Safety Instructions
To prevent damage to your Datapath product or injury to personnel operating the equipment, please
read the following safety precautions prior to operation. These instructions should be made available to
all those who will use and operate Datapath products.
Power Supply
All Datapath products require a mains power supply. This power supply must be disconnected when
equipment is being upgraded or relocated.
Cables
Do not expose cables to any liquids; doing so may cause a short circuit which could damage the
equipment. Do not place heavy objects on top of any cables as this can cause damage and possibly lead
to exposed live wires.
Ventilation
All computer equipment should be located in a well ventilated area. All ventilation holes on the comput-
er casing must be kept clear of any obstruction at all times. Failure to do so will result in the system over
heating and damaging your equipment.
Working Environment
The equipment should be located in an environment free from dust, moisture and extreme changes
in temperature and should be placed on a stable and solid work surface. Liquids (hot/cold drinks etc)
should not be placed near the equipment as spillage could cause serious damage.
Gas/Flammable Liquids
Electronic equipment should never be used in the presence of gas or any ammable liquid, doing so
could result in an explosion or serious re.
Smoke/Unusual Smells
Should you notice smoke or unusual smells being emitted from your computer, turn o and unplug the
system from the mains supply. The system should then be passed to a qualied technician for
inspection. Continued operation could result in personal injury and damage to property.
Maintenance
Maintenance should only be carried out by competent technicians, any Datapath plug-in cards that are
physically damaged should be returned to Datapath for repair using Datapath RMA procedures.
Disposal
At the end of life all Datapath products should be disposed of as per local laws and regulations dictate.
In UK contact Datapath to arrange disposal. Our WEE registration number is WEEE/AA0005ZR.

Hardware Installation
This section deals with installing ImageDP4 cards and spreading the Windows desktop across all the
screens. If you are intending to use the ImageDP4 cards with other Datapath products, you should follow
this section to get the Windows desktop working correctly rst.
System Requirements
• A Pentium PCI Express bus computer with sucient free PCIe slots.
• At least 1GByte of RAM.
• Windows® Server 2008, Windows® 7 (Server 2008 or Windows® 7 64-bit required for greater than 8
screen support).
Unpacking
Your packing box should contain the following items:
• The ImageDP4 PCIe plug-in card.
• Installation CD-ROM
8
Installing the ImageDP4
It is recommended that all ImageDP4 cards and any Vision cards are installed in the system prior to
installing the drivers. Otherwise as cards are installed the drivers may need to be reinstalled as the card’s
PCI bus numbers change
Note:
All plug-in cards are static sensitive and packed in antistatic materials. Please keep the card in its
packaging until you are ready to install.
It is recommended that you do not discard the packing box until you are completely satised with
the ImageDP4 card, and it is fully installed and working correctly. We also recommend that you
make note of the serial number of the card in a prominent place before you plug the card into the
computer. This should hasten any query should you need to contact our Technical Support Depart-
ment. The serial number is displayed on the card and the box label.
• Power down the PC (including peripherals), switch o at the mains and disconnect all the
cables connected to the computer, noting the positions for accurate reconnection. Remove the PC
cover
• Locate a vacant PCIe (x4 or above) slot for the ImageDP4 on the motherboard and remove the
backing plate (retain all screws). If in doubt consult your motherboard documentation to
correctly identify a PCIe (PCI-express) slot. If the card is forced into a 32 or 64 bit PCI or PCI-X slot it
will be irreparably damaged when the system is powered up and the warranty will be void.
• Remove the card from its packaging and secure it rmly into the empty PCIe slot. Extreme care
should be taken when securing the card into the slot as some motherboards may have
components that impede the siting of the card
Screw the card bracket to the back panel of the PC and replace the cover
Connect screens to all the outputs from the card. If there are other graphics devices in the system,
connect screens to them (even if you don’t intend to use all the outputs in your nal conguration)
Switch all the screens on then switch the machine on
You should see the boot messages on one of the screens. The screen on which the system will boot is
dependent on how the system is congured and the motherboard BIOS. It is not possible to control
which of the ImageDP4 outputs the system will boot on.

Installing the Display Drivers
Once the ImageDP4 card has been installed and the boot messages are appearing on the correct monitor,
you can start Windows.
Boot the system into Safe Mode then Log on as a user with administrative access rights.
The Found New Hardware Wizard will announce that new hardware has been found.
Do not use the Found New Hardware Wizard to install the ImageDP4 drivers.
Install the display drivers from the Software Installation Suite CD supplied with the ImageDP4 card.
If your nal conguration has less than four screens select the number of screens required, otherwise
select four screens.
Restart the machine.
When Windows starts up, the desktop should be spread over all the screens connected to the ImageDP4.
Installing the Additional ImageDP4 Cards
As the number of required screens increase, the likelihood of reaching a system limitation or encountering
a problem increases. The system limitations are the amount of address space available and the capacity of
the power supply.
Please consult Datapath support if you have any problems installing multiple cards.
Power
The amount of current a power supply can deliver on each voltage rail is limited. Often there is also a limit
on the total power.
Each ImageDP4 card requires 0.25A at +3.3V and 1.2A at +12V.
You can calculate the amount of current and the amount of power required for the ImageDP4 cards. For
example, the requirements for a 24-screen system of ImageDP4 cards is calculated as follows:
Current
+3.3V 6 x 0.25A = 1.5A
+12V 6 x 1.2A = 7.2A
Power
( 3.3V x 1.5A ) + ( 12V x 7.2A ) = 91.35W
These are the requirements for the ImageDP4 cards; you must take into account the requirements of all
the other devices in the system.
