4 | Planning the Board Installation
Installation Requirements
Before you install the Md5/DFP board, review these installation
requirements to check for all the items you need.
Cross-platform requirements
You can install the Md5/DFP board in a PC or a Sun PCI
workstation. Each platform requires a compatible flat panel
that supports your desired display resolution.
All flat panels on systems running Windows NT 4.0 must
have the same resolution. On systems running Windows 2000
or Solaris, multiple flat panels driven by an Md5/DFP board
must have the same resolution.
