Hardware Installation

Before attempting to install the X350/X550 kit, verify that your Windows or Linux OS is supported by vSpace, and that the OS is properly installed, updated and all devices viewable in the OS device manager are working properly. Also, check to be sure your
package includes one X550 (or X350) PCI card, five (or three) XD2 devices, the vSpace installation CD, and ten (or six) monitor mounting screws.

Install the X-series PCI Card

1. Disconnect all peripheral and power cables from the host PC.
2. Remove the host PC system cover.

 

3. Locate an available PCI slot for the X-series PCI card.

4. Insert one PCI card and secure the bracket to the chassis with a retaining screw
(or other fastening mechanism specific to your PC). Note: The X550 is a fullheight PCI card, and the X350 is a half-height PCI card.Optional

[ Optional installation of a second PCI card (matched pairs only)
If the system has a second available PCI slot and you wish to use a second X-series kit, insert the second card into the available slot and secure the card to the chassis. Note that only matched sets of cards are supported. For example, you can use two X550 cards in a PC or two X350 cards. You cannot use both an X350 and an X550 card in the same system.]


5. Replace the system cover and reconnect all peripheral and power cables.

Connect Peripheral Devices
Connect each access device to a port on the PCI card using high-quality Cat 5e or shielded Cat 6 cables. These must be standard, straight (not crossover) cables.
Maximum cable length between the X-series card and an access device is:
Standard Category 5e UTP cable: up to 5 meters
Standard Category 6 STP or FTP cable: up to 10 meters

[ WARNING: You must NOT attach any Ethernet networking equipment, such as a hub, switch or router, between the access device and the PCI card. The signals being sent from the X350/X550 PCI card to the XD2 device are NOT Ethernet.]

Connect the desired peripheral devices to each XD2 access device. If you plan to use any USB devices, connect these directly to the host PC – these can then be assigned to each XD2 station with the vSpace software.

Using two screws (provided) you can attach the XD2 to the back of an LCD monitor that has VESA-compliant mounting holes, as shown below.
