firmly into the AGP slot. Take care to press it evenly and snugly into its slot. Do not force.

5.

Align the slots in the mounting bracket of the card with the screw holes in the rear panel of the computer case. Use the screws you removed from the expansion slot covers or a previously installed video adapter to secure the card in place.


Installation in an AGP expansion slot

2 Card edge connector

3 Expansion slot

Reassembling Your Computer

1.

Secure ribbon cables and gently push them down and out of the way before you replace the system cover.

2.

Replace the computer cover.

3.

Reconnect any peripheral equipment cables you may have disconnected.


Connecting the Cables and Completing the

Installation

Connecting the Monitor Cables

Note - You may connect one or two monitors, either digital CRT / TFT-

LCD, or - via an VGA -> DVI-I adapter - analog VGA, to the Fire GL3.

If you connect only one monitor, make sure to connect it to DVI connector (1) on the card.

Securely attach the data cable of your first monitor to the DVI output connector (1) on the card. Attach the cable to the monitor according to the monitor's instructions.

Connect the data cable of your second monitor to the DVI output connector (2) on the card.

How to connect analog VGA Monitors?

If the data cable connector on your VGA monitor does not fit into the

DVI-I connector on the card, please use the VGA -> DVI-I adapter provided with your Fire GL3.


Setting the Monitor Impedance

If you can switch the impedance values on your monitor, use the following recommended settings:

R, G, B video input: 75 Ohm

Synch: 2.2 kOhm

Try other 'Synch' settings if you cannot achieve a stable video image.

If the impedance setting options are 'High' and 'Low' only, try the setting that provides the most satisfactory monitor display.

Connecting the Stereo Glasses

You need this information only if you want to use StereoGraphics’

CrystalEyes or compatible stereoviewing eyewear.

Please note that stereo glasses are optional equipment and not included in the Fire GL3 package.

Connect your stereoviewing eyewear to the 3 pin Mini-DIN stereo sync connector (3) on the card.

Note: If the connector on your stereoviewing eyewear does not fit into the Mini-DIN connector on the card, please contact your supplier or the manufacturer of the stereo glasses for information on how to obtain an adapter cable.


Start your System

Switch on your monitor before you switch on your computer. Failing to do so could damage your monitor.

If you have correctly installed the card, operating system messages will appear on your monitor when the boot procedure is finished.

Note: Your monitor is running in standard VGA mode. Higher refresh rates etc. are not available at this stage of the installation.

After you have successfully installed the Fire GL3 drivers you can

use the dialogs in the Display Properties menu to adjust the video

settings and set up a multi-monitor configuration.

Your System Does Not Start as it Should?

♦

Check again to verify that the installation instructions were properly followed.

♦

Check that the system BIOS has assigned a system interrupt to the

AGP slot where the card is installed.

⇒

Check the system configuration utility of your operating system for the interrupt assignments.

⇒

Inspect your system BIOS setup for an option that says "Assign

IRQ to VGA" or something similar and ensure that this option is enabled.

♦

Some older ISA legacy add-in cards (with jumpers, non-Plug-n-

Play) may cause a conflict if they are not configured in the ESCD

(extended system configuration data) area of the system BIOS.

Please refer to your computer’s User’s Guide for information on using the ISA Configuration Utility (ICU) to add legacy card resource requirements to the system.

♦

Please refer to the Troubleshooting section for more information, if it

appears that the card is not performing optimally.

3.

Gamma Correction Adjustment: Adjust the monitor's gamma correction for optimal brightness with the red, green and blue slider bars.

When these sliders are changed the gamma correction table modifies each pixel's color value.

The brightness produced at the face of the display is proportional to the input voltage raised to the power gamma. This nonlinearity must be compensated to achieve correct reproduction of the image's brightness. The effect of display gamma is to darken the midtones relative to the dark and light regions. The gamma correction adjustment affects the entire screen display. The possible setting range is 0.3 - 4.0. The default setting is 1.0.

With Link sliders selected, the three sliders move together as you drag any individual slider. With the check box unchecked, you can adjust colors individually by dragging the applicable slider.

Click the >1< button - for each color - to set the gamma correction to the default value of 1.0.

FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions and their answers may be found at the web sites of ATI Inc. Go to www.ati.com and select Support.

No image appears on monitor when computer system is turned on

♦

Make sure that the Fire GL3 is firmly seated and lined up properly in its AGP slot, and that the monitor cable is firmly and correctly connected to the card. For more information, please refer to

Installing the Hardware

.

♦

Make sure that your computer and monitor are plugged into electrical outlets and receiving power.

♦

Is the monitor turned on and receiving power?

Troubleshooting 39

Screen image defects appear

Check if your monitor supports the resolution, horizontal (kHz) and vertical (Hz) refresh rates as required by the graphics card.

Check for your current resolution, refresh rate, and color depth settings in the

Settings

and Monitor dialogs of the Display

Properties

.

Warning! Be sure that both video card and monitor support resolution and refresh rates you select. Incompatible resolution/refresh rate selection may result in monitor damage. Refer to your monitor's documentation for recommended resolutions and refresh rates.

Screen image is off-center, color balance is wrong, or there is no picture

♦

Try adjusting the brightness, sharpness, contrast, and color balance controls of your monitor.

♦

Try adjusting the centering and positioning controls of your monitor to position the picture on the screen.

Note: The Monitor Tuning settings in Display Properties >

Adjustment tune the position of the picture on the screen via the video signal.

♦

Set the monitor’s RGB inputs (and sync switches, if this option is available) to 75 Ohms, with the sync set to external.

Operating system warns that the video card is not configured properly

♦

Check the driver installation and make sure that all software is correctly loaded corresponding to your operating system and

applications. For more information, please see

Installing the

Software .

♦

Set Windows back to ‘Standard VGA’ and re-install the Fire GL3 drivers.

40 Troubleshooting

Checking for address and interrupt conflicts

♦

It is necessary to ensure that the I/O and memory addresses reserved for the graphics board are not used by other hardware devices.

♦

The integrated on-board VGA controller of your Fire GL3 uses the following addresses (hex):

I/O Address

Standard VGA I/O: 3B0-3DF

Memory Addresses:

Video RAM: A000-BFFF

Video ROM: C000-C7FF

Note: You cannot change the addresses of your Fire GL3. In case of an address conflict, try to modify the I/O address of the add-on card that causes the conflict.

Resolving Interrupt Conflicts

To support the special graphics processor on the Fire GL3 the system

BIOS should automatically assign a system interrupt to the AGP slot where the card is installed. However, there may be problems if your graphics card does not receive an interrupt or a system interrupt is used for more than one device. In case of problems try the following:

♦

Check the system configuration utility of your operating system for the interrupt assignments.

♦

Inspect your system BIOS setup for an option that says "Assign

IRQ to VGA" or something similar and ensure that this option is enabled. If you do not have this option and your graphics card does not receive an interrupt, contact your motherboard manufacturer for an updated BIOS that has this option.

♦

Some older ISA legacy add-in cards (with jumpers, non-PnP) may cause a conflict if they are not configured in the ESCD (extended system configuration data) area of the system BIOS. Please refer to your computer’s User’s Guide for information on using the ISA

Configuration Utility (ICU) to add the required legacy card resources to the system.
