Welcome
Congratulations on the purchase of your ATI Graphics
Accelerator card! Carefully complete the following
simple steps to install your new video card. Soon you
will experience the ultimate in graphics performance on
your very own computer.
Do This First!
To ensure a successful installation of your ATI Graphics
Accelerator card, you MUST do the following
BEFORE replacing your current graphics card with your
new ATI card:
Install AGP Drivers for non-Intel Chipset Based
Motherboards. Several AGP motherboard
manufacturers use non-Intel AGP chipsets. Chipsets
include those made by Acer Laboratories (ALI),
Silicon Integrated Systems (SIS), and VIA
Technologies, Inc. Each non-Intel chipset requires
the installation of a custom Virtual GART (AGP)
Driver. This driver is required by your new ATI card
to function correctly with your motherboard. It is
very important that the correct AGP driver be
installed before installing an AGP video card in your
system.
This section applies to AGP Graphic Accelerator
cards only.
An incorrect or missing GART driver can
result in AGP memory not being detected or a
black screen after Windows®loads.

2 Getting Started
How to determine what motherboard chipset is present
on your system:
1Right-click My Computer and choose Properties.
2Click the (Hardware Tab in Windows®
2000/Windows®XP) Device Manager tab then scroll to
the bottom of the device list.
3Select System Devices.
4Scroll through the list of System Devices until you find
a listing for the AGP controller.
5The chipset manufacturer’s name will appear as the
device name.
Once you have determined the chipset manufacturer for
your motherboard, obtain and then install the latest AGP
drivers from:
VIA Technologies http://www.viaarena.com
Acer Laboratories (ALI) http://www.ali.com.tw
Silicon Integrated Systems (SIS) http://www.sis.com

additional software installed, they may also need to be
removed at this point. (For example DVD Player,
Multimedia applications, etc.)

Installing Your ATI Graphics Card
You are now ready to install your card. (RADEON 9800
Series users see Installing a RADEON 9800 Series on
page 8 and 9700/9500 Series users see Installing a
RADEON 9700/9500 Series on page 6.) If you are not
sure whether your card is PCI or AGP, compare the
bottom edge of your card with the following illustration:

4Remove any existing graphics card from your
computer.
If your computer has an on-board graphics
capability, you may need to disable it on the
motherboard. For more information, see your
computer documentation.

RADEON 9700/9500 Series to the computer’s Hard
Drive power connector.
1Locate the AGP slot, if necessary, removing the
metal cover:
• Align your ATI Graphics Accelerator card with the
AGP slot.
• Press it in firmly until the card is fully seated.
2Remove the power cable from the Hard Drive power
connector.
3Connect Aof the Power Extension Cable to the
RADEON 9700/9500 Series power connector as

graphics card.)
4Connect Bto the power supply connector.
5Connect Cto the Hard Drive power connector
The RADEON 9700/9500 Series requires
connection to your PC’s internal power supply
for operation. Consult your system builder or
OEM to ensure your system has an adequate
power supply. Otherwise ATI recommends a
300 watt power supply or greater to ensure
normal system operation where a number of
other internal devices are installed.
