Boot Console Handler Displaying and Setting the Monitor Type Displaying and Setting the Monitor Type The workstation ships from the factory preset to use a monitor with a specific resolution and frequency. If you replace your workstation's monitor with a different type of monitor, you must reconfigure your workstation to support the new monitor. The Monitor Command The monitor command lets you change your workstation's graphics configuration. This command is available in the Configuration Menu of the Boot Console Handler. NOTE The monitor command lets you change your workstation's graphics configuration before you replace your monitor. For information about changing the configuration after you replace your monitor, go to the section "Changing Your Monitor Type" in the "Setting the Monitor Type at Power On" on page 173. To display the current graphics and console information, enter the following command: Main Menu: Enter command> configuration Configuration Menu: Enter command> monitor The correct usage for setting the graphics configurations is: monitor graphics_path type where valid graphics_path parameters are: graphics(1) - Graphics adapter installed in option slot 1. graphics(2) - Graphics adapter installed in option slot 2 (primary slot). graphics(3) - Graphics adapter installed in option slot 3. graphics(4) - Graphics adapter installed in option slot 4 (secondary slot). graphics(5) - Graphics adapter installed in option slot 5. graphics(6) - Graphics adapter installed in option slot 6. and type is the numerical monitor type as shown with the monitor list command. See "Setting the Monitor Type" on page 172 for a list of types. For example, an HP VISUALIZE-EG graphics card (A4977A) installed in option slot 2 would be graphics(2). Note that you can have graphics(1) through graphics(6) for your graphics_path; however, there are two preferred I/O slots available for graphics cards in the workstation. Those slots are slots 2 and 4. Slot 2 is the primary graphics card slot, and slot 4 is the secondary graphics card slot. NOTE No space/blank characters may be used in the graphics_path names. 170 Chapter 6
