Before You Begin

Personal and

product safety

Observe the following.

WARNING: Disconnect the computer’s power supply from its AC power source

before performing any installation steps or maintenance, including

opening or moving the device. Failure to do so can cause personal

injury, cause damage to devices, or both.

CAUTION: Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage upgrade kit components

and the computer in which you are installing a kit. Be sure to wear an

anti-static wrist strap to prevent ESD, or take safety measures (such

as touching the anti-static bag containing the host card) before

touching any components.

Firmware

requirements

Ensure that host cards and zero clients

use the same version TERA firmware

if updating a V5340, use compatible versions of TERA and COMM firmware, and

only use firmware from ClearCube Support.

See PC-over-IP Device Firmware Support and Compatibility Guide and PC-over-IP

System User’s Guide and on the ClearCube Support site for information about firmware

support and for instructions about upgrading firmware.

Driver

installation

prerequisite

dual- and quad-monitor systems, the V5320 GPU driver should be the only graphics

driver on the A6105D.

NOTE: Before removing any graphics drivers, ensure that the associated

hardware is installed on the blade. Many graphics drivers require that the

associated hardware is present for successful removal.

Required items

Before installing the upgrade kit, be sure to have

a Phillips screwdriver, and

V53x0 drivers
