Installing and Removing Option Modules
All option modules are installed and removed in the same
manner.
Install a color frame buffer module in option slots 0, 1, or 2.
A color frame buffer module provides two-dimensional color
and gray-scale video displays on a monitor.
It can be used with ULTRIX worksystem software version
4.0 and higher and with any monitor available for use with
the DECstation 5000 Model 200 workstation.
You can have only one color frame buffer module inside
the system unit. Never install another graphics module
in a system that already has a color frame buffer module
without first removing the color frame buffer.
Install a 2D graphics accelerator module in option slots 0 or
1.
Caution: Replacing the system unit cover when a 2D graphics
accelerator module is in option slot 2 will damage the module.
A 2D graphics accelerator module rapidly generates 256-
color, two-dimensional color graphics on a monitor.
To use a 2D graphics accelerator, you must have a 19-inch
VRT19 color monitor and ULTRIX worksystem software
that is version 4.1 or higher.
You can have only one 2D graphics accelerator module
inside the system unit. Do not install another graphics
module in a system that has a 2D graphics accelerator
module without first removing the 2D graphics accelerator.
Install a low or mid 3D graphics accelerator module in
option slots 0 and 1, with the option cable connector in
option slot 0.
A low 3D graphics accelerator module provides 8-plane
three-dimensional color graphics on a monitor.
A mid 3D graphics accelerator module provides 24-plane
three-dimensional color graphics on a monitor.
