PCoIP Multi-Monitor Deployment Guide

You can install the Host Card somewhere inside or outside of the host PC. The Host
Card draws power from a floppy drive connector (+5V/+12V) of your ATX power supply in
your host PC. The slave PCoIP Host Card and Portal are used for video transmission
only (USB and audio are not supported when a Host Card is in Standalone mode).
Note: If there is not a free PCIe slot available for Host Card B, although not ideal, Host
Card B can be installed in Standalone mode.
Warning: If using Standalone mode, be sure the Standalone Host Card is well secured to
avoid physical/electrical damage and safety issues. Do not use Standalone mode unless
the Host card can be secured safely!
Configuring Standalone Mode
1. The slave Host Card can be configured in Standalone mode. Standalone mode allows
the Host Card to operate without installation in a PCIe slot.
By default, Standalone mode is disabled and the jumper is set to pin 2-3 of the
Standalone Mode Header. To enable Standalone mode:
a. Set the jumper to pin 1-2 of the Standalone Mode header. See Figure
2-3 for the pin number of this header.
Figure 2-3 Standalone Mode Header
b. Connect the floppy drive power connector. Note that the Host card draws
power from an external power supply through the floppy drive power
connector.
Warning: Be sure the floppy drive connector is connected in the proper
direction as shown in Figure 2-4. Also, be sure the Host Card is properly and
safely located to prevent short circuiting the Host Card.
