Simply just plugging it in didn't do it. When i turned on the power, monitor didn't pick up any signal.

Product Name: HP Compaq 6005 Pro SFF PC
--Model#: SP945UC
--250w PSU
--PCIe x16 slot, max power consumption - 25w
--Integrated graphics: ATI Radeon HD 4200
--Windows 7 Home Premium (x64)
--BIOS is up-to-date (HP 786G6 V01.17)

(trying to install)Dedicated graphics processor: NVIDIA NVS 315
--Mem. size: 1GB(?)
--PCIe x16
--MPN: E1C65AA
--Max power consumption: 19.5w

I'm waiting on a DMS-59 - VGA adapter to arrive. Currently my monitor is plugged into on-board VGA port.
Do I need my display connected to NVS 315's 59-pin port?

I've just uninstalled the ATI drivers (not the "Standard VGA Graphics Adapter" listing in 'Control Panel'>'Device Manager'>'Display Adapters').
From here, what steps do I take to set up the NVS 315 card?


THANKS IN ADVANCE!
