Connecting Additional Power

Some All-in-Wonder® X1800 Series graphics cards require an additional
power connection. If your All-in-Wonder® graphics card requires a
separate connection to the computer’s power supply, follow these
instructions for PCIe™, as appropriate.

Note: All-in-Wonder® X1800 Series graphics cards that require
connection to the computer’s power supply will have a power cable
connected to them.

WARNING

- Remember to discharge your body’s static electricity by

touching the power supply or the metal surface of the computer
chassis.

Consult your system builder or OEM to ensure that your system has an
adequate power supply. A PCI Express® compatible system has a
specialized 12V graphics card power connector. A 450 watt or greater
power supply is recommended. Consult your computer system manual to
ensure the power supply is designed to accommodate a high-end
graphics card with a peak dissipation above 75 watts.
