Introduction

Thank you for purchasing an Appian Graphics

multiple monitor graphics card. The Hurricane,

Typhoon and Rushmore graphics cards are classified

as part of the same family, all using the ATI

Technologies RV100 RadeonVE chipset. This guide

introduces you to the RV100 card architecture,

performance capabilities and included software. This

guide also contains an overview of HYDRAVISION

desktop display management software and other

important technical information. Be sure to read this

entire User’s Guide in order to get the most out of

your new graphics card.

Rushmore is available in a 4-port PCI model for

quad-monitor support, while Hurricane and Typhoon

are available in a 2-port PCI or AGP model for dual

monitor support. With multiple display channels,

these RV100 cards are designed to support multiple

monitor configurations in Windows NT 4.0, Windows

2000 and Windows XP.

Each of these cards is a single-slot, multiple monitor

graphics solution featuring a high-speed PCI or AGP

bus interface, up to 64MB of on-board DDR-SDRAM

(Double Data Rate - Synchronous Dynamic Random

Access Memory), and full VGA and SVGA

compatibility.

The RV100 chipset family of cards uses the high-

performance ATI Technologies RadeonVE graphics

processor for multiple monitor output. The Radeon

VE features two 300MHz RAMDACs, two digital

output ports and accelerated 2D and 3D graphics.

The card interface to the PCI bus (versions 2.2 and

above) or AGP bus (version 2.0 and above)

incorporates multi-function capabilities for complete

RV100 Family User’s Guide 2

multiple monitor operating system support. The

result is a fast, high-resolution display.

The high-resolution display, plug-and-play

compliance, support for multi-threaded, multiple

monitor DirectX hardware acceleration, support for

DVD motion compensation and color space

conversion makes these cards very well-suited for

sophisticated display tasks. The 60-pin low force

helix (LFH) custom connectors, y-cables and

adapters allow easy direct connection to either

analog or DVI digital display devices.

These graphics cards also feature Appian’s powerful

and easy-to-use HYDRAVISIONmultiple monitor

desktop management software for Windows NT 4.0,

Windows 2000 and Windows XP. HYDRAVISION

software allows the user to define the placement and

behavior of windows and dialog boxes in the multiple

monitor (extended desktop) display space, and

provides a variety of productivity tools designed

specifically for managing multiple monitors.

Included with your Graphics Card

Before using your RV100 hardware and software,

please verify that your package contains the items

listed below.

The PCI or AGP graphics card

An installation CD-ROM, includes User’s Guide

A Registration/Warranty Card

12” DVI Y-Cables (Qty. 2 for Rushmore, Qty.

1 for Typhoon, n/a for Hurricane)

Analog adapters (Qty. 4 for Rushmore, Qty. 2

for Typhoon, or Qty. 1 for Hurricane)

Please contact Appian Technical Support if you find

that any of these items missing or damaged. Fill out

3 Chapter 1: Introduction

and return the registration/warranty card to ensure

full support from Appian for your RV100 product.

To get the best performance from your RV100

graphics card, use the supplied Windows NT 4.0,

Windows 2000 or Windows XP drivers and

HYDRAVISION display management software. Each

operating system requires a separate program for

configuring displays. Be sure to use the appropriate

device drivers and configuration program for your

operating system.

Using Multiple Monitors

The RV100 chipset family of cards supports the use

of multiple monitors in Windows NT 4.0, Windows

2000 and Windows XP. Using a multiple monitor

configuration is an efficient and cost-effective way to

increase the size of your computer display area,

commonly called the desktop. With multiple

monitors, you can view a single application as a

large window stretching across several monitors, or

you can display a different application on each

monitor.
