Why can I not see video output (VM console) when using NVIDIA® GPU cards in a TS-2888X after the GPU cards have been assigned to virtual machines?

Due to the hardware design of the TS-2888X, when using NVIDIA® graphics cards the GPU pass-through function of Virtualization Station is limited by the following circumstances:
- Only PCIe slots 1, 3, 5 and 7 can be used for GPU pass-through.
- If there are multiple cards installed (including AMD and NVIDIA®) only the lowest-numbered PCIe slot can be used for GPU pass-through with NVIDIA® cards. For example, if there are graphics cards installed in PCIe slot 1 (AMD) and PCIe slot 3 (NVIDIA®), then the NVIDIA® card cannot be used with GPU pass-through. You must install the NVIDIA® card in the PCIe slot 1, and the AMD card in PCIe slot 3.
- GPU pass-through can only be used for Windows-based VM with a fully-installed Windows operating system.
