4
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.
5
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.
6
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.

Power option
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.
PCoIP host card settings
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.

Overview
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.
Testing VGA output
The table below shows how to connect components required for BIOS access and how to test a workstation’s VGA output.
Step
Action
1
Connect a USB keyboard to the rear of the workstation. Ensure the workstation is powered on.
2
Connect a VGA monitor to the VGA port on the rear of the workstation.
If ...
Then ...
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.
Step
Action
1
Ensure that a keyboard and VGA monitor are connected to the workstation as shown in the previous section.
2
Reset power or power off and power on the workstation.
3
When prompted, press the DELETE key to enter BIOS setup.
4
Use the keyboard arrow keys to select the Advanced tab.

Setting the BIOS VGA option (continued)
Step
Action
5
Select PCIe/PCI/PnP Configuration and press the ENTER key.
6
Select VGA Priority and press the ENTER key.
7
Select Offboard and press the ENTER key.
8
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.
