Mosaic Recommended Connections 1 2 3 4 5 6 DA-06880-001_v02 | iv MOSAIC GRID LAYOUT The NVIDIA® Mosaic technology layouts are built on a grid of display devices with a defined number of rows and columns. No matter the topology the display numbering starts with 0 and maps into the grid starting at the top left display, filling out the first row and then moving down the rows. As an example, a 15 display Mosaic in a 3 rows by 5 column configuration would enumerate like this: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 Figure 1. 15 Display Mosaic Configuration Mosaic Recommended Connections DA-06880-001_v02 | 1 GPU AND CONNECTOR NUMBERING GPU CONNECTOR NUMBERING The graphics processing unit (GPU) port numbering on NVIDIA Quadro® and NVIDIA NVS™ boards start at the bottom left of the board, goes up the column of connectors and then over to the other column if there is one. Figure 2. GPU Connector Numbering Note: The display numbering is not always the same as the numbers stamped on the bracket. Mosaic Recommended Connections DA-06880-001_v02 | 2 GPU and Connector Numbering GPU NUMBERING The ordering of multiple GPUs in the system is determined by the workstation they are placed in. The system BIOS controls the enumeration order, so it will vary between workstation vendors. In general GPUs are enumerated starting with PCI slot with the smallest PCI Express number. The user manual or label on the workstation chassis will include a PCI Express slot map. GPU 0 GPU 1 GPU 2 Figure 3. GPU Numbering The configureMosaic utility can be used to identify the GPUs. Download, and save it, from http://www.nvidia.com/object/mosaic-utility. Connect one display to each GPU. Open a command prompt and run the following commands. The display that is illuminated will be connected to the GPU requested: GPU GPU GPU GPU 0: 1: 2: 3: configureMosaic configureMosaic configureMosaic configureMosaic Mosaic Recommended Connections set set set set rows=1 rows=1 rows=1 rows=1 cols=1 cols=1 cols=1 cols=1 out=0,0 out=1,0 out=2,0 out=3,0 DA-06880-001_v02 | 3 CONNECTING DISPLAYS TO GPUS When connecting the displays, start with the top left display in the Mosaic grid. Connect it to the bottom left display connector (Connector 0) on the first GPU (GPU 0). Move down the row in the Mosaic filling the displays in GPU 0 before moving to the next GPU.
