BIOS Access and VGA Output
Accessing the
BIOS
This section shows how to access the M1032W BIOS. It assumes the BIOS is set to the default video
configuration, which sends video to the off-board, add-on video card. Before performing these steps, note the
MAC address of the PCoIP host card in the workstation to which you are connecting.
Step
Action
1
Connect a zero client to a network switch on the same subnet as the M1032W
workstation. (See your zero client’s
Quick Start Guide
for more information about setting
up your zero client.)
2
Connect a keyboard to the rear of the workstation.
3
Power on the workstation. Press the
DELETE
key for approximate 35 seconds to enter
BIOS setup.
4
From the zero client’s on-screen display, click
Connect
.
5
When the zero client shows the discovered PCoIP host cards, select the
MAC address
of the
host card in the workstation, and then click
OK
. When the zero client establishes a PCoIP
session, it displays the BIOS setup screen.
The section below shows how to change the workstation’s VGA output setting so you can connect a local
VGA monitor.
Enabling VGA
output
The M-Series Engineering Workstation BIOS includes two options for VGA video output:
onboard
(which sends
video to the onboard VGA adapter and rear VGA port) and
offboard
(which sends video to the add-on video card,
or GPU). The default VGA setting is offboard, which sends video to the add-on video card.
The table below shows how to change the VGA Priority setting so users can view video from a locally-connected
VGA monitor.
Step
Action
1
Begin by accessing the BIOS as shown in “
” above. After accessing the
BIOS, continue by performing the steps below.
2
From the BIOS setup screen, use the keyboard arrow keys to select the
Advanced
tab.
3
Select
PCIe/PCI/PnP Configuration
and press the
ENTER
key.
4
Select
VGA Priority
and press the
ENTER
key.
5
Select
Onboard
and press the
ENTER
key.
6
Press the
F4
key to save your changes and exit. Select
Yes
and then press
ENTER
.
If installed, the workstation boots to the installed operating system.
7
Connect a VGA monitor to the rear of the workstation. You can now view video from the
connected VGA monitor.
More local
management
options
Note that for local management, you can connect a USB keyboard and mouse to the workstation, remove the
video cable connecting the PCoIP Host Card and the GPU on the rear of the workstation, and connect a monitor
directly to the GPU.
