Video and Cabling Considerations for the DRAC 4P

Expansion Card

If your system has a Dell Remote Access Controller 4P (DRAC 4P) expansion card installed,

the monitor must be connected to the video connector on the DRAC 4P card—not to the system’s

integrated video connector. See the

Dell Remote Access Controller 4 User’s Guide

for the location

of the video connector on the DRAC 4P card.

Also, if you add a DRAC 4P card to the system, the card must be installed in slot 4, and the

interface cable that was supplied with the card must be attached from the card to the RAC

connector on the system board. See "System Board Connectors" in the

Installation and

Troubleshooting Guide

for the location of the system board RAC connector.

Enabling Video Hardware Acceleration in the Microsoft

Windows Server 2003 Operating System

system without adjusting the video hardware acceleration to its highest setting may cause the

system to become unstable under certain conditions. To adjust the video hardware acceleration,

follow these steps:

Click

Start

, point to

Control Panel

, and then click

Display

You can also right-click the desktop, and then click

Properties

Click the

Settings

tab in the

Display Properties

window, and then click

Advanced

Click the

Troubleshoot

tab, and move the hardware acceleration slider to

Full

Click

, and then click

If you reinstall or update the video drivers, or if you reinstall Windows Server 2003, then reset

the video hardware acceleration to its

Full

setting again.
