1.2 Host Cards Installation
This section outlines the installation using Host Card A as the master and Host Card B as
the slave.
Host Card A, the master, can be used for remote power management. If you wish to
enable power management, refer to Section 2.1 below for more information.
Host Installation Process
1. Power down your host PC and unplug the AC power cord.
2. Install two graphics cards with two DVI ports each that support a total of up to four
monitors. (Alternatively install one quad graphics card)
3. Note down the MAC address on Host Card A and install in an available PCIe slot.
4. Note down the MAC address on Host Card B and install in an available PCIe slot.
5. Connect DVI cables from graphics card A to Host Card A, and graphics card B to Host
Card B.
6. Connect Ethernet cable from the two Host Cards to a local DHCP network. (It is
recommended to use a small DHCP router for initial configuration, as this will make
determining the DHCP IP addresses easy.)
7. Reconnect the AC power cord, and power on the host PC.
1.3 Portal Installation
This section outlines the installation using Portal A as the master and Portal B as the
slave.
Portal Installation Process
1. Connect Portal A to two monitors and connect keyboard.
2. Connect Portal B to two monitors and connect mouse.
3. Connect Ethernet cable from the two Portals to a local DHCP network. (It is
recommended to use a small DHCP router for initial configuration, as this will make
determining the DHCP IP addresses easy)
4. Connect the AC power cords, and power on the Portals.
1.4 Network Configuration and Connect
This section describes configuring the Host Cards and Portals to use static IP addresses
using the PCoIP Administrative Web Interface. Using static IP addresses is
recommended as Host Discovery mode is not intended for production deployments due
to the limitation of the Portal displaying only 10 PCoIP Host Cards.
The network parameters can be reconfigured using a management PC. Connect a
management PC to the local network of the PCoIP Hosts and Portals. Alternatively, you
can connect the quad monitor PC NIC to the same network as the Hosts and Portals and
use it as the management PC.
Before continuing, decide on four IP addresses to use for this deployment. If the
deployment is to be used on the main network, you must configure your router or switch
to reserve IP addresses in your network for the PCoIP devices to avoid IP address
