HARDWARE INSTALLATION
2.1 Installation Instructions
The GFX 550e graphics card installation is simple and consists
of a few easy steps. These installation instructions presume that
you are familiar with the Solaris operating system.
NOTE: Remember which cables go to which connectors. You
may want to label the cables and connectors before
disconnecting them.
Step
1: Turn your computer OFF, remove the
computer’s cover, find an available PCIe slot,
and remove the bracket and screw. Ground
yourself by touching the metal part on the case.
Step 2: Install the GFX 550e card firmly into the PCIe
slot. Take care to press it evenly and snugly
into the slot. Once you are certain that the card
is installed properly into the slot, secure it with
the bracket screw.
Step 3: Secure the computer’s cover, attach any
previously removed cables, and connect the
video cable to your monitor.
The port on the GFX 550e supports two displays
with a custom splitter cable attached to the port.
The splitter cable that is packaged with the card
has two DVI-I connectors. (Please refer to
Appendix B for more information on the cables
or for information about the required adapters for
supporting analog monitors.)
