viii IBM CP20 Workstation Connection Device: Installation Instructions
Chapter 1. Introduction
The IBM®CP20 Workstation Connection Device Type 3096 is intended for use with
a host system, such as the IBM BladeCenter HC10 Type 7996 host system. The
following illustration shows the light emitting diodes (LEDs), controls, and
connectors on the front of the connection device.
Note: The illustrations in this document might differ slightly from your hardware.
See the documentation that comes with your system for additional
instructions.
Attention: The connection device is designed to operate in a vertical orientation,
as shown in the illustrations. Operating it in any other orientation might cause
damage to the connection device.
Blade server power LED: When this LED is lit, it indicates that the hosted blade
server is powered on.
Note: When the blade server power LED is blinking, the IBM CP20 Workstation
Connection Device is connected to the hosted blade server, but the blade
server might be in standby or hibernation mode.
CP20 power LED: When this LED is lit, it indicates that the IBM CP20 Workstation
Connection Device is on.

Session connection LED: This LED indicates the status of the session between
the CP20 workstation and the host system. When this LED is:
v On: A session has been established with the host system.
v Off: Indicates that no session has been established.
Remote host system on/off: Press this button to power-on and connect to the
host system or to power-off the host system when a session is connected.
Disconnect from the host system button: Press this button to disconnect the IBM
CP20 Workstation Connection Device from the host system.
Note: Host system refers to a remote workstation such as the BladeCenter HC10,
Type 7996, that the workstation connection device is designed to be used
with.
USB ports: Connector for a USB device, such as a mouse or keyboard.
Speaker/headphone: Connect a speaker or headphones to this connector.
Microphone: Connect a microphone to this connector.
Note: Audio function is disabled by default. To enable audio, see “Enabling HD
audio” on page 14.
2 IBM CP20 Workstation Connection Device: Installation Instructions

Chapter 2. Installing the CP20 Workstation Connection Device
1. Connect a monitor to the workstation connection device. The workstation
connection device can support up to two monitors.
v Single monitor: If you will be using a single monitor, connect the monitor to
DVI connector 2. DVI connector 2 is towards the bottom of the rear of the
workstation connection device.
v Dual monitors: If you will be connecting two monitors to the workstation
connection device, the monitor connected to DVI connector 1 will be the
primary monitor.
Note: See “Configuring single and dual monitor support” on page 6 for
additional information about configuring monitors on the workstation
connection device.
2. Connect a USB keyboard and mouse to any of the USB connectors on the front
or on the rear of the workstation connection device. There are four USB ports
on the workstation connection device, including two on the front and two on the
back.
Note: The keyboard and mouse sensitivity can be changed. See “Adjusting
keyboard and mouse sensitivity” on page 14 for information on how to
change the keyboard and mouse sensitivity.
3. Connect an Ethernet cable to the LAN connector on the back of the connection
device. Complete the connection at the switch module associated with the
compression card Network Interface Controller (NIC) in the host system. The
compression card is also known as the I/O graphics and transmission adapter.
Note: By default, the connection device communicates with the host system
through the switch module installed in I/O bay 2 of the BladeCenter unit.
To use a switch module in I/O bay 1, change that setting by booting the
host system, then press F1 to enter the Configuration/Setup Utility. Select
Advanced Setup, then Ethernet I/O Module Configuration. Use the
arrow keys to change which I/O module should interface with the
compression card in the host system.
4. Connect any optional devices:
v Connect any other USB devices to any of the USB connectors on the front or
rear of the connection device.
Note: Audio function is disabled by default. To enable audio, see “Enabling
HD audio” on page 14.
v Connect speakers to the speaker or headphone jacks on the front or the rear
of the connection device.
v Connect a headphone to the speaker or headphone jack on the front or the
rear of the connection device.
5. Connect the monitor power cord to an ac power source.
6. Connect the connection device power cord to a properly grounded ac power
source.
7. Turn on the monitor; then, turn on the connection device by pressing the
connection device on/off switch to the on position.

Configuring single and dual monitor support
Your connection device features two digital video interface (DVI) connectors. See
the tables below that apply for your connection device to determine which
connectors you want to use, then connect the monitor or monitors to the connection
device. If the signal cable on your monitor has a VGA-type connector, you can use
a DVI-to-VGA cable connector to connect the monitor to the connection device DVI
connector.
Note: When using a CRT monitor, the maximum video resolution for the connection
device is 1280x1024 at 85Hz.
When using dual monitors, you can use both monitors to display an extended
desktop. You will need to configure the video driver in the operating system on the
host system for dual monitor support. For more information on configuring the video
driver to use dual monitors, see the documentation for the operating system that is
installed on the host system.
Note: Enabling dual monitor configuration disables video redirection from a host
blade workstation to the management module on the BladeCenter unit. This
affects using KVM on the host blade workstation for remote control and for
using a console attached to the management module on the BladeCenter
unit.
The following three tables describe the functionality of the connection device when
connecting to a host system with the NVIDIA FX 1600M graphics adapter.

Notes:
1. Monitor emulation must be enabled in the compression card settings on the host
system. Monitor emulation is enabled when configuring a session, for more
information see Chapter 3, “Setting up the connection between the connection
device and the host system,” on page 9. When monitor emulation is enabled,
KVM access for the host system is not available.
2. When using dual monitors, the primary video connector is the top DVI
connector. You must configure the desktop to support dual monitors through the
video driver settings in the operating system.
3. The bottom DVI connector must be used when administrator access is also
required through remote control or KVM. For remote control and KVM access,
note the supported resolutions listed in the remote control session. See the
"IBM BladeCenter Management Module User's Guide" for a list of supported
resolutions when accessing the BladeCenter unit using remote control through
the management module.
