IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

•Read Instructions - All the safety and operating instructions should

be read before the product is operated.

•Retain Instructions - The safety and operating instructions should

be retained for future reference.

•Heed Warnings - All warnings on the product and the operating

instructions should be adhered to.

•Compatibility - This option card is for use only with IBM AT or

compatible UL Listed personal computers that have Installation

Instructions detailing user installation of card cage accessories.

•Grounding - For continued protection against risk of electric shock

and fire, this accessory should be installed only in products equipped

with a three-wire grounding plug, a plug having a third (grounding)

pin. This plug will only fit into a grounding-type power outlet. This is a

safety feature. If you are unable to insert the plug into the outlet,

contact your electrician to replace the obsolete outlet. Do not defeat

the safety purpose of the grounding-type plug.

•Secure Attachment

- All card securement pins shall be completely

tightened as to provide continuous bonding between the option card

and the PC chassis.

•Outdoor Antenna Grounding - Since an outdoor antenna or cable

system is connected to the product, be sure that the antenna or cable

system is grounded so as to provide some protection against voltage

surges and built-up static charges. Article 810 of the National

Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70, provides information with regard to

proper grounding of the mast and supporting structure, grounding of

the lead-in wire to the antenna discharge unit, size of grounding

conductors, location of antenna-discharge unit, connection of

grounding electrodes, and requirements for the grounding electrode.

•Lightning - For added protection for this product during a lightning

storm, or when it is left unattended and unused for long periods of

time, unplug it from the wall outlet, and disconnect the antenna or

cable system. This will prevent damage to the product due to

lightning and power-line surges.

•Power Lines - An outside antenna system should not be located in

the vicinity of overhead power lines or other light or power circuits, or

where it can fall into such power lines or circuits.

•Antenna Installation - When installing an outside antenna system,

extreme care should be taken to keep from touching such power lines

or circuits, as contact with them may be fatal.

•Note to CATV System Installer - This reminder is provided to call

the CATV systems installer’s attention to Section 820-40 of the NEC,

which provides guidelines for proper grounding and, in particular,

specifies that the cable ground shall be connected to the grounding

system of the building, as close to the point of cable entry as

practical.

into the DVI-I connector, then plug your monitor cable into the

adapter.

DVI-I-to-VGA Adapter.

Note: If you use multiple monitors, the RADEON™ X300 card must

be the primary graphics card. Normally, the system BIOS determines

which graphics card will be the primary.

To connect your monitors

1Power off your computer and monitors.

2Plug the monitor cables into their appropriate connectors.

3Power on your monitors first, and then restart your computer so that

Windows® can detect the new hardware settings.
