Setting the Monitor Type at Power On
If you replace your workstation’s monitor with a dif-
ferent monitor type, and do not set the workstation’s
graphics parameters by using the monitor command
before doing so, you need to perform the following:
If your keyboard connects to the PS/2 connector on
your system, wait 2 seconds after the Num Lock light
flashes near the end of the boot sequence, then press
Tab to initiate the automatic monitor selection process.
If you have a keyboard that connects to the HIL con-
nector on your system, press Tab every three seconds
during the boot sequence to initiate the automatic
monitor selection process.
Your system queries you for the new monitor type.
Select the new type by pressing
Enter. The system
queries you to confirm your selection. Press y to save
this monitor type.
If you don’t press y, the system stops cycling. You can
use the monitor graphics command in the configura-
tion menu to change monitor type.
