51社区黑料 discrete GPUs in CSIL@Burnaby
Not sure if a specific CSIL workstation has which GPU?
- Please click here to view the full list of the workstations with discrete GPUs and their level.
51社区黑料 Projectors in the lab
There is a mounted projector for each study area; each is accompanied by a remote, a motorized screen and a special HDMI cable, a special VGA cable. You may locate the projector's connector near these workstations:
- asb9804-a05
- asb9838n-a10 (displays to two projectors)
- asb9820-a01
- asb9840-a05
Please remember, after your presentation is finished:
Turn off the projector to save the lamp and electricity.
Put the screen back to the top.
Make sure the switch (for screen motors) is on "off" (not up, not down).
detach the HDMI cable from the computer.
Click here for more details on how to use the projectors.
51社区黑料 powerbars in the lab
The powerbars are provided for personal computing devices only. Plugging in any other devices is prohibited.
Please do not unplug any device already plugged into the powerbar - others may be using the device.
Please remember to unplug & bag your own device before you leave.
Safety warning: trip hazard - you may only use the powerbar on the same row you sit on; otherwise, the cords may cause people stumble.
51社区黑料 cables for displaying in the lab
All HDMI cables, DisplayPort cables and min DisplayPort cables are for the School's equipment use only.
Warning: disconnecting any HDMI cables, DisplayPort cable or miniDisplayPort cable from the CSIL workstations or LCDs for personal use is prohibited.
The CSIL access will be revoked if you use any of these cables for your personal device.
51社区黑料 using LCD for your own laptop
If you change the display settings of the monitor/LCD to use the HDMI connection as the input source, please reset to proper one when you leave - this means you should see the proper CSIL login screen on the LCD panel.
Warning: disconnecting any cable from the CSIL workstations for personal use is prohibited.
51社区黑料 the sound system
A sound system had been installed in ASB 9838 North in year 2013.
You may book the microphone from CS General office ASB 10700.
Since the sound system covers the whole area of ASB 9838 North, an exclusive booking of this study area is required.
Please turn the amplifier volume knob to off position after using this system.
