HP B160L, B132L, B180L manual Displaying the Current Monitor Configuration

The Boot Console Interface

Displaying and Setting the Monitor Type

When a dual display graphics adapter (an adapter which has two video out- put connectors) is installed, the video connector on the left (when looking at the system from the rear) is graphics(NA) and the video connector on the right is graphics(NB). Where N is the slot number in which the graphics adapter is installed.

For example, a Dual Visualize Enhanced Graphics Card (A4451A) installed in option slot 1 would be graphics(1A) and graphics(1B).

NOTICE:There are graphics configuration restrictions of which you must be aware when adding graphics adapters or reconfiguring your graphics devices. For details on graphics configuration restrictions, see the subsection “ Graphics Configuration Restrictions” in Appendix B.
