Graphics Paths

graphics(0) is the built-in 8-plane graphics adapter.

graphics(1) and graphics(2) are graphics adapters installed in option slots 1 and 2.

When a dual display graphics adapter (an adapter which has two video out- put connectors) is installed, the video connector on the left (when looking at the system from the rear) is graphics(NA) and the video connector on the right is graphics(NB), where N is the slot number in which the graphics adapter is installed. A and B denote the two video output connectors on the dual display adapter.

For example, a Dual Visualize Enhanced Graphics Card (A4451A) installed in option slot 2 would be graphics(2A) and graphics(2B).

Graphics Configuration Restrictions

The system supports only four graphics displays at a time. A “display” is a video output port or connector. For example, the Dual Visualize Enhanced Graphics Card (A4451A) is a dual display card. It has two external video connectors so it accounts for two of the maximum of four displays. Install- ing two of these cards accounts for four displays, which is the maximum supported by the system.

The built-in graphics adapter accounts for one graphics display

(graphics(0)). If four displays are installed in the option slots, the built-in graphics adapter is automatically disabled.

NOTICE:The A4077A Color Graphics Card, A4078A Dual Color Graphics Card, A4079B HCRX-8Z graphics adapter, and the A4071B HCRX-24 graphics adapter with the A4072A Z Accelerator attached are not supported in the B Class workstations.
