Software/Devices/Network/RAID Array
Setting-Up the Network
In the majority of environments, it is sufficient to use the Windows XP defaults for the network. Simply
connect the network cable (Figure 3-1) and the system should auto-detect the presence of the
network and the data/communications light next to the network cable connector should start to flash.
Figure 3-1. Connecting the network cable
The easiest way to test your network connection is to invoke your web browser and visit a website
such as
www.MaxVision.com
. In the event of any problems or special requirements, you should first
consult your on-site IT representative (if the problems persist, contact MaxVision support as
discussed in
Appendix D
).
Setting-Up the Graphics
When you receive your MacPac dual/triple-screen X-Class system, you will find that the graphics
subsystem has been pre-installed with the following (recommended) characteristics:
•
Color Quality:
Highest (32-bit)
•
Resolution:
1, 2, or 3 x 20.1” displays: 1600 x 1200
Irrespective of the configuration, the graphics on your system will have been custom pre-configured to
suite your particular requirements.
MaxPac systems are available with a variety of different graphics cards depending on your unique
application. The standard configuration for a triple-screen system, for example, is to have the center
and right-hand displays controlled by a PCI Express-based NVIDIA Quadro FX4500 graphics card,
while the left-hand display and projector port are controlled by a second PCI Express-based NVIDIA
Quadro FX-series board.
Note:
OpenGL™ acceleration is now available all displays controlled by the PCI Express-based
NVIDIA Quadro FX series controllers. This allows the user to run applications requiring OpenGL
acceleration on all displays as long as all are controlled by the same NVIDIA Graphics driver.
