Please switch on your monitor before you switch on your computer. Doing it the other way around could damage your monitor.
The SPEA board has been designed to 'plug & play' without any modifications being made to the default switch or jumper settings.
Note that your monitor is running in standard modes and that higher refresh rates etc. are not available at this stage of the installation! It is necessary to run the program V7SETUP.EXE (for Windows) in order to optimize the board's output signals for use with specific monitors. These programs are described further on in this manual.
Hardware Compatibility: the PCI Bus and the Graphics Board
The functionality of a graphics system depends mainly on two components: the graphics board and the mainboard.
If the design of the PCI mainboard is not compliant with the approved PCI specifications you may experience problems with the graphics board.
SPEA has successfully tested the SPEA graphics boards in a PCI bus mainboard with a clock rate of 66 Mhz.
