Chapter 2 Hardware and Software Installation This chapter details how to install your graphics accelerator in your system as well as where to download associated software and drivers. 2.1 Installation Overview Once you have determined that your system meets the minimum requirements, perform the following tasks to install your new graphics accelerator. Detailed installation instructions are provided in the following sections. 1.
6 Hardware and Software Installation 2. Unplug the computer's power cord, and then disconnect all cables from the back of the computer. Caution: Wait approximately 20 seconds after unplugging the power cord before disconnecting a peripheral cable or removing a component from the motherboard to avoid possible damage to the motherboard. 3. Remove the cover to your computer's case. Note: If necessary, consult your computer's manual for help in removing the cover.
Hardware and Software Installation 7 8. If your card requires supplementary power and must be connected directly to the power supply, locate the appropriate power connector cable (or cables) from the power supply and connect it (or them) to the graphics card's supplementary power connector(s), which are usually located in the upper corner of the card. Note: Before installing a card that requires a supplementary power connection, make sure your existing power supply has such a connection available. 9.
8 Hardware and Software Installation 2.3.2 AMD Automatic Application Detection and Configuration AMD FirePro drivers offer automatic application detection and configuration, which enables the graphics driver to automatically detect an application when it starts and configure the graphics driver settings for optimal performance. This detection feature works with multiple open applications.
Chapter 3 Display Configuration This chapter describes how to configure displays. It also lists available display connections for your graphics accelerator. 3.1 Baseplate Connections The following figure shows the display connections available on your AMD FirePro™ R5000 workstation graphics card. Note: Baseplate may not appear exactly as depicted. Figure 3–1 AMD FirePro™ R5000 Workstation Graphics Baseplate Connections 1 RJ-45 connection for output to the network.
10 Display Configuration 3.3 Setting up Remote Graphics Remote graphics with the AMD FirePro™ R5000 workstation graphics card requires a PCoIP certified thin client receiver box. Note: You must already have installed your AMD FirePro™ R5000 workstation graphics card in the host machine, with an appropriate driver installed. For more information, see Installing a PCI Express Graphics Card (p. 5). 1.

Chapter 4 Using the Control Center Software 4.1 Control Center Overview The Control Center software application contains settings for configuring and finetuning your AMD product. Use it to manage desktops and displays, optimize your graphics processor for enhanced 3D application and video quality, and configure your CPU for improved power savings or system performance.
14 Using the Control Center Software Table 4–1 Control Center Access Routes in Windows® Access Route Instructions Windows Start Screen 1. On the Windows Start screen open app commands and then tap or click All apps. 2. Click the Control Center tile. Windows Desktop 1. Right-click anywhere on the desktop. 2. From the shortcut menu that appears, click the Control Center option. Windows Start Menu 1. Click Start on the Windows task bar. 2. Click All Programs followed by the Control Center option.
Chapter 5 Remote Graphics This section provides a brief overview of remote graphics—specifically PC-over-IP® (PCoIP®), a technology developed by Teradici® for remotely connecting a thin client to a PC/workstation/blade PC containing an AMD FirePro™ R5000 workstation graphics card. 5.1 Remote Graphics Hardware Remote graphics help separate a workstation user from the physical PC while providing the same graphics performance and computing experience offered by a discrete workstation graphics accelerator.
16 Remote Graphics Figure 5–1 Typical Remote Graphics Setup Note: AMD FirePro™ R5000 workstation graphics is not in itself a virtualized system; the users are connected to dedicated desktop PC or blade PC systems on a 1:1 basis and retain full discrete workstation graphics (and CPU) performance. A remote graphics solution can offer a number of advantages: • Increased data and system security. • Less cluttered, less noisy workspaces.
Remote Graphics 17 5.2 Wake-on-LAN (WOL) Configuration There are two ways to configure WOL: 1. If your motherboard supports PCI_WAKE# signal (check with your motherboard supplier to see if this is supported): Note: This method is considered standard WOL, using an external signal. • If required, configure the system BIOS to enable “power on by PCIe devices.” 2. If your motherboard does not support PCI_WAKE# signal: Note: This method wakes the system through the R5000, without an external signal.
18 Remote Graphics Figure 5–4 Full Reset Using JU6803 5.4 Network Considerations PCoIP does not require special network equipment or graphics drivers. Some form of network connection brokering software is required, however. The amount of network bandwidth required for remote graphics is entirely dependent on the type of user and the software applications required. PCoIP technology dynamically adjusts the data compression/quality based on available network resources.
Chapter 6 Reference This chapter provides notices, troubleshooting tips, and customer care, warranty, and standards-compliance information. 6.1 Product Features This chapter describes some of the special features that are associated with the AMD FirePro™ R5000 product and are available through the Control Center software application.

20 Reference 6.1.1.3 Multi Desktop Using the Multi Desktop component of HydraVision, you can create and manage up to nine virtual desktops, each with their own display settings and background image. One desktop can be made visible at a time, while others can run in the background. Using Multi Desktop, you can also: • Switch between desktops using a mouse click or hot key. • Run applications on a particular desktop or all desktops. • Move running applications between desktops.
Reference 21 If necessary, disable any built-in graphics capabilities on your motherboard. For more information, consult your computer’s manual or manufacturer. Note: • Some manufacturers do not allow the built-in graphics to be disabled or to become the secondary display. • If your system has built-in graphics capabilities, make sure that you uninstall the associated driver to prevent conflicts with AMD graphics drivers.
22 Reference 6.2.5 The operating system warns that the graphics card isn't properly configured. Make sure that the display resolution and refresh rate settings you have selected are supported by the monitor you have connected. Check the driver installation and make sure that all software is correctly loaded corresponding to your operating system and applications. Reinstall the drivers for your graphics card. 6.2.6 There are bus address or interrupt conflicts.
