Installation Instructions
The Condor 3000 Series graphics card installation is simple and consists of a few easy steps.
Step 1:
Shut down the system and turn the power OFF. Remove the single board computer. Be
mindful of ESD, and be sure to use proper ESD precautions.
Step 2:
Install the Condor 3000 Series graphics card in a XMC site using the provided mounting
hardware. Attach the Condor graphics card to the PMC/XMC connectors and screw down
the standoffs. For a conduction cooled board, the SBC company should have provided
mounting screws. Note that Thermal gap-pad material can be installed inbetween the
condor card and the SBC heatsink to help with cooling.
Step 3:
Re-install the single board computer, attach any previously removed cables and connect
a video cable from the Condor outputs to a monitor.
The Condor 3000 Series graphics card is now installed and the system is ready for display driver
installation.
