Graphics Configuration Restrictions

This subsection describes restrictions on the installation and support of graphics adapters.

Graphics Displays 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. You need to install a Visualize Enhanced Graphics Card (A4450A) in addition to the built-in EG Graphics, and the A4451A for a four display system.

The built-in graphics adapter (graphics(0)) accounts for one graphics dis- play.

Dual Graphics Adapters You may not install dual display graphics adapters in option slot 1 and option slot 3 at the same time. Installing dual display graphics adapters in option slot 1 and option slot 3 at the same time results in the graphics adapter in slot 1 being disabled.

You may not install dual display graphics adapters in option slot 2 and option slot 4 at the same time. Installing dual display graphics adapter in option slot 2 and option slot 4 at the same time reults in the graphics adapter in slot 2 being disabled.

Multi-board Graphics Adapters When a Visualize48Z (A4244A) two board graphics adapter is installed, only one other graphics adapter may be installed in the option slots. If the highest numbered slot used by the Visual- ize 48Z board set is an even numbered slot, then you may only install a graphics card in the remaing odd numbered slot. If the highest numbered slot used by the Visualize 48Z board set is an odd numbered slot, then you may only install a graphics card in the remaining even numbered slot. For exam- ple; assuming a Visualize 48Z board set is installed in slots 1 and 2, slot two is the highest numbered slot used and it is an even numbered slot. Therefore you may only install an aditional graphics adapter in slot 3, which is the remaining odd numbered slot.

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 Model C160/C180.
