Connecting the Monitor

   

17

The Slave Renderer option is not available for Lustre with Incinerator.

Connect the monitor to the DVI connection on the Lustre workstation’s graphics card. You can 
use the DVI extender cable (DL.CAB-HDTV-FO-82-MM) to extend the cable to a machine 
room.

h

Use the DVI cable to connect the DVI OUT1 port of the NVIDIA® Quadro® FX5500 
graphics card to the DVI-D IN port of the monitor.

Although the DVI fiber cable connectors are identical, their functions are different. 

Ensure that the connector labeled Send is connected to the Lustre workstation, and that the 

connector labeled Receive is connected to the monitor.
