 MGP /PCI VGA DISPLAY CARDS
PURPOSE MGP

The M G P card displays system information for service by means of a TTL monitor port CN1.
During system operation a TTL monitor interfaced with this board allows the service engineer to see the
actual functions and modes being used in the software.i.e., Top of the fluoro loop. This statement tells
you the system is in the fluoro mode waiting for the fluoro start command, Snapshot, or pulse fluoro
command to start acquiring images. There are many different modes and functions in the system but by
watching the TTL monitor screen while testing the system you can determine what mode or function are
causing system failures.

The Parallel Printer Port is not used.

The M G P card is a monochrome graphics adapter plus printer interface and works under a high speed
data bus system, such as the A T and 386,486 or Pentium machines.

NOTE: The M G P mono display card is not used with systems having the RDC2000 board. Please see
V G A display card information for use with RDC2000 board.

It has the following features in one adapter:

1. IBM Monochrome Display Adapter compatible
2. Hercules Graphics Card compatible
- Text mode 80H x 25V
- Graphics mode 720H x 384V
3. Support direct-Drive Monochrome monitors (TTL).
4. Parallel Printer Port is not used at this time.

Example of two different types of M G P display adapters.

The M G P display card can not be repaired in the field. Replacement of the card recommended
if the board fails.

PCI Series Graphic/ Video display cards

PURPOSE PCI VGA

The PCI display card provides the necessary interface to display the BIOS configuration information
and for software upgrades and service related diagnostics.

The IMS2760 Digital image system when used with the RDC2000 D S A / C I N E board makes it necessary
to use a PCI series V G A video display card. The PCI requirements of the RDC2000 board also make the
selection of this video display card critical.

Removal and replacement of this board with a new board is critical. The base timing and memory
allocation and PCI interrupts can cause the VIP/UPS, and RDC2000 boards to not function properly.
Therefore you must only install new PCI V G A video display card that are provided form IMS to ensure
the best possible performance and operation of the image system.

The boards complies with the PCI Specification 2.0: Zero wait State Burst Mode, and Device auto
configuration.

The board Supports V G A resolutions from 1280 X 1024 with 16 colors to 640 X 480 with 16.7 million
colors. The board requires the use of a V G A monitor mono or color. Color is preferred as later revisions of
software will take advantage of the color display in service functions in conjunction with the C-Arm.

IMPORTANT:
The PCI VGA boards use the same 15-pin (DB15) cable available from monitor manufactures to
interface with the IBM PS/2 computers. Using an incorrect cable may result in damage to the monitor
and/or adapter.

To replace the PCI V G A card please read the following.

1) Turn of all power.

2) Disconnect the monitor cable form the DB15 connector at the bottom or rear of the image
system if service monitor is attached.
3) Remove cover from computer case.
4) Remove hold down screw located at the outside edge of the board near the bottom of the
case.
5) Remove with caution do not force or bend the board when removing this may cause damage to
the PCI bus adapter on the C P U mother board.
6) Install the new board in the same place as the pervious board and make sure you do not force
the board or damage the PCI bus adapter.
7) Replace the holding screw.
8) Reinstall the computer cover
9) Reinstall the V G A monitor cable to the rear of the board and secure if needed for service.
10) turn on power when all cable and covers are reinstalled.
