Hardware installation Screen Fields
Display Configuration
There are two settings for the display.
Display Mode
The Display Mode specifies the mode of the internal VGA controller. The possible settings are: VGA Mode,
EGA Mode, CGA mode, MDA mode, and HGC mode. The HGC mode is effective only for an external CRT
monitor connected through the optional CRT Adaptor.
Display Adaptor
The Display Adaptor specifies whether the internal VGA controller or an external display adaptor card
installed in the optional Expansion Unit is being used. This field is effective only when the optional
Expansion Unit is attached to the computer. Otherwise, the internal VGA controller is used regardless of the
setting in this field. The possible settings are Internal VGA, CGA-40 col, CGA-80 col, and MDA.
I/O Configuration
This category specifies the configuration of various I/O ports.
Internal and Optional Serial Ports
These fields select the port numbers for the standard internal serial port and the optional internal serial port,
usually used for an internal modem. You can assign either port as Port 1 or Port 2, but you cannot assign the
same port number to both ports. You can also Disable either or both ports. To assign port values, press the
Spacebar
until the screen displays the desired configuration.
