Setting up and Displaying the Mobile Workstations in
Room 111- Step-by-Step
Instructions for using the Room 111 mounted projectors to display images and output sound from
the Lab's PC and Mac mobile workstations.
0.0
Initial setup
0.1 Move computer into 111 with the following items on the cart or in the
cart's basket. Each mobile workstation has its own set of labeled
cables for 111.
• 2 beige extension cables: 1 attached to the cpu (adapter needed
for Mac) --1 attached to the monitor cable. These extensions
should remain connected to the cpu and the monitor cable since they
allow more flexibility in positioning the workstation. These cables can
also be used with the mobile projectors.
• A split, dark gray cable with one end that connects to the wall
jack, and, a) a short length that connects to the extension leading
to the monitor cable, and b) a longer length that connects to the
extension leading to the cpu. This cable is only used in 111.
• A thin, black cable that connects the wall jack speaker port with
the speaker port on the cpu. This cable is only used in 111.
0.2 See Figure A
Two wall jacks are beneath the white board near the podium; one
labeled CPU 1, the other CPU 2. These are the jacks to connect the
projectors to the computers using the split, dark gray cable. Either jack
may be used.
To their right of are two jacks labeled 101D1 and 101D2. These jacks
are for connecting the computers to the network (including Internet
access) via network cables and either may be used, no matter whether
CPU 1 OR CPU 2 is used.
Plug the computer's power cord into the wall outlet to the right of the
101D1 and 101D2 jacks.
