After Installing a Video Memory Upgrade

NOTE

Configuration Switches on the MGA Video Adapter

1Switch on the PC.

2When Windows is running, select HP User Tools.

3Click on the Video Mode button and follow the screen messages to change the video resolution and the number of colors displayed.

If your display (monitor) is an HP Ultra VGA 1600 (D2800A) and you have the Matrox MGA Millennium video adapter, the 1600 x 1200 resolution may not be highlighted, although it is supported. To select it you must run the Monitor Selection utility. The following message will be displayed:

“DDC-compliant monitor detected.

Use of monitor program is not recommended. Test facility is not available.

Are you sure you want to over-ride DDC?”

1Click on OK, then select the D2800A display, save the configuration and exit.

2Restart Windows.

3Start HP User Tools.

4The resolution 1600 x 1200 will now be highlighted and you can select it.

There are two configuration switches on the video adapter board. Normally the settings for these switches do not need to be changed, both are set to OFF. However, if you need to upgrade the VGA BIOS, you will need to set switch 1 to ON temporarily to enable the upgrade to be performed.

Setting switch 2 to ON enables you to work in dual-screen mode. To work in dual-screen mode you will either need to use a VGA in another slot, or another Matrox video adapter board for output to second monitor.

Contact your HP representative for further information about upgrading the VGA BIOS.
