Overview
For all BarcoMed Nio display controllers
The following resolution is also available when the OS is booted in VGA mode.
• 640x480 @ Default Refresh Rate, 16 colors
System Configuration Guidelines
Because of the low power consumption and low heat generation
of the BarcoMed Nio display controller, multiple controllers may
be installed in adjacent PCI slots or adjacent to other PCI boards.
Additionally there should be no need to modify either the PC’s
power supply and/or cooling system.
Barco display overview
MFGD 1218 display
The MFGD 1218 is a 18.1-inch grayscale LCD display with a native resolution of 1280 x 1024.
Its high-brightness, combined with image crispness and excellent viewing angle, makes it an ideal solution for a multitude of medical applications and environments.
Power saving
The display is equipped with a power saving system. When left idle for a certain time, the computer connected to the display, will power down the display.
The power saving system works with the standard Windows power saving and with the DPMS function on the Barco BarcoMed display controller (if installed in the PC).
Foot
The user can easily change the panel viewing angle, allowing to use the display in the optimal viewing conditions.
Also, the display panel can be easily detached from the foot, allowing to mount the panel to the wall.

Display controller installation
Caution: Wear a grounded, protective ESD strap during installation or handling of the display controller. Electrostatic charges can damage the display controller.
Prior to installing your BarcoMed Nio display controller(s) in your PC please take a few minutes to familiarize yourself with both the display controller(s) and the PCI slots in your computer.
Figure 3: The BarcoMed Nio display controller
Using the VGA capabilities of the BarcoMed Nio display controller
Prior to installing the BarcoMed Nio controller, decide if you are
going to use its on-board VGA capabilities. If you are, check the
setting of the Jumper at J-1 on the display controller (see figure 4
on page 24). By default, VGA should be enabled, on the top two
pins.
System manual E1 23
Display controller installation
Figure 4
If you decide to use a separate VGA monitor as your boot monitor, you must disable the BarcoMed Nio’s on-board VGA capabilities by moving the jumper to the bottom two pins.
Caution: To use multiple BarcoMed Nio controllers in a single host with VGA enabled, you should enable VGA on only ONE of the BarcoMed Nio display controllers and disable VGA on ALL the other BarcoMed Nio display controllers.
Examples of PCI slots
Although the BarcoMed Nio is a 64-bit board, it may be installed
in either a 64-bit or 32-bit PCI slot. However, installing it in a
32-bit PCI slot will result in a decrease in performance. Figure 5
on page 25 illustrates the types of slots so that you can correctly
identify which one to use for the BarcoMed Nio.
24 System manual E1
Display controller installation
Figure 5: PCI and RAID Controller Slots
Installing the BarcoMed Nio display controller
Install the BarcoMed Nio controller in your computer following these steps:
1. Turn off the power to your computer and disconnect the power cord, however make sure that the computer chassis is still grounded.
2. Remove the chassis cover according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Be sure to observe safety warnings.
3. If you have decided to use the on-board VGA capabilities of
the BarcoMed Nio (see Using the VGA capabilities of the
BarcoMed Nio display controller on page 23), you must
now remove any VGA display controller(s) that are currently
installed in the computer or disable any VGA controllers that
are integrated into your PC’s motherboard.
4. Install the BarcoMed Nio display controller into a free PCI slot, either 64-bit or 32-bit (see figure 5 above, for examples of slots). Be sure that the display controller is seated firmly in the slot.
5. Secure the card to the chassis with the PC’s I/O panel mounting screw, and replace the chassis cover.
System manual E1 25
Display controller installation
6. Connect the primary display to the connector marked “VID 1”
on the BarcoMed Nio display controller using the provided
DVI cable (see figure 6 below). For a dual-headed BarcoMed
Nio setup, connect the secondary display to the other
connector on the display controller.
7. Reconnect the power cord, turn on the power, and boot the system as usual.
Running multiple BarcoMed Nio Display Controllers in a single host
The physical order of the displays may vary when you are
running multiple BarcoMed Nio display controllers. This is due to
the PC’s PCI bus control in the system BIOS, and not the
BarcoMed display controller. It may become necessary,
depending on how your PC’s BIOS configures the PCI bus, to
switch your DVI display connections to achieve a linear desktop
configuration.

Precautions
Precautions
Precautions
• Keep your original packaging. It is designed for this display
and is the ideal protection during transport.
• Avoid reflections in the flat panel to reduce eye strain.
• Place the display on a strong and stable table or desk.
• Keep the display away from heat sources and provide
enough ventilation around the display.
• Do not scratch or apply pressure to the LCD panel. This may
damage the panel permanently.

Power connection
Power connection
To connect the power:
1. Connect the output of the 12V DC power supply to the DC input of the display.
BARCO
Figure 7
2. Connect one end of the proper power cable to the AC input of the 12V DC power supply.
Figure 8
3. Connect the other end of the power cord to a grounded power outlet.
We recommend to use an additional surge protector
between the power supply unit and the power outlet to
protect the equipment against sudden power variations.
