Installation
This section deals with installing XtremeVision-Pro+ cards and spreading the Windows desktop across all the screens. If
you are intending to use the XtremeVision-Pro+ cards with other EMS products, you should follow this section to get the
Windows desktop working correctly first.
System Requirements
•
A Pentium PCI Express bus computer with sufficient free PCIe slots.
•
At least 2GB of RAM, up to 8Gb for multiple cards
•
Support for Windows® 10 or Windows 7®
Unpacking
Your packing box should contain the following items:
•
The XtremeVision-Pro+ PCIe plug-in card.
•
4 x DVI Adapters (XtremeVision-Pro+/DVI only)
•
4 x HDMI Adapters (XtremeVision-Pro+/HDMI only)
It is recommended that all XtremeVision-Pro+ cards and any XtremeVision-Pro+ cards are installed in the system prior to
installing the drivers. Otherwise as cards are installed the drivers may need to be reinstalled as the card’s PCI bus numbers
change.
Note:
All plug-in cards are static sensitive and packed in antistatic materials. Please keep the card in its packaging until you are
ready to install.
It is recommended that you do not discard the packing box until you are completely satisfied with the XtremeVision-Pro+
card, and it is fully installed and working correctly. We also recommend that you make note of the serial number of the
card in a prominent place before you plug the card into the computer. This should hasten any query should you need to
contact us
Technical Support Department. The serial number is displayed on the card and the box label.
•
Power down the PC (including peripherals), switch off at the mains and disconnect all the cables connected to the
computer, noting the positions for accurate reconnection. Remove the PC cover.
•
Locate a vacant PCIe slot for the XtremeVision-Pro+ on the motherboard and remove the backing plate (retain all screws).
•
Remove the card from its packaging and secure it firmly into the empty PCIe slot. Extreme care should be taken when
securing the card into the slot as some motherboards may have components that impede the siting of the card.
Screw the card bracket to the back panel of the PC and replace the cover.
Connect screens to all the outputs from the card. If there are other graphics devices in the system, connect screens to them
(even if you don’t intend to use all the outputs in your final configuration).
Switch all the screens on then switch the machine on. You should see the boot messages on one of the screens. The screen on
which the system will boot is dependent on how the system is configured and the motherboard BIOS. It is not possible to control
which of the XtremeVision-Pro+ outputs the system will boot on.
