before switching it on.

To avoid electric shocks, do not open the power supply. There are no

user-serviceable parts inside.

This HP VISUALIZE Personal Workstation is a class 1 laser product. Do

not attempt to make any adjustment to the laser units.

Important Ergonomic Information

It is strongly recommended that you read the ergonomic information before using you HP

VISUALIZE Personal Workstation. Open the Start menu in the task bar and select HP Info.

prevent such damage from occurring, observe the following precautions during board

unpacking and installation:

• Stand on a static-free mat.

• Wear a static strap to ensure that any accumulated electrostatic charge is discharged

from your body to ground.

• Create a common ground for the equipment you are working on by connecting the

static-free mat, static strap, and peripheral units to that piece of equipment.

• Keep uninstalled printed circuit boards in their protective antistatic bags.

• Handle printed circuit boards by their edges, once you have removed them from their

protective antistatic bags.

Synergy+™ AGP graphics board ﬁtted in the AGP accessory slot. There is a total of 8 MB

of video Synchronous Graphics RAM (SGRAM) memory installed on the graphics board

which cannot be upgraded.

The Permedia 2A graphics processor communicates directly with the Pentium III

processor along the AGP bus.

Features

• Optimized all-round capabilities in 2 D and 3 D.

• High resolution with 1900 x 1200 pixels in HiColor.

• 2D performance and high-power 3D hardware acceleration.

• Multi-screen support for Windows NT (with PCI ELSA GLoria Synergy+ graphics

boards).

• Supports 16: 10 wide-format monitors.

Speciﬁcations

• Supports basic AGP mode (66 MHz).

• Serial EEPROM video BIOS interface (up to 64 KB).

• AGP ATX form factor compliant.

• PERMEDIA 2A graphics processor.

• Pixel clock maximum frequency of 250 MHz.

• 3D coprocessor. Integrated GLINT Delta graphics setup processor.

• 3D standards. Hardware accelerated OpenGL, HEIDI, Direct3D.

• 4 MB of video SGRAM memory installed on the graphics board. Added to this, there is a

pre-installed 4 MB SO_DIMM video memory module, giving a total of 8 MB (this is the

maximum amount of video memory possible).

• Standards: VESA Video BIOS, DPMS, DDC2B, Plug & Play.

• Video standards: DirectDraw, ActiveMovie 1.0, DirectShow

(ActiveMovide 2.0).

Video Memory

The video memory, also known as SGRAM, is a local block of RAM for holding major data

structures: Frame Buffer (double buffer), Z-Buffer and T-Buffer (Texture Buffer). The

Frame Buffer holds one frame steady on the screen while the next one is being processed,

while the Z-buffer stores depth information for each pixel.

Available Video Resolutions

The number of colors supported is limited by the graphics device and the video memory.

The resolution/color/refresh-rate combination is limited by a combination of the display

driver, the graphics device, and the video memory. If the resolution/refresh-rate

combination is set higher than the display can support, you risk damaging the display.

The tables below summarize the 3D video resolutions which are supported.

Installing the Video Driver

For instructions on installing the latest video driver for the ELSA GLoria Synergy+

graphics board, go to the following web site:

www.hp.com/go/visualizesupport

This driver can also be found in the HP Tool and Support CD-ROM shipped with your

system.
