Unpacking and handling tips The Dome EX display is a precision instrument that requires proper care to maintain product operation and adherence to specification. Unpack the display and components carefully, then set up and handle the unit properly to avoid damage to the LCD panel. • Use both hands to grasp the display case when lifting it from the shipping carton, but avoid touching the screen. • Do not apply pressure to the screen or touch the screen with bare fingers or objects.
Cleaning the display Observe the following guidelines to maintain the display and the LCD screen. • Use a clean, lint-free, absorbent cotton cloth to clear off any residual glue from removal of the protective film or to remove surface dust. Apply light pressure to remove the dust. • Dampen a clean cloth with a small amount of isopropyl alcohol to remove glue or dust if the screen is still not clean. Do not saturate the cloth; otherwise, alcohol may seep into the display case and collect in the enclosure.
Shipping/storing the display Keep the display in its shipping container until installation. Return the display to its original container whenever you need to store the unit, move it to another location, or return it for repair. The packaging supplied by the manufacturer protects the display while it is in transit. See environment specifications for more information. Before returning the display to the container, do the following: 1 Swivel the display panel in portrait mode.

Installing the Display Before you install the Dome DX2 or the AX3 display controller, remove any existing graphics card and its driver from your system. Also disable any onboard graphics capability on the motherboard. If you are installing the Dome DX2 board, you must set the DIP switches for your system configuration. See “Set the DIP Switch on the Dome DX2 Board” on page 7.
Set the DIP Switch on the Dome DX2 Board If you are using the Dome DX2 display controller, you need to enable or disable VGA mode according to your system configuration. Enable VGA on only one board when you install multiple Dome DX2 display controllers. Disable VGA on all Dome DX2 display controllers if you are using a separate VGA card. For VGA mode, slide switch 1 into the ON position. For some Dell systems, you may need to enable VESA modes to see output on the screen during the boot process.
Install the Display Controller Before you install the Dome DX2 or the AX3 display controller, choose a well-ventilated location with an adequate amount of space. Excessive heat cannot dissipate when display vents are blocked. Make sure a grounded AC outlet is within easy reach. When installing multiple display controllers, install all boards before you install the display driver. Turn your computer off. Leave the power cord plugged into the grounded outlet.
Connect the Video and Power Cables Turn your computer off. Leave the power cord plugged into the grounded outlet. Use the Dome EX display with the power adapter and video cable shipped. For the Dome E2 display, the power adapter is the Ault MW116KA1249F53. For the Dome E3, Dome E3c, and Dome E5 displays, the power adapter is the Ault MW122RA1223F52. To connect the cables 1 Plug one end of the DVI cable into the DVI port on the interface plate. Secure the connection.

Single Desktop On Windows systems, the single desktop supports the Dome E3, Dome E3c, and Dome E5 displays running the Dome DX2 controller. From one display controller, you can run a single desktop across two Dome EX displays. The procedures in this section show you how to complete the initial installation of single desktop and how to change your system configuration to move from dual-headed display to single desktop.
To change the configuration to single desktop If you are working on a dual-headed display, you can use the following procedure to change your hardware and software configuration to single desktop. 1 Use the InstallShield Wizard to uninstall the existing driver. 2 On the DIP switch, place switch 3 in the ON position. 3 Reinstall the display controller. Then attach both displays to the controller. 4 Power on the system, and run Setup.exe to install the driver. 5 Set the display resolution.
Auto-Installation The functionality of automatic installation allows you to install the Dome DX display driver silently without any user interaction. This option also configures display settings to meet the end user's configuration requirements. Automatic installation enables all displays and rearranges the displays on the Windows desktop so that any attached third-party color monitor appears to the left of the Dome CX or Dome EX displays. All displays are arranged with top alignment.
Installation options Choose one of the four options to install or uninstall a display. • Run setup.exe with no switches, or double-click the setup.exe icon. Normal installation that requires user interaction. • Run fastinst.bat. Silent installation that enables all displays and rearranges the monitors on the Windows desktop so that any attached third-party monitor appears to the left of the Dome CX or Dome EX displays. All monitors are arranged with top alignment.
-s Silent mode. Use a response file instead of prompting user response during installation. -f1 Use the response file specified during installation. If no -f1 switch is given, the installation uses the response file in the same directory in which setup.exe resides. -f2 Save any output to the log file specified during installation. If no -f2 switch is given, the installation saves to the log file in the same directory in which the response file resides.
Four sample batch files are provided with the Dome DX display driver. The content of each file, shown here, illustrates the use of these switches. fastinst.bat setup.exe -s -f2%TEMP%\fastinst.log uninst.bat setup.exe -s -f1un_install\setup.iss -f2%TEMP%\uninst.log -remove sample1.bat setup.exe -s -f2%TEMP%\sample1.log -bit8 -noddraw -static -noautodetect sample2.bat setup.exe -s -f2%TEMP%\sample2.
Display Driver Removal Follow the appropriate procedure below to remove either the Dome DX or the AX3 driver from your system. To remove the Dome DX driver 1 Log on with administrator privileges. 2 Insert the W2KDXPCI CD and open the CD folder. 3 Double-click Setup.exe. The Welcome dialog box appears. 4 Select Remove, and click Next. 5 Click OK to confirm uninstall. 6 Select Yes, I want to restart my computer now, and click Finish. To remove the AX3 driver 1 Close all applications that are running.
Power Management You have two ways to lower energy usage when the Dome EX display is idle: • Dome CXtra Backlight Saver service (preferred) • Screen Saver (set via Windows operating system) Activate the power saver when you anticipate periods of inactivity, such as at the end of the work day. Once activated, Backlight Saver (or Screen Saver) automatically turns the backlight off during the period of inactivity.
Grayscale Palette Options The Dome DX2 display controller supports different palette options on Windows systems. In the Palette Options field of the Dome tab, use the pull-down menu to select a palette. Then click Apply or OK. Dome palette options must coordinate with the primary display. All flat panels must be set to either palette devices or non-palette devices, as shown in this table.
Palette options with multiple displays The SelectPalette and RealizePalette functions in the Microsoft Developer’s Network, or MSDN, work across all flat-panel displays if the primary panel is palettized. The palettes of all palette-type devices are synchronized. If, however, the primary panel is not palettized, the SelectPalette and RealizePalette functions select the palette into the background, and palettized devices are not synchronized.
Static gray palette The static gray palette provides 256 shades of gray in a static palette. This palette does not reserve the first and last 10 palette entries for icons and other standard Windows graphics, which frees the entire grayscale ramp for applications. The static gray palette does not provide gray-mapped Windows colors for the first and last 10 palette entries. Because the framebuffer assumes the Windows palette is in use, applications that draw directly to the framebuffer display incorrectly.
