Cabling diagrams

This section shows how to connect cables between the GPU and PCoIP Host Card for each M1032W configuration. Connect video cables on the rear of your workstation according to the configuration you ordered. In the table below, DP indicates DisplayPort and Mini-DP indicates mini-DisplayPort.
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).

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

M1032W 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.

Accessing the BIOS

This section shows how to access the M1032W BIOS. It assumes the BIOS is set to the default video configuration, which sends video to the off-board, add-on video card. Before performing these steps, note the MAC address of the PCoIP host card in the workstation to which you are connecting.
Step
Action
1
Connect a zero client to a network switch on the same subnet as the M1032W workstation. (See your zero client’s Quick Start Guide for more information about setting up your zero client.)
2
Connect a keyboard to the rear of the workstation.
3
Power on the workstation. Press the DELETE key for approximate 35 seconds to enter BIOS setup.
4
From the zero client’s on-screen display, click Connect.
5
When the zero client shows the discovered PCoIP host cards, select the MAC address of the host card in the workstation, and then click OK. When the zero client establishes a PCoIP session, it displays the BIOS setup screen.
The section below shows how to change the workstation’s VGA output setting so you can connect a local VGA monitor.

Enabling VGA output

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, which sends video to the add-on video card.
The table below shows how to change the VGA Priority setting so users can view video from a locally-connected VGA monitor.
Step
Action
1
Begin by accessing the BIOS as shown in “Accessing the BIOS” above. After accessing the BIOS, continue by performing the steps below.
2
From the BIOS setup screen, use the keyboard arrow keys to select the Advanced tab.
3
Select PCIe/PCI/PnP Configuration and press the ENTER key.
4
Select VGA Priority and press the ENTER key.
5
Select Onboard and press the ENTER key.
6
Press the F4 key to save your changes and exit. Select Yes and then press ENTER. If installed, the workstation boots to the installed operating system.
7
Connect a VGA monitor to the rear of the workstation. You can now view video from the connected VGA monitor.

More local management options

Note that for local management, you can connect a USB keyboard and mouse to the workstation, remove the video cable connecting the PCoIP Host Card and the GPU on the rear of the workstation, and connect a monitor directly to the GPU.
