To use the DCD, your Dual Head workstation must have VPro V12 graphics boards
installed. If you have a Single Head workstation, see Chapter 1, "Installing the DCD in a
Single Head Octane2". Properly installed VPro V12 graphics boards ensure that you are
running the correct version of IRIX.
To verify that your system has VPro V12 graphics boards, follow these steps:
1. Open a UNIX shell.
2. At the prompt, enter
You will see output similar to the following:

If only one graphics board is listed, you may have a Single Head system. In that
case, see Chapter 1, "Installing the DCD in a Single Head Octane2".
If two boards are shown, but they are not listed as V12, you cannot use the DCD.
