Using the S VGA Feature Connector

Your computer includes an alternate SVGA interface (feature

connector) on the main system board. If you install a

high-resolution graphics or a full-motion, multimedia adapter

card in one of the computer’s option slots, this connector allows

you to access the standard SVGA signals provided by your

system circuitry.

Typically, high-resolution graphics adapter cards increase the

graphics processing performance of your VGA or SVGA

monitor and provide resolutions of more than 1024 x 768. They

are useful for high-end graphics applications such as

AutoCAD

or Windows.

Note

Your system must have 1MB video memory before you can

use a high-end graphics card. See “Increasing the Video

Memory ” on p age 4-20 for information.

To connect the adapter card interface to the SVGA feature

connector on your main system board, locate the SVGA feature

cable included with your option card. Then follow these steps:

If you have not already done so, follow the instructions on

page 4-15 (“Installing an Option Card”) to install the

graphics adapter card in your computer.
