Canadian Department
of
Communications Compliance Statement
This equipment does
not
exceed Class A limits per radio noise emissions for digital apparatus, set
out
in the
Radio Interference Regulation
of
the
Canadian
Department
of
Communications. Operation in a residential
area may cause unacceptable interference to radio
and
TV
reception requiring the owner
or
operator
to take
whatever steps are necessary to correct the interference.

Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Statement
Warning: This equipment generates, uses,
and
can
radiate radio frequency energy
and
if
not
installed
and
used in accordance with the instruction manual,
may
cause interference to radio communications.
It
has been
tested
and
found to comply with the limits for a Class A computing device
pursuant
to
Subpart
J
of
Part
15
of
FCC
rules, which are designed to provide reasonable protection against such interference when operated in
a commercial environment. Operation
of
this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause interference in
which case the user
at
his own expense will be required to take whatever measures
may
be required to correct
the interference.
Instructions to User:
If
this equipment does cause interference to radio
or
television reception, which
can
be
determined by turning the equipment
off
and
on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by
one
or
more
of
the following measures:
• Reorient the receiving antenna.
• Relocate the device with respect to the receiver.
• Move the device away from the receiver.
• Plug the device
into
a different outlet so
that
device
and
receiver are
on
different
branch
circuits.
Properly shielded
and
grounded cables
and
connectors
must
be used for connection to peripherals
in
order
to
meet
FCC
emission limits.
Proper
cables are available from IBM authorized dealers.
IBM
is
not
responsible
for any radio
or
television interference caused by using
other
than
recommended cables
or
by unauthorized
modifications to this equipment.
It
is the responsibility
of
the user
to
correct such interference.
If
necessary, the user should consult the dealer
or
an
experienced radio/television technician for additional
suggestions. The user may find the following booklet prepared by the Federal Communications Commission
helpful:

Setting Up the Color Display
6091-023
The 6091-023
is
a raster display that can perform a variety
of
high resolution (1024
x
1024
pixels
or
1280
x
1024
pixels) graphics applications.
The display attaches to a processor with a compatible video interface to create
an
interactive graphics display station.
It
is
also possible to attach up to
five
view-only
displays to this graphics display station.

2-2 Setup
and
Operation for the IBM
6091
Color Displays
Connecting the Video Cables
Before you can-begin using the
6091
display, you must connect the video cables from
the graphics processor to the display.
Follow these procedures to connect the video cables
at
your display:
1.
Attach the red, green, and blue video cables from your processor to the bottom
three connectors on the back
of
the interactive display. These connectors are
marked for input cables. (See Figure 2-3
or
Figure 2-4 for the
input
symbol you
need to locate).
2.
If
using view-only displays, connect video cables to the top three connectors on
the back
of
the interactive display. These connectors are marked as
output
cables. (See Figure
2-3
or Figure 2-4 for the
output
symbol you need to locate).
3.
Attach the other end
of
these video cables to the input connectors
on
the back
of
the first view-only display. These connectors are marked for
input
cables.
4.
Repeat steps 2
and
3 for each additional view-only display used with your
system.

Color Displays
Connecting Your Display
to
an Adapter
The 6091-023 display can attach to a personal computer
or
a non-IBM Graphics
Processor
that
provides a compatible RGB video interface with a refresh rate
of
60
Hz.
(For
further information on these displays,
see
"Specifications" on page 4-1).
The 6091-019 display can attach to a
PC
or non-IBM graphics processor
that
pro-
vides a compatible RGB video interface, a refresh rate
of
60
or
67
Hz,
and
external
horizontal and vertical sync (in Mode 3 only).
Plugging
In
the Power Cord
When using the
6091
display with an IBM RT,
or
other non-5085/5086 graphics
processors, a wall power cord
is
shipped with your equipment. In this system combi-
nation, you must connect the plug to a wall outlet
and
not to the back
of
the
processor.
Follow these two steps to install the wall power cord:
1.
Plug the power cord into the power receptacle
at
the back
of
the display. (See
Figure
2-3
on page
2-3
for the location
of
this receptacle).
2.
Plug the three-prong end
of
the power cord into a wall outlet.
3.
It
is
important to have the graphics processor
and
the monitor plugged into the
same wall outlet.
