================
1.1 General Information
-----------------------
IMPORTANT!
Read this README file and all the documentation
supplied BEFORE you continue the installation.
These documents contain useful information that will help you
complete the install procedure as quickly and easily as possible.
Please be aware that you can use the full power of the Diamond
FIRE GL 4000 only if the other components of your system,
especially the graphic monitor that is being used, fully comply
to the specifications for the Diamond FIRE GL 4000.
(For example : You cannot use the 1280x1024 resolution that is
supported by the FIRE GL 4000 with a monitor supporting
only resolutions up to 1024x768).
Dualscreen:
Dualscreen Hardware Support is only available with the Fire GL 2000
and 3000.
1.2 System preparation
======================
Follow these steps before beginning the installation procedure:
1) If you are upgrading the graphics card in your system,
return the display adapter settings back to 'Standard VGA',
then remove the graphics card to be replaced from your PC.
2) Check the jumper settings on the card prior to installation
in the PC. Your board is shipped with the following jumper
settings as seen from the front:
┌─┐

3 │■│
└─┘
Refer to the online user's manual or printed documentation
(if applicable) for a detailed description.
3) Follow the hardware installation instructions provided with
your card before beginning the software installation.
If you plan on installing Diamond Autocad productivity tools
( BigFocus and 3D-Win ), make sure that AutoCAD release 13 or
higher is correctly installed first.

3D acceleration is provided when running Windows 95.
Drivers for the onboard Cirrus logic controller are delivered
along with the Windows 95 operating system. Follow the
instructions provided to install the drivers for the Cirrus
Logic controller.
