Guidelines for the ProLiant WS460c G6 workstation blade with

WS460c graphics expansion blade

Before starting the installation, configure the workstation blade remote console mode to Setup Mode.

Setup Mode configures the iLO2 ATI graphics interface as the primary graphical processing unit

(GPU) and either disables the NVIDIA GPU or changes it to secondary status.

NOTE

Do not use the CAP driver in this configuration.

After the OS installation completes and Remote FX has started, configure the workstation blade remote

console mode to User Mode, which sets the NVIDIA GPU to primary status. When the NVIDIA GPU is

the primary GPU, there will not be output on the console display. Use the Remote Desktop Client to

access RemoteFX.

For information on configuring the remote console mode, see the Administrator's Guide for
