Installing the BarcoMed 5MP1HM Display Controller
Install the 5MP1HM into your computer following these steps:
1. Turn off the power to your computer and disconnect the power
cord.
2. Remove the chassis cover according to the manufacturers
instructions. Be sure to observe safety warnings.
3. If you have decided to use the on-board VGA capabilities of the
5MP1HM (see Using the VGA Capabilities of the BarcoMed
5MP1HM), you must now remove any VGA cards that are
currently installed in the computer. You may also need to un-install
the drivers for that VGA controller. (Consult the User Guide for
your VGA controller for instructions on removing the driver.) If your
system has an integrated VGA card you may need to make
changes to your systems BIOS settings in order to use the VGA
capabilities of your BarcoMed controller. (Consult your PC
manufacturers guides for instructions.)
4. Install the 5MP1HM Display Controller into a free 64bit PCI slot
(see Figure 3 for examples of slots). Be sure that the controller is
seated firmly in the slot.
5. Secure the card to the chassis with the PCs I/O panel mounting
screw, and replace the chassis cover.
6. Connect the display to the BarcoMed 5MP1HM using the video
cable provided with the controller. Each display cable has three
BNC connectors on it. The green one is the video, the black one is
the horizontal sync, and the white one is the vertical sync. Figure
4 shows the cable connectors on the back of the controller. To
install multiple BarcoMed 5MP1HM display controllers in your
computer repeat steps 4 6.
7. Reconnect the power cord, turn on the power, and boot the system
as usual.
Running Multiple BarcoMed Display Controllers in a Single
Host
The physical order of the displays may vary when you are running
multiple BarcoMed display controllers. This is due to the PCs PCI
bus control in the system BIOS, and not the BarcoMed controller. It
may become necessary, depending on how your PCs BIOS
configures the PCI bus, to switch your BNC display connections to
achieve a linear desktop configuration.
