Additional Installation Instructions


Always switch the monitor on before the PC in order to avoid possible damage to the monitor.

The SPEA board has been designed to 'plug & play' without any modifications being made to the switch or jumper settings. If it appears that the card is not performing optimally, you can change the settings using the utility software described in this manual (see Part 3).

Hardware Compatibility: the VL/PCI Bus and the Graphics Board

The functionality of a graphics system depends mainly on two components: the graphics board and the mainboard.
If either the design of the VL bus or the PCI mainboard is not compliant with the approved VESA or PCI specifications you may experience problems with the graphics board.

SPEA has successfully tested the SPEA VL bus graphics boards in VL bus mainboard with a clock rate of 40 MHz and PCI bus mainboards with a clock rate of 66 Mhz.
