Please read this file before proceeding with the installation. GENERAL INFO for WIN95 NEW INSTALLATIONS: - In order to match your mach64 products to your monitor and to your system configuration, you must install the "ATI DESKTOP" page by following the instructions outlined in section 3.0 below. The "Adjustment" page will allow you to customize your monitor timing such as refresh rate and screen centering. - WIN95 Setting Page also allows you to select the "monitor type". You can pick your monitor manufacturer and model number. The ATI Display Driver will read the timing information from the INF file and setup the appropriate timings.. 2.0 Adapter Installation The adapter installation requires a step by step methodical approach to ensure that the adapter does not conflict with other system resources and to ensure optimal performance. The following technical information is a basic outline of the steps required to install a mach64 graphics adapter. 1) Upon removing the mach64/Rage II card from the box, record in your User's Guide, the serial number (found on the non-component side of the card) and the BIOS version (located on a white label on a plug-in BIOS chip on the component side of the card). The serial number will be helpful if you require ATI Customer Support and will also be required to complete the Warranty Form. 2) The following port addresses are used by the VGA controller: 102, 1CE, 1CF, 2EC-2EF, 3?4, 3?5, 3?8, 3?9, 3?A, 3?B, 3DC and all aliases. ( ?=B for monochrome, ?=D for color operations) Check the system hardware for internal modems, FAX cards or LAN cards which may be using addresses any I/O address used by the mach64/Rage II. Also ensure that LAN cards, scanner cards and other peripheral adapters are not using upper memory addresses between C000 and C7FF. If you have a system containing an on-board graphics controller, consult your owners manual on how to disable it. Check and record how much system memory is installed on the system motherboard. Check and record how much system memory is installed on the system motherboard. 3) After powering down your system, remove your old graphics adapter (or disable the on-board graphics controller) and plug-in the mach64/Rage II. If the system fails to produce text on the monitor, return to Step 2 and re-check the installed hardware for address conflicts. If no obvious conflicts are present, carefully remove all non- essential peripheral adapters (scanner, FAX/modem, audio, CD ROM cards, etc.) to determine the nature of the conflict. As a last resort, if possible, see if the card works in a different system. 4) Once the system has properly booted, your mach64/Rage II is ready to run. 3.0 Installation Notes for Windows 95 Display Driver You need to install ATI's mach64 enhanced driver for Windows 95 to take advantage of you card's higher performance, resolutions, and special features not available using the standard VGA display driver.
