The following instructions describe how to install the
Pyramid3D TR25202 board:

1) You should already have the following hardware items: the Pyramid3D
TR25202 board and the VGA pass-through cable.

2) Take the Pyramid3D board and plug it into a PCI slot on the PC
motherboard.

3) Use the pass-through cable to hook up the Pyramid3D board’s VGA
pass-through connector to your VGA card’s VGA output connector, making sure
to connect the other end to the Pyramid3D board’s VGA connector that is
closest to the PC motherboard. Hook your monitor cable to Pyramid3D
output which is farthest away from the PC motherboard.

4) If you do not want to use the VGA pass-through cable, you must use
two CRT monitors. One monitor connects to the VGA output connector of your
VGA card and the other monitor connects to the VGA output connector of the
Pyramid3D board. For the Pyramid3D board, please make sure that you are
using the VGA connector that is farthest away from the PC motherboard.

5) Power up your system.

6) Please read the readme.txt file.

7) For support please email 3dsupport@tmiinc.com
