Replacing RealiZm II Cards or the Optional

Geometry Accelerator Card

An installed ZX13, VX25, or ZX25 card requires two adjacent PCI slots.  An installed VX113

card requires one PCI slot.  An installed VX113 AGP card requires one AGP slot.  An

installed optional Geometry Accelerator card requires one PCI slot.

NOTE

The VX113 and VX113 AGP do not have the plastic shroud shown in the illustrations in the

following procedure.  However, the card and cable installation is the same as for the other

RealiZm II cards.

To replace a RealiZm II or optional Geometry Accelerator card:

1.  Shut down the system and turn off system power.

2.  Disconnect the cables from the video ports on the back of the system base unit.

3.  Open the system base unit as required to gain access to the slots.

4.  If a Geometry Accelerator card is already installed in a single-screen configuration,

disconnect the vertex data bus cable between it and the RealiZm II card(s).  The following

figure shows one RealiZm II card.

If a Geometry Accelerator card is already installed in a multiple-screen configuration,

disconnect the vertex data bus cable between it and the RealiZm II cards; then disconnect

the clock sync cable between the RealiZm II cards.
