Trying to setup new graphics processor (NVS 315) into my HP Compaq 6005 SFF

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!

http://www.nvidia.com/download/driverResults.aspx/98068/en-us You should only need to install this driver in order for your new card to work. I couldn't find any official info on this, but you may need to disable your onboard graphics in the BIOS first. There's no reason that that card shouldn't work, unless of course there's physical damage.

Is there a way to configure the card's output to on-board VGA port

Sure, you'd just set the onboard graphics to primary in the BIOS (if it even gives you that option).
