3D Video Card

[Cherrie Cachat]

I am attempting to install a 3d video card into a proliant 800 and having no luck. Each it is put into the slot and booted I get absolutely no video output at all. Any Suggestions?

What kind of Proliant 800 is it (Pentium Pro or Pentium 2)? The P-Pro's came with a seperate video card, the P2's were embedded.

If it was the latter (Pentium 2) you will have to disable the onboard video (Switch 1 - toggle 1 to ON). Page 7 has a good diagram http://h71025.www7.hp.com/support/reference_library/viewdocument.asp?countrycode=1000&prodid=28&source=313656-001.xml&dt=13&docid=7679

it should also be pictured on the inside of the side panel.

Also, what kind of card is it?

Did you try disabling the embedded video? Assuming the server is a PII or PIII server: this will be switch #1 in the switch bank on the front edge of the system bd, next to the slot for PPM #2.
This switch should be in the "on" position to disable the embedded video.
