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 11.00 with the ACE software bundle (November 1999 or later) and the B6268 graphics bundle plus

•an HP Visualize fx family graphics card installed.

2.To verify that the proper ACE software bundle is installed on your workstation:

At a command prompt, type:

/usr/sbin/swlist -l bundle grep ACE

Scan the output for the following ACE software bundles:

•The HP-UX 10.20 B6193EA ACE software bundle with the description:

Workstation ACE for HP-UX 10.20 (December 1999) B6825AA Graphics Enablement Bundle

This line indicates that the December 1999 ACE software bundle and the B6825AA graphics bundle are installed.

•Or the HP-UX 11.00 B3782FA ACE software bundle with the description

Workstation ACE for HP-UX 11.00 (November 1999) B6268AA Graphics Technical Computing Environment

This line indicates that the November 1999 Workstation ACE software and the B6268AA graphics bundle are installed.

NOTE

Because the ACE software bundles are updated occasionally, the ACE
