Introduction Making Software and Device-Specific Changes If you do not have the CD-ROM's that contain the latest Workstation ACE release or HP's implementation of the OpenGL runtime libraries, you can download them from the Hewlett-Packard website using this URL: http://www.software.hp.com/...
Once you have installed the December 1999 (or later) Workstation ACE bundle (B6825AA) for HP-UX 10.20 or November 1999 for HP-UX 11.X; plus the graphics bundle (B6268A), you will have all the necessary software to support the fx family product.

Application Programming Interface (API) programs (that is, programs created using HP's implementation of OpenGL, Starbase, or HP PEX). If you do not have an existing program, then make sure that you install the demonstration filesets that comes with your API.
Bulkhead Pin(s), Board Connector(s) and Board Guide Extender(s). Note that you will need to have a PCI Extension Clip attached to the corresponding slot on the PCI Retainer for an HP Visualize graphics card. The location of the PCI Extension Clip is shown in the figure below.

NOTE Older monitors that have only 3 RGB connectors will not function with the HP Visualize fxe graphics card because these monitors have no sync input except by sync on green. For more information, see the Prerequisites section earlier in this manual.
HP-UX to recognize the new graphics card or new card location: 1. Place the new card in the new slot location and boot to HP-UX. It will not boot into CDE or HP VUE, but it will allow you to login at the command line level as root.
