Chapter 1
Introduction to Hurricane
Thank you for purchasing the Appian Hurricane
multiple monitor graphics card. This guide introduces
you to Appian Hurricane architecture, performance
capabilities and included software. This guide also
contains an overview of HydraVision display
management software, details about video support,
and important technical information. Be sure to read
this entire User Guide.
The Hurricane provides dual-monitor support. With
two display channels, the Hurricane is designed to
support multiple monitor configurations in Windows
98/ME, Windows 2000 and Windows NT 4.0.
The Hurricane card is a single-slot, multiple monitor
graphics solution featuring a high-speed PCI or AGP
bus interface, 32MB of on-board SDRAM
(Synchronous Dynamic Random Access Memory), and
full VGA and SVGA compatibility. The card interface
to the PCI (versions 2.1 and above) or AGP (1X, 2X
or 4X) bus incorporates multi-function capabilities for
complete multiple monitor operating system support.
The result is a fast, high-resolution display.
The Hurricane also features Appian’s powerful and
easy-to-use HydraVision multiple monitor desktop
management software for Windows 98/ME, Windows
2000 and Windows NT 4.0. HydraVision software
allows the user to define the placement and behavior
of windows and dialog boxes in the multiple monitor
display space, and provides a variety of productivity
tools designed specifically for managing multiple
monitors.
Appian Hurricane User Guide 2
HydraVision display management software provides
language support for Brazilian Portuguese, Danish,
Dutch, Finnish, French, German, Italian, Japanese,
Korean, Norwegian, Spanish, Swedish, Simplified
Chinese and Traditional Chinese.
If you are running Windows in any of the above
languages, HydraVision will automatically load the
appropriate localized control panel or tab. If you are
running Windows in a non-supported language,
HydraVision and the local help files will be available in
English only.

Before using your Hurricane hardware and software,
please verify that your package contains the items
listed below.
ŸAppian Hurricane AGP or PCI graphics card
ŸAppian Hurricane Installation CD-ROM
ŸRegistration/Warranty Card
ŸDVI-to-VGA adapter
Please contact Appian Technical Support if you find
any of these items missing or damaged. Fill out and

To get the best performance from your Hurricane
card, use the supplied Windows 98/ME, Windows
2000 or Windows NT 4.0 drivers and HydraVision
display management software. Each operating system
requires a separate program for configuring displays.
Be sure to use the appropriate device drivers and
configuration program for your operating system.
3Chapter 1: Introduction to Hurricane
Using Multiple Monitors
The Hurricane supports the use of multiple monitors in
Windows 98/ME, Windows 2000 and Windows NT 4.0.
Using a multiple monitor configuration is an efficient
and cost-effective way to increase the size of your
computer display area, commonly called the desktop.
With multiple monitors, you can view a single
application as a large window stretching across
several monitors, or you can display different
applications on each monitor.
