1 Quad Monitor PCoIP Deployment

This section describes a basic quad monitor deployment. A PCoIP kit consists of a Host

Card and Desktop Portal pair and supports up to two monitors. To support up to four

monitors on the client side, a multi-monitor PCoIP deployment can be implemented using

two PCoIP kits.

Here the Hosts Cards and Portals are configured to use static IP addresses. In this

example, the keyboard is connected to Portal A, while the mouse is connected to Portal

Figure 1-1 Quad Monitors Setup Using Two PCoIP Kits

1.1 Host PC Requirements

The host PC needs two graphics cards with two DVI ports on each card. Alternatively, a

quad monitor graphics card can be used. The motherboard must have two available

PCIe (minimum x1) slots for the two Host Cards.

Note: Be sure your host PC with two graphics cards can support up to four monitors

without the use of PCoIP and that there are two available PCIe slots for the Host Cards

before proceeding.

Note: It may be possible to add additional PCoIP Host cards when no PCIe slots are

available. See Section 2.2 for more information.
