Installing the Video Adapter
If you are updating a single monitor Blade (i.e., one equipped with a GeForce2 MX
graphics adapter) to add multi-video functionality, follow the steps below. If you
ordered your multi-video system pre-configured, see Software Installation and
Configuration on page 95.
NOTE: ClearCube is not responsible for damage caused to either video card
adapters or PC Blades due to improper customer installation. Both the video
adapter cards and PC Blades contain parts sensitive to electrostatic
discharge. The customer must use industry-accepted practices to ensure the
person(s) handling the equipment is properly grounded during the installation.
ClearCube can provide custom Professional Services upgrade packages. Please
contact your Account Manager for details.
1. Power down the Blade and remove the single-monitor video adapter. First raise
an edge of the adapter board by applying firm pressure to a corner of the board.
Then use a gentle, upward rocking motion to free the board from the connectors
on the Blade.
2. Install the Quadro4 video adapter. Verify all the connector pins are aligned
correctly BEFORE applying any downward pressure to seat the adapter card.
3. Power up the Blade and click Cancel when prompted by the New Hardware
Wizard to install software. The Software Installation and Configuration section on
page 95 describes installing the appropriate video driver.
Installing the MVX
Install the MVX at the user’s desktop. The MVX and the C/Port share the same
footprint and case styling, and can be placed one on top of the other. The MVX has its
own power supply separate from the C/Port. The C/Port must be revision D1 or
higher, as indicated by the label on the bottom of the C/Port. Figure 45 shows how the
MVX should be connected to the output of the C/Port and to the monitors.
The actual monitor connections are accomplished by video splitter cables that have
an LFH-60 connector on one end and two monitor connectors on the other. Note that
each splitter cable has either two DB-15 or two DVI-I connectors. The DVI-I cable is
an integrated connector that works with both analog input and digital input monitors.
