Introduction
Prerequisites
ACE software bundle, you need to update your operating system software before
installing your graphics card. Contact your designated service representative for
information on receiving an update. The ACE software bundles and Quality Packs
are also available for downloading from the http://software.hp.com website. The
bundles will require approximately 133 Mb of disk space.
Your workstation must have either an HP-supported monitor running at 75 Hz with
a 1280 X 1024 resolution, or a full multi-mode color monitor. Monitors with Enhanced
Video Connector (EVC), D-Sub connector, or 5 BNC connectors (RGB, vertical sync,
horizontal sync) will work.
The HP V
ISUALIZE fxe graphics card will not function with older HP monitor types
that use a sync on green signal. This includes monitors such as the HP 1097A/B/ C/D,
A2088A, and A2828A/B which only have 3 RGB connectors.
See your workstation Owner's Guide for information on using the /opt/graphics/
common/bin/setmon command to produce a list of supported monitors for your
workstation, such as the following sample list:
NOTE
Your list of monitors may differ from the list shown above, depending on
your workstation’s setup.
You may also need the following adapter to connect your graphics card’s D-Sub
connector to an Enhanced Video Connector (EVC) monitor’s receptacle connection:
