Install inner
rail extensions
The picture and table below show how to attach and secure the inner rail extensions.
Align the hooks on the side of the chassis with the slots on the inner rail extension.
Slide the extension rail toward the front of the chassis.
Secure the extension rail with the screws provided.
Repeat these steps to attach the other extension rail on the other side of the chassis.
Next step: assemble outer rack rails.
Assemble outer
rack rails
Outer rack rails consist of two sections: a longer front section and a shorter rear section. Slide these
together to assemble the rail.
Identify the left and right outer rack rails by examining the ends (brackets). These
brackets bend outward as shown in “Rack rail components.”
Slide the front section of the outer rack rail into the rear outer rack rail as shown in
“Rack rail components.”
Repeat these steps to assemble the other outer rack rail.
Next step: install outer rack rails in a rack.

The picture and table below shows how to install the assembled outer rack rails in a rack.
Adjust the outer rack rails so that the outer
rails fit snugly in the rack.
Align the holes on the front of the outer rail
with the holes on the front of the rack and
secure with the screws provided (see A in
the adjacent picture).
Align the holes on the rear of the outer rack
rail with the holes on the rack and secure
with the screws provided (see B in the
adjacent picture).
Repeat these steps with the other outer rack
rail assembly.
Next step: Install the workstation in a rack.
To install an M1020W-Series Engineering Workstation in a rack:
1. While carefully lifting the workstation, slide the inner rail extensions into the front of the outer
rack rails.
2. Push the workstation into the rack until it clicks into the locked position.
This picture and table below show how to remove an M1020W-Series Engineering Workstation from
a rack.
1. Press the outer rack rail latch to release the workstation
chassis (the latch is shown in the adjacent picture).
2. Carefully slide the chassis forward off of the outer rack
rails and out of the rack.

This section shows how to connect cables. Numbers in parentheses correspond to labels shown in
“M1022W front panel” and in “M1022W rear ports and connectors” to ease identification.
Install the included mounting rails to the server chassis and then install the chassis
in a rack.
From the rear of the chassis, use the included video cables to route video from the
PCoIP host card to the GPU. Use the DP to mini-DP cables, DVI to
mini-DP cables, or both, depending on the workstation’s dual- or quad-video
configuration.
NOTE: Host card mini-DP ports are ordered from 1 (rightmost) to 4 (leftmost). Be
sure to use ports as shown below when connecting cables from the host card
to the GPU (using different ports can cause display issues).
Connect DP to mini-DP cables from the GPU to mini-DP ports 1 and 2
on the host card (see picture below).
Connect DVI to mini-DP cables from the GPU to mini-DP ports 3 and 4
on the host card (see picture below).
Connect an Ethernet cable to the dedicated PCoIP LAN port (20) and connect the
other end to a network router or switch.
Optionally, connect one or more Ethernet cables to the LAN ports (14) and (15)
on the rear of the chassis and connect the other end of the cable(s) to a network
router or switch.
Optionally, connect one or more Ethernet cables to the Dedicated IPMI port (11)
on the rear of the chassis and connect the other end of the cable to a network router
or switch.
From the rear of the chassis, connect the included power cable to the power
connector (21) on the rear of the server, and connect the power cable to a
power outlet.
From the front of the chassis, press the power button (7) to power on the server.

This section shows how to connect cables. Numbers in parentheses correspond to labels shown in
“M1024W front panel” and in “M1024W rear ports and connectors” to ease identification.
Install the included mounting rails to the server chassis and then install the chassis
in a rack.
From the rear of the chassis, use the included cables to route PCoIP host card video
to the GPU graphics card. Connect the included cables to the host card (18) and then
connect the other end of the cables to the graphics card (19 and 20, depending on
configuration). Use the Mini DisplayPort-to-DVI cables or the Mini DisplayPort-
to-DisplayPort cables, depending on workstation configuration.
Connect an Ethernet cable to the dedicated PCoIP LAN port (17) and connect the
other end to a network router or switch.
Optionally, connect one or more Ethernet cables to the LAN ports (13) and (14)
on the rear of the chassis and connect the other end of the cable(s) to a network
router or switch.
Optionally, connect one or more Ethernet cables to the Dedicated IPMI port (10)
on the rear of the chassis and connect the other end of the cable to a network router
or switch.
From the rear of the chassis, connect the included power cables to the power
connectors (8 and 9) on the rear of the server, and connect the power cable to a
power outlet.
From the front of the chassis, press the power button (7) to power on the server.
Press the power button (7) on the front of the chassis to power on and power off a workstation.
Standby power is present when a workstation is powered off.
M1020W-Series Engineering Workstations contain a PCoIP host card that requires an IP address. The
IP address can be assigned by a DHCP server or be a static IP address. Note that:
DHCP enabled is the default PCoIP host card configuration.
A fallback IP address is used when DHCP is enabled and the host card does not receive an IP
address within 120 seconds.
192.168.1.101 is the host card’s Fallback IP Address.
You can access the host card’s browser-based Administrative Interface to disable DHCP mode (or
to perform other configuration and session-related actions). Enter the DHCP-assigned or the
fallback IP address (shown above) in a Web browser on the same network as the workstation.
See PC-over-IP System User’s Guide for more information about host card and zero client
configuration.
Next step: You can now connect a zero client to the same network that the workstation is on and
connect the devices.

The M-Series Engineering Workstation BIOS includes two options for VGA video output: onboard
(which sends video to the onboard VGA adapter and rear VGA port) and offboard (which sends video
to the add-on video card, or GPU). The default VGA setting is offboard so that video is sent to the
add-on video card.
If the monitors connected to a workstation (through a PCoIP zero client or when connected directly to
the add-on video card) do not display video, check the VGA setting in the BIOS.
The table below shows how to connect components required for BIOS access and how to test a
workstation’s VGA output.
Connect a USB keyboard to the rear of the workstation. Ensure the workstation is
powered on.
Connect a VGA monitor to the VGA port on the rear of the workstation.
You see video (BIOS prompts or
OS desktop)
The workstation is sending video to the
onboard VGA adapter and not to the
add-on video card. Set the VGA
priority as shown in the section below.
You do not see video or video does not
progress past the System
Initializing message
Contact ClearCube Support.
The section below shows how to set VGA priority to the default (offboard) setting.
Setting the
BIOS VGA
option
This section assumes the workstation is sending video output to the VGA port. The table below shows
how to change the VGA setting to send video output to the add-on video card. This setting enables
users to view video when using a zero client, or when connecting a monitor to the workstation’s GPU
ports on the rear of the workstation.
Ensure that a keyboard and VGA monitor are connected to the workstation as shown
in the previous section.
Reset power or power off and power on the workstation.
When prompted, press the DELETE key to enter BIOS setup.
Use the keyboard arrow keys to select the Advanced tab.

Select PCIe/PCI/PnP Configuration and press the ENTER key.
Select VGA Priority and press the ENTER key.
Select Offboard and press the ENTER key.
Press the F4 key to save your changes and exit. Select Yes and then press ENTER.
NOTE: The connected VGA monitor will show POST messages and pause at an
animated System Initializing message. This is normal operation.
If installed, the workstation boots to the installed operating system.
You can now reconnect cables (see “M1022W cabling” or “M1024W cabling”) and connect to the
workstation from a zero client.
For local management, you can connect a USB keyboard and mouse to the workstation and then
remove the video cable connecting the PCoIP Host Card and the GPU on the rear of the workstation.
Then connect a monitor directly to the GPU.
