completed the required preinstallation tasks as outlined in this chapter.
1.1 Introduction
The AMD FirePro™ R5000 workstation graphics card is an integrated graphics
accelerator plus display compression and IP transmission card. Its main function is to
compress quad display graphics data and then output it out over a regular IP network
to a remote thin client receiver system.
Note: When discussing AMD FirePro™ R5000 workstation graphics, “local” refers to
the host PC/workstation/blade PC in which the graphics accelerator is installed, and
“remote” refers to the thin client at the user's end.
AMD FirePro™ R5000 workstation graphics uses PC-over-IP® (PCoIP®) protocol
developed by Teradici® for compression and transmission and must be hooked up to
a PCoIP thin client system that receives and decompresses the data. This thin client
receiver system is sold separately. AMD FirePro™ R5000 workstation graphics also
compresses and transmits the keyboard and mouse data back and forth between the
thin client and the host system.
Chapter 1
Getting Started
The AMD FirePro™ R5000 workstation graphics cards can support four remote
displays, when connected to a quad thin client receiver box.
Motherboard with available ×16 PCI Express® bus connection slot.
•
USB-based keyboard and mouse for the thin client.
•
Power supply capable of delivering 150W with one AUX PCIe 6-pin (2x3) power
connector.
•
Internet connection for installation software.
Any of the following (32- or 64-bit unless specified):
•
Windows® 8.
•
Windows® 7.
•
Windows Vista®.
•
Linux®.
•
For local hosted output, DisplayPort-compatible displays are supported.
•
For remote thin clients, display output is determined by the output capabilities of the
Teradici PCoIP receiver box.
•
For remote thin client quad-display support, a quad-display PCoIP receiver box with a
Tera2 chip is required.
1.3 Recording Serial Numbers
The serial number and 102 part number on the graphics card are required for product
registration and warranty (proof of purchase may be required). They are located on
a sticker on the back of the graphics card and are shown in boldface and underlined
in the illustration below.
Record these numbers in the space provided below and retain for future use.
1. Remove the graphics card from packing.
2. Locate the white label on the back of the graphics card.
This chapter details how to install your graphics accelerator in your system as well as
where to download associated software and drivers.
2.1 Installation Overview
Once you have determined that your system meets the minimum requirements,
perform the following tasks to install your new graphics accelerator. Detailed
installation instructions are provided in the following sections.
1. If you are replacing an existing graphics accelerator, uninstall the old graphics
driver and software.
Note: If you are using a motherboard containing an on-board graphics solution
and do not intend to use it as part of a multiple monitor display, disable it.
2. Turn off and disconnect your computer system.
Chapter 2
3. If needed, remove any old graphics accelerator(s).
4. Install the new graphic accelerator.
5. Reassemble and connect your computer system and display(s).
6. Start the computer system and install the AMD FirePro™ drivers and
configuration software.
7. Restart the computer system.
2.2 Installing a PCI Express Graphics Card
Please read all installation instructions completely before you begin.
If your computer has on-board graphics, you may need to disable it through the BIOS
configuration. For more information, see your motherboard documentation.
Note: Always handle a graphics card with care when adding or removing it from
your system.
•
Never twist or bend your card.
•
Avoid interference from the card's fan housing with mechanical hinges or clips
inside your system's chassis.
•
Make sure that the PCIe® card slot-locking mechanism on the motherboard is
unlocked or open before inserting or removing a card. Please consult your
motherboard manual for instructions, if necessary.
1. Turn off your computer, monitor(s), and other peripheral devices.
