1. Introduction

Video-117PCI-16 and Video-117PCI-32 are based on Trident Blade

T16/T64 (9970) Graphics Processor with PCI bus and DVD

playback. With 128-bit memory bus at 143 MHz clock on PCI bus

aggregation, the performance of these multimedia accelerators are

beneficial to brings the DVD playback in real-time and the high density

video formal expression at high pixel rate up to 286 million per

second, and that is biggest unparalleled cost/performance graphics

solution for today’s desktop application.

The most payoff on Trident Blade T16/T64 (9970) is that integrates

the advanced 2D/3D Graphics engine, which capable of supporting

with DVD, video, and digital TV into a single chip solution. The

overlying combines highly evolved per pixel 3D graphics engine setup

and rendering with 2D graphical user interface (GUI) acceleration can

blend the high speed low latency access on 128-bit totally. Taking

expediency of Direct Memory Access (DMA) to retrieve textures from

main memory, textures are no longer limited by local memory.

Trident Hardware Assisted MPEG-2 Architecture (THAMA™) enables

DVD playback support to the multimedia PC. Compared to software

only DVD players, the combination of software based decode and

hardware based motion compensation delivers smooth frame rates

without overloading the processor, requires no extra frame buffer and

minimum PCI Bus bandwidth.

For maximum throughput, the Video-117PCI-16 & Video-117PCI-32

are use PCI bus interface that supports at up to 1.06 GByte per second

transfer rate. Furthermore, Video-117PCI-16 & Video-117PCI-32 are

subsistence Microsoft graphics standard - DirectX 7.0 Cubic mapping,

and PC2001 compliant.

6. Hardware installation

6.1 Installation Procedures

!! WARNING !!

Discharge static electricity by

touching the GROUND such as

metal part of your case connected

with good power ground before

you handle the electronic circuit

boards.

The manufacturer assumes no liability for any damage, caused

directly or indirectly, by improper installation of any components by

unauthorized service personnel. If you do not feel comfortable

performing the installation, consult with a qualified computer

technician.

12

6.2 Steps:

1. Turn OFF all powers to your system, including any

peripherals (printer, external drives, modem, etc.).

2. Disconnect the power cord and the monitor cable from the

back of the computer.

3. Unfasten the cover mounting screws on your system and

remove the system cover. Refer to your system user manual

for instructions to determine the location of the mounting

screws.

4. Remove any graphics adapter that already installed on your

motherboard. Start by removing the screw that holds the

adapter retaining bracket in place (keep this screw, you will

need it later). Then, gently pull straight up on the adapter card

itself, and remove it from the motherboard.

5. Refer to your computer system manual for the location of the

PCI bus expansion slots. Remove the retaining screw that

holds the slot cover in place. Slide the slot cover out and put

the screw aside (you will need it to secure the adapter).

If you just removed an existing graphics adapter and are not

going to use that expansion slot, you can install the slot cover

you just removed from the unused expansion slot to cover the

open hole.

6. To install the adapter in the selected expansion slot, carefully

line up the gold-fingered edge connector on the adapter

directly above the expansion slot connector on the

motherboard. Then press the adapter into place, completely,

with necessary but minimum pressure. DO NOT USE

excessive force. Use the (remaining) screw you removed to

secure the adapter retaining bracket in place.

7. Replace the computer cover. Secure the cover with the

mounting screws you removed in Step 3.

You have now completed the installation of your new graphics adapter

on your system.

7. Software Installation

7.1 ÿÿ Microsoft Windows®98 / Me

Start Windows with VGA or SVGA drive detected. Insert the software’s CD

into your CD-ROM drive (e.g. X:). Typically, D: or E: drive, etc.

13

1. Autorun feature pops-up “Welcome” screen from software’s CD, click on

the "Display Driver" selectable text to start installation.

14

2. Tab to “Settings” screen, then click on “ Advance” button.

15

3. Click on “Next” button with [Advanced] selectable option.

16

4. You may proceed the search wizard with “Display a list of all the driver in

a specific location, so you can select the driver you want.” option, then

click on “Next” button.

5. Click on “Have Disk…” button to continue.

17

6. You may type E:\V-117\Win9x into the dialog box as shown above, or

browse on CD, unfold these folders; and click on “OK”. (If E is not your

CD-ROM drive , substitute E with the correct drive letter.)

7. Wizard has selected “Video-117PCI (Trident Blade T16/T64)” then

press on “OK” button.

18

8. Windows is ready to install the driver for your hardware from CD-ROM

drive, please click on “Next” to do so.

9. Windows system transmit all files to your local hard disk drive, please wait

until the process is over.

19

10. Click on “Finish” to complete the driver installation.

7.1.1 ÿÿ MICROSOFT WINDOWS NT™4.0

Windows NT dose not identify the new PCI video adapter, and

always placed a default VGA video setting when system boots up.

To maximum the video board acceleration and performance, you

should install the video driver that is provide from video adapter

manufacturer. Please insert the software CD into your CD-ROM

drive after your desktop fully loaded with default video settings.
