1 Introduction This manual covers the installation and configuration of the HP Visualize fx family of graphics cards (fxe, fx5, fx10a and fx10b) into HP Workstations released after September1999. These workstations include the B1000, B2x00, C3x00, J5x00, J6x00 and J7000.
Introduction The HP A4982A Visualize fxe card is an entry level, 2D/3D graphics card with 18 Mbytes of SGRAM. It provides analog video only through a standard 15-pin miniature D-sub connector. The A4982B version of the HP Visualize fxe card (above) has 24 Mbytes of SDRAM and features an available texture memory at 1280 x 1024 resolution of 9.5 Mbytes instead of the 3.5 MBytes for the A4982A. The two cards are fully pixel compatible.
Introduction Related Documents All fx family graphics cards require a PCI 2X interface to the HP-UX workstation backplane. This manual also describes the basic prerequisites for installing HP Visualize fx graphics cards into the supported workstations. The table below lists the various graphics products covered by this manual, and their respective product numbers.
Introduction Related Documents • http://www.docs.hp.com is the website for documents regarding HP-UX systems • http://www.hp.
Introduction Prerequisites Prerequisites To support the HP Visualize fx family of graphics cards, your workstation must meet the following prerequisites: 1. Your workstation must be running one of the following versions of the HP-UX operating system and have the appropriate Additional Core Enhancement (ACE) software bundle and Workstation Quality Pack installed: • HP-UX revision 10.20 with the ACE software bundle (December 1999 or later) and the B6825AA graphics bundle or • HP-UX revision 11.
Introduction Prerequisites revision date that is listed in the output may be later than the one shown above. For example, if the ACE revision date listed for HP-UX 10.20 is later than December 1999, then the proper ACE software bundle is installed on your workstation for Visualize fx products. If you are not running HP-UX, revision 10.20 or 11.0 with these ACE bundles or a later release, you need to update your software before installing your graphics card.
Introduction Prerequisites The fx5 and fx10 graphics card supports the following monitor resolutions: Table 1-3 Visualize fx5 and fx10 Supported Resolutions Width x Height Frequency Font Description 1280x1024 75Hz 10x20 VESA 1024x768 75Hz 8x16 VESA 1280x1024 60Hz 10x20 Digital Flat Panel 1600x1200 75Hz 10x20 VESA 1600x1024 76Hz 10x20 1920x1200 60Hz 10x20 1920x1080 68Hz 10x20 1280x1024 100Hz 10x20 Stereo in a Window 1024x768 120Hz 8x16 Stereo in a Window 1280x1024 85Hz
Introduction Making Software and Device-Specific Changes Making Software and Device-Specific Changes System Configuration For important information on configuring your system for your graphics option (for example, creating a device file with mknod), refer to your workstation and HP-UX documentation.
Introduction Making Software and Device-Specific Changes If you do not have the CD-ROM's that contain the latest Workstation ACE release or HP's implementation of the OpenGL runtime libraries, you can download them from the Hewlett-Packard website using this URL: http://www.software.hp.com/ For information on installing Workstation ACE and HP's implementation of the OpenGL runtime libraries, read the documents provided with those products or go to: http://www.hp.
Introduction Checklist For Making Software Changes Checklist For Making Software Changes 1. Read this Entire Document It contains information for product installation configuration. 2. Check the Available File System Space Before installing this product, make sure there is enough available space in your file system in /opt/graphics. Your workstation needs at least 133 megabytes of available disk space for all file sets and patches. 3.
Introduction Checklist For Making Software Changes To determine whether these products are properly installed, try compiling and running an application on your system that uses one of the above Application Programming Interfaces (APIs). • Check: /var/adm/sw/swinstall.log Once you have completed the API installation process, look at the contents of the file /var/adm/sw/swinstall.log.
Introduction General Hardware Installation Instructions General Hardware Installation Instructions NOTE Before you install your graphics card, you must read the workstation documentation for important system configuration information. CAUTION Graphics boards are susceptible to electrostatic shock. When handling your graphics board, always wear a properly grounded wrist strap and handle the board carefully.
Introduction General Hardware Installation Instructions 2. After installing your graphics hardware, before turning on your workstation, you must refer to your workstation documentation for information on defining the boot console and monitor type. 3. Refer to your workstation documentation for instructions on using SAM to verify your graphics configuration. 4. Plug the AC power cord into the workstation and power on the workstation. 5.

Introduction Fixing Common Installation Problems Fixing Common Installation Problems This section describes how to fix some common problems you may encounter while installing the HP Visualize graphics card. Note that there are several system utilities that you can use to display or set the graphics configuration for your workstation: • /opt/graphics/common/bin/graphinfo allows you to display the current graphics configuration and the graphics drivers that are being used.
Introduction Fixing Common Installation Problems 3. Display what graphics cards the system console recognizes by typing: mo graphics list 4. Select the monitor type by typing: mo graphics(N) # type where N = card slot, and # = monitor type 5. Set the console path to the graphics card by typing: pa co graphics(N) 6. Reconnect the keyboard to the system and cycle the system’s power. The system console should now display.
