installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in
accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee
that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or
television reception,which can be determined byturning the equipment offand on, the user isencouraged to try to correctthe
interference by one or more of the following measures:

• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.

• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.

• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.

• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/television technician for help.
Shielded Cables: Connections between the workstation and peripherals must be made using shielded cables in order to

maintain compliance with FCC radio frequency emission limits. Networking connections can be made using unshielded

Note – Resolutions with refresh rates marked “d” are only suitable for LCDs and

other digital devices. These refresh rates have reduced blanking times which are
unsuitable for CRTs and other analog devices.

Resolutions with refresh rates marked “fsc” are only used for special “field
sequential color” displays.

Note – The Sun XVR-1000 graphics accelerator supports two streams of video

information. Refer to “Screen Resolution Matrix” on page 51 for pairs of resolutions
supported by both Stream A (13W3) and Stream B (HD-15, DVI-D, S-video).

Using Sun XVR-1000 Graphics
Accelerator With Other UPA Graphics
Boards

You can mix the Sun XVR-1000 graphics accelerator with other UPA frame buffers.

TABLE 1-3 lists rules in using UPA slots.

■ Sun XVR-1000 graphics accelerator and Sun Elite3D m6 requires a double-width

UPA slot

■ Sun Elite3D m3 and Sun Creator3D require single-width UPA slots

TABLE 1-3 Sun System UPA Bus Slots

System UPA Slot Widths

Sun Ultra 60 system 1 single-width UPA plus 1 double width UPA slot
Sun Ultra 80 system 2 single- or double-width UPA slots
Sun Blade 1000 system 2 single- or double-width UPA slots
Sun Blade 2000 system 2 single- or double-width UPA slots

Note – Xinerama requires that all frame buffers be identical and are configured to

the same resolution. (See Appendix C, “Xinerama.”)
