The HP VISUALIZE fx6 Texture Module Accessory

The HP VISUALIZE fx6 Texture Module Accessory

The HP Kayak XW Series 0480 model contains an HP VISUALIZE fx6 video 
board with 18 MB of SGRAM installed memory. 

An additional 32 MB of SDRAM texture memory can be added by installing a 
texture module. This texture module (D6795A) is only available as an 
accessory for the HP VISUALIZE fx6 video board.

 

NOTE

A similar texture module, supplying 18 MB of memory, exists for the HP 
VISUALIZE fx4 video board used in the previous HP Kayak XW PC 
Workstation models. These two texture modules cannot be interchanged.

The texture module for the HP VISUALIZE fx6 video board has two 
connector strips, which plug into two matching sockets. If there is no 
texture module installed, one of these sockets (the longer one of the two) 
will contain a terminator. The second socket remains empty. The video 
board will not work without a terminator installed.

NOTE

The sockets are concealed beneath a short strengthening bar, which should 
be removed before installing the texture module.

To install the texture module, you must first remove the HP VISUALIZE fx6 
video board. When you have installed the texture module, reboot the PC 
workstation. The texture module is automatically detected by the HP 
VISUALIZE fx6 driver. 

If you require more detailed explanation on how to install the texture 
module, refer to the HP VISUALIZE fx6 Texture Module Installation Guide, 
which is delivered with the accessory. The following are just basic steps to 
remove and replace the HP VISUALIZE fx6 board.

Two connector strips which plug into two 
matching sockets on the VISUALIZE fx6 video 
board.
