Any input cables supplied are clearly labeled and will indicate which of the video
input connectors they relate to.

USB Ports are located on both the front and rear panels of the system. If the
intention is to mount the iolite12i in a rack, it may be more convenient to use the
USB ports on the front for easy access.

from system to system. If you have purchased an iolite 12i with video inputs, the
input connectors are located on the rear panel as shown below.

The printed diagram shipped with the iolite 12i shows the types of input and

connectors built into your specic system.

Your iolite 12i is factory congured to use a control screen connected to the system
internal graphics device. Connect the control screen to one of the two DisplayPorts
or the single HDMI connector on the motherboard panel on the rear of the iolite
12i. A control screen is initially required to set up the system including the operating
system (Windows 10).

If a control screen is unavailable, connect a single video wall display into either the
DisplayPort 1 or HDMI 1 output connector on the rear of the iolite 12i.

Connect the power cable into the rear of the iolite 12i (1) then plug into a mains

Once the system has been built and congured in our factory the operating system is
resealed, therefore when switching the system on for the rst time, the operating

system setup commences. You will be prompted to enter information to set up the
Windows 10 operating system.

There is no requirement for users to activate Windows 10, activation is done
automatically. An internet connection is required to complete the automatic
activation.

STEP 6 WINDOWS 10 SETUP

Once the Windows 10 setup is complete, the system will reboot and the control

screen will show a Windows desktop displaying the Display Driver Conguration Tool
(DDCT). The DDCT will guide you, step by step, through the conguration of the

graphics outputs, enabling you to quickly create one or more video walls.

On the nal stage of the conguration, the DDCT will recommend the optimum way

to connect your iolite 12i to your video wall displays.

A full description of the DDCT can be found in the User Guide located on the
Documentation Media.
