If you have a Kaleido-X (4RU) without a KXA-GPI-GEN card, then you will find the fan and power supply
statuses listed with the master output card’s information:
Obtaining EDID Data From Display Screens When Using the DXF-100 Interface
The DXF-100 is a transmitter/receiver combination that allows a digital flat panel display to be located up
to 1,000 meters (3,300 feet) away from the signal source. The transmitter and receiver are interconnected
by a single multimode optical fiber, and connect to the source and display using DVI connectors.
The DXF-100 must be configured for its target display, before it is connected to the Kaleido-X, otherwise
the Extended display identification data (EDID) information listed in XAdmin’s Status and Options page
for the corresponding output card will not reflect the actual values for the target display. XAdmin would
not be reporting the actual timing data from the display, but default values corresponding to the
maximum resolution supported by the DXF-100, i.e. 1920×1200. The DXF-100 interface is unidirectional
from the transmitter (Kaleido-X) to the receiver (display). For XAdmin to show timing data from the
display, the EDID information needs to be transmitted in the reverse direction: from the display to the
Kaleido-X.
