Introduction

It describes the basic prerequisites and procedures for installing the HP VISUALIZE

fxe (HP product number A4982A) graphics card into the supported workstations.

The HP VISUALIZE fxe 2D/3D graphics accelerator card is an entry-level graphics

card. It installs in a PCI 2X(64 bits wide 33Mhz/66Mhz) slot in an HP-UX

workstation backplane. It uses a standard 15-pin miniature D-Sub receptacle

connector to connect to a video monitor cable. It supports resolutions of:

Introduction

Prerequisites

To support the HP VISUALIZE fxe graphics card, your workstation must meet the

following prerequisites.

• Your workstation must be running one of the following revisions 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 9909 ACE software bundle (September 1999)

— HP-UX revision 11.00 with the 9911 ACE software bundle (November 1999)

To verify that the proper ACE software bundle is installed on your workstation,

perform the following steps:

1. At a command prompt, type the following

/usr/sbin/swlist -l bundle | grep ACE

2. Scan the output for either of the following, as appropriate for your workstation’s

HP-UX operating system revision:

• The HP-UX 10.20 B6193DA ACE software bundle with the description:

Workstation ACE for HP-UX 10.20 (September 1999)

This line indicates that the September 1999 ACE software bundle is installed.

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

Workstation ACE for HP-UX 11.00 (November 1999)

This line indicates that the November 1999 ACE software bundle is installed

NOTE

Because the ACE software bundles are updated occasionally, the ACE

revision date that is listed in the output may be later than the one

shown above. For example, if the ACE revision date listed for HP-UX

10.20 is later than September 1999, then the proper ACE software

bundle is installed on your workstation.

If your workstation is not running HP-UX revision 10.20 or 11.0 with the appropriate

Chapter 1 9

Introduction

Prerequisites

ACE software bundle, you need to update your operating system software before

installing your graphics card. Contact your designated service representative for

information on receiving an update. The ACE software bundles and Quality Packs

are also available for downloading from the http://software.hp.com website. The

bundles will require approximately 133 Mb of disk space.

Your workstation must have either an HP-supported monitor running at 75 Hz with

a 1280 X 1024 resolution, or a full multi-mode color monitor. Monitors with Enhanced

Video Connector (EVC), D-Sub connector, or 5 BNC connectors (RGB, vertical sync,

horizontal sync) will work.

The HP VISUALIZE fxe graphics card will not function with older HP monitor types

that use a sync on green signal. This includes monitors such as the HP 1097A/B/ C/D,

A2088A, and A2828A/B which only have 3 RGB connectors.

See your workstation Owner's Guide for information on using the /opt/graphics/

common/bin/setmon command to produce a list of supported monitors for your

workstation, such as the following sample list:

NOTE

Your list of monitors may differ from the list shown above, depending on

your workstation’s setup.

You may also need the following adapter to connect your graphics card’s D-Sub

connector to an Enhanced Video Connector (EVC) monitor’s receptacle connection:

Prerequisites

Making Software and Device-Speciﬁc Changes

System Conﬁguration

For important information on conﬁguring your system for your HP VISUALIZE fxe

graphics card, refer to your workstation Owner's Guide and your HP-UX

documentation. If you are installing a multiple-display system and you will be using

the Common Desktop Environment (CDE), refer to the Common Desktop

Environment User's Guide for important conﬁguration information. If you will be

using HP VUE instead, refer to the HP Visual User Environment User's Guide.

Special Considerations

To ensure that your workstation has the most up-to-date core operating system

software, it is recommended that the most recent release of the Additional Core

Enhancement (ACE) software bundle be installed. In addition, if your applications

are based on HP's implementation of OpenGL runtime libraries, it is highly

recommended that you update your HP implementation of the OpenGL runtime

libraries from the September 1999 (or later) application release, or from the

Hewlett-Packard web-site.

If you do not have the CD-ROMs that contain the latest release of ACE and the

Quality Pack or HP's implementation of the OpenGL runtime libraries, you can

download them from the Hewlett-Packard website at this URL:

http://www.software.hp.com/

For information on installing ACE and HP's implementation of the OpenGL runtime

libraries, read the documents provided with those products.

Steps for Making Software Changes

Each step is described below.

1. Read this Entire Document

Read all of this document. It contains information for product installation.

2. Check the Available File System Space

Before installing this product, make sure there is enough available space in your

ﬁle system in /opt/graphics. Your workstation needs at least 133 MB of

available disk space for all ﬁlesets and patches.
