1. DIO DP Emulator carries out the simulation on four DP ports of BE170 BE171 BE173 respectively Current Status indicates that the simulation on all DP ports is enabled or disabled Disable means the simulation does not work All DP ports will not be simulated and stay on the usual status Enable means the simulation works The signal of the specific DP port will be simulated I When the simulation works on the specific DP port the signal will be simulated Even though the DP port is disconnected to the screen the system still detects the connection between them Il If you use more than one DP port and enable the DP Emulator on the specific DP port even though the cable connected the DP port to the screen is removed the system still de tects the connection between the DP port and the screen and will not rearrange the order of all DP ports 111 Customers settings will be memorized when the DP Emulator is disabled While restarting the system or shutting down and restarting the system this tool will automatically carry out the memorized settings 54 eee EeE_ LEEE Chapter 4 Supported Software www dfi com Chapter 4 2 Status Adobe Acrobat Reader 9 3 To install the reader click Adobe Acrobat Reader 9 3 on the main menu Enable DP Emulator Curent Status Enable DP Emulator Curent Status E DPO DPO Disabled DPO DPO Enabled 1 Click Next to install or click F DP1 DP1 Disabled DP1 DP1 Enabled C2.
