The Boot Console Interface Displaying and Setting the Monitor Type Setting the Monitor Type at Power On If you replace your computer's monitor with a different monitor type, you need to let the computer's firmware know you made this change. To do this, reboot the system and use either the automatic monitor selection process or the boot console interface's monitor command. The monitor command is described in the section "Setting the Monitor Type" in this chapter. The automatic monitor selection process is described in this section. Once you have rebooted the system by turning it off, wait for a short time for the hard disk drive's disk to stop spinning. Next, turn the computer on and watch for the Num Lock light to come on. NOTE It takes a short amount of time (approximately 40 seconds) after powering on the computer before the Num Lock light comes on. Wait two seconds after the Num Lock light comes on, which is near the end of the boot sequence, then press Tab to initiate the automatic monitor selection process. If your screen remains blank after two minutes of waiting for something to be displayed, see the section "Troubleshooting Monitor Problems" in this chapter. Otherwise, if you see information similar to the following displayed on your screen and it is the correct monitor type, press the Enter key to select it.
