2nd folding rig set up

chapper · 05-January-07, 03:19 PM

Hi all, Could I get some help for setting up a 2nd PC for folding, really don't quite know how to go about it.
My main rig (P4630, 2 x 80gig Sata, XP Pro) is folding now. I have an older rig that I'd like to use folding at the same time. The specs are ample enough for this.
My 2 monitors are set up with UltraMon & my maing rig is on a wireless setup with my laptop.

Do I need to add a keyboard & monitor to the 2nd folding PC?

Should I connect it to the wireless router?

Do I need to use a KVM switch? Hope not because I'm as poor as the proverbial church mouse!
Please give me a hand here so I can advance in helping PimRig, Stanford & my team.
Thanks

If you just let it run, you can run it without anything (that is, monitor, mouse and keyboard) after you've set it up. You'd need to have it connected to the internet obviously, but it doesn't matter if it's wireless or not.

You can have it start Folding "Automatically" upon start up, so your covered there, and like he said, once its all set up, you don't need a monitor or keyboard connected to it.

I would however, keep checking your stats on a semi regula basis to make sure it's still cranking out the work units, every once in a blue moon, I have found a "Borg" tends to get hung up and won't upload or download work units and may need some attention!

Here is my favorite place too check my stats, it can show "Active users" and other things like your "Trends" for production, that indicate how long it will take to pass (Or be passed) other members of the team.
