Figure 5: PCI and RAID Controller Slots

Install the BarcoMed 5MP2FH controller in your computer

following these steps:

1. Turn off the power to your computer and disconnect the power

cord, however make sure that the computer chassis is still

grounded.

2. Remove the chassis cover according to the manufacturer’s

instructions. Be sure to observe safety warnings.

3. If you have decided to use the on-board VGA capabilities of the

BarcoMed 5MP2FH (see Using the VGAcapabilities of the

BarcoMed 5MP2FH on page 39), you must now remove any VGA

display controller(s) that are currently installed in the computer.

4. Install the BarcoMed 5MP2FH Controller into a free PCI slot, either

32 bit or 64 bit (see figure 2, for examples of slots). Be sure that

the display controller is seated firmly in the slot.

5. Secure the card to the chassis with the PC’s I/O panel mounting

screw, and replace the chassis cover.

6. Connect the primary display (left most display in a linear

configuration, top most in a vertical configuration) to the

uppermost connector on the BarcoMed 5MP2FH (the output

farthest from the motherboard – “Head 1” in figure 6 on page 41)

using the provided DVI cable. For a dual-headed BarcoMed

5MP2FH setup, connect the secondary display to the other

connector on the display controller.
