GPU Pass-through (1/2)

Requirements:• Plug in a monitor to NAS Local display • UltraVNC Remote desktop

• Can be installed from the QNAP Guest Tool

Benefits:• Supports DirectX and OpenGL graphic APIs • Increases processing power and improves display

output

Remote Desktop - QNAP Guest tools (1/3)

• Built-in to the VM Driver ISO image

7

Remote Desktop - QNAP Guest tools (2/2)

• Virtio Driver (compulsory)• Virtual Gigabit Ethernet• Virtual Disk Controller

• QNAP Guest agent• Collects VM IP address• Synchronizes the VM time

• Can correct the VM time after the VM is resumed

• UltraVNC®• When the VM uses GPU passthrough, the

VM needs an extra VNC server for accessing the console.

Networking mode

• IsolatedNot attaching any Ethernet interface to a Virtual Switch creates an isolated network.

• External-onlySpecify an Ethernet interface for a Virtual Switch to enable dedicated routing between virtual switches and external networks.

• BridgedAttaching an Ethernet interface to a Virtual Switch creates a bridged network.

NETWORK & VIRTUAL SWITCH

11

Overview• Integrates all network functions and enhances the user

experience• Network topology • Multi-selection for port-trunking• Supports Thunderbolt

• New feature: Virtual Switch• To build a flexible and simple network environment• Two modes supported: Private network and Switch mode

12

Network Topology• Easily check the network status and clearly see the

network topology

13

Multi-selection for port-trunking• Without the limited amounts of Ethernet connections

14

Thunderbolt• Enjoy the high-speed throughout of the Thunderbolt

interface

15

Virtual Switch: Private Network• It is easy to create a LAN environment by bridging your

devices via NAS. • DHCP Server included

16

Virtual Switch: Virtual Switch• Using uplink to connect NAS to Internet, and downlink to

connect your devices.
