If you are installing a single card (up to four screens), follow the section Installing the Master
Vigilant-X Card.
If you are installing more than one card, start by installing one card as described in Installing
the Master Vigilant-X Card. Once the system works correctly with four screens, install the rest
of the cards as described in Installing the Slave Vigilant-X Cards.
Installing the Master Vigilant-X Card
A requirement of PCs is that there is a VGA graphics device in the system. When you switch
on your PC, the VGA graphics device is used to display boot messages. The boot messages
include some or all of the following:
•
A message from the graphics card BIOS.
•
A logo for the motherboard.
•
Messages describing the results of the Power On Self Test (POST).
Some display devices take a long time to show an image so you may miss some of the boot
messages.
Before you install the master Vigilant-X card, you need to know if there are any VGA graphics
devices already in the system. There may be a PCI or AGP plug-in graphics card in the
system. There may be a graphics device on the motherboard or SBC.
The Vigilant-X can be used in systems that contain other manufacturer's graphics devices.
The screens connected to Vigilant-X cards are used for the main display. Another screen is
connected to the other graphics device and is used to configure or control the system. Due to
the number of other manufacturer's graphics devices available, it is not possible to support
them all. In general, a modern graphics device with an up-to-date display driver should work.
If you do not want to use the other graphics device at the same time as the Vigilant-X and the
graphics device is a plug-in card, remove the plug-in card from the system.
If you want to use Vigilant-X graphics cards only, the links on the master Vigilant-X should be
configured according to the following diagram:
