Overview Overview Thank you for choosing Barco. BarcoMed Nio display controller overview The BarcoMed Nio Display Controller delivers a quality image with 256 simultaneous shades of gray for medical viewing applications. Minimum system requirements • Pentium II 266 MHz with 128 MB RAM (Pentium II 800MHz with 256 MB RAM for cineloops) • PCI slot with no obstructions • PCI 2.1 and/or 2.
Overview For all BarcoMed Nio display controllers The following resolution is also available when the OS is booted in VGA mode. • 640x480 @ Default Refresh Rate, 16 colors System Configuration Guidelines Because of the low power consumption and low heat generation of the BarcoMed Nio display controller, multiple controllers may be installed in adjacent PCI slots or adjacent to other PCI boards. Additionally there should be no need to modify either the PC’s power supply and/or cooling system.

Display controller installation Display controller installation Caution: Wear a grounded, protective ESD strap during installation or handling of the display controller. Electrostatic charges can damage the display controller. Prior to installing your BarcoMed Nio display controller(s) in your PC please take a few minutes to familiarize yourself with both the display controller(s) and the PCI slots in your computer.
Display controller installation Figure 4 If you decide to use a separate VGA monitor as your boot monitor, you must disable the BarcoMed Nio’s on-board VGA capabilities by moving the jumper to the bottom two pins. Caution: To use multiple BarcoMed Nio controllers in a single host with VGA enabled, you should enable VGA on only ONE of the BarcoMed Nio display controllers and disable VGA on ALL the other BarcoMed Nio display controllers.
Display controller installation Figure 5: PCI and RAID Controller Slots Installing the BarcoMed Nio display controller Install the BarcoMed Nio 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.
Display controller installation 6. Connect the primary display to the connector marked “VID 1” on the BarcoMed Nio display controller using the provided DVI cable (see figure 6 below). For a dual-headed BarcoMed Nio setup, connect the secondary display to the other connector on the display controller. 7. Reconnect the power cord, turn on the power, and boot the system as usual.

Precautions Precautions Precautions • Keep your original packaging. It is designed for this display and is the ideal protection during transport. • Avoid reflections in the flat panel to reduce eye strain. • Place the display on a strong and stable table or desk. • Keep the display away from heat sources and provide enough ventilation around the display. • Do not scratch or apply pressure to the LCD panel. This may damage the panel permanently.
Power connection Power connection To connect the power: 1. Connect the output of the 12V DC power supply to the DC input of the display. BARCO Figure 7 2. Connect one end of the proper power cable to the AC input of the 12V DC power supply. Figure 8 3. Connect the other end of the power cord to a grounded power outlet. We recommend to use an additional surge protector between the power supply unit and the power outlet to protect the equipment against sudden power variations.
Video connection Video connection The display has 3 different video inputs: VGA (Sub-D 15), Digital (DVI) and S-Video. However, the S-Video input is not supported. You can select the proper input by using the display’s on-screen display. To connect the video & sync signals: BARCO c d Figure 9 1. Connect one end of the appropriate video cable to the corresponding video input of the monitor: • Analog video: Connect to input (1) • DVI: Connect to input (2) The S-Video input is not supported 2.
Wall mounting Wall mounting You can mount the panel to the wall instead of to the foot, by means of the supplied mounting plate. If you do not need to mount the panel to the wall, please skip this item. Step 1: Remove the panel from the foot BARCO c Figure 10 1. Position one hand under the panel at the front side. Position the other hand at the rear, under the push-button with BARCO logo (1). 2.
Wall mounting Figure 11 2. Slide back the locks at both sides of the mounting plate (figure 12). In that way, you can secure the panel to the mounting plate after placing the panel. Figure 12 Step 3: Place the panel on the mounting plate 1. Place the panel on the mounting plate (figure 13). If you want to secure the panel to the mounting plate, place the panel in the frontmost notches. Please make sure that the four shafts are securely placed in the notches of the mounting plate.
Wall mounting Figure 13 2. To secure the panel, slide forward the locks on both sides of the mounting plate. Lock the panel with one screw at both sides (figure 14).

Precautions Precautions Precautions • Take care not to damage or scratch the glass or LCD panel. • Do not apply pressure on the glass or LCD panel. • Do not apply or spray liquid directly to the glass, panel or cabinet as excess liquid may cause damage to internal electronics. Instead, apply the liquid to the cleaning cloth.
Cabinet Cabinet Proceed as follows: • Clean the cabinet using a soft cotton cloth, lightly moistened with a recognized cleaning product for medical equipment. • Repeat with water only. • Wipe dry with a dry cloth. • The cabinet has been tested for resistance to the following products: Cidex, Betadine, Alcohol (Isopropyl and Ethyl), Ammoniabased cleaners (Windex) and Aquasonic Gel.
LCD panel LCD panel To clean the LCD panel: • Dust particles on the LCD panel may be blown away by using a dust remover. E.g., DUST OFF 67 (KONTAKT Chemie). A dust remover is composed of a blend of compressed liquid gases functioning as propellant. They provide a jet of dry inert gas that acts like compressed air for a quick and safe removal of dust particles and other dry contaminants on the surface of the lcd panel or the glass panel. Attention: The dust remover contains a liquid gas.
