Prerequisites

To support the HP VISUALIZE fxe graphics card, your workstation must meet the following prerequisites.

• Your workstation must be running one of the following revisions of the HP-UX operating system and have the appropriate Additional Core Enhancement (ACE) software bundle and Workstation Quality Pack installed:

— HP-UX revision 10.20 with the 9909 ACE software bundle (September 1999) — HP-UX revision 11.00 with the 9911 ACE software bundle (November 1999)

To verify that the proper ACE software bundle is installed on your workstation, perform the following steps:

1. At a command prompt, type the following

/usr/sbin/swlist -l bundle | grep ACE

2. Scan the output for either of the following, as appropriate for your workstation’s HP-UX operating system revision:

• The HP-UX 10.20 B6193DA ACE software bundle with the description:

Workstation ACE for HP-UX 10.20 (September 1999)

This line indicates that the September 1999 ACE software bundle is installed.

• The HP-UX 11.00 B3782FA ACE software bundle with the description

Workstation ACE for HP-UX 11.00 (November 1999)

This line indicates that the November 1999 ACE software bundle is installed
