Displaying and Setting the Monitor Type
The workstation ships from the factory preset to use a monitor with a specific resolution and frequency. If the workstation’s monitor is replaced with a different type of monitor, you may have to reconfigure the workstation to support the new monitor.
The Monitor Command
The monitor command lets you change the workstation’s graphics configuration. This command is available in the Configuration Menu of the Boot Console Handler.
NOTE The monitor command lets you change a workstation’s graphics configuration before you replace the monitor. For information about changing the configuration after you replace the monitor, go to the section “Setting the Monitor Type at Power On” found in this chapter.
To display the current graphics and console information, type the following set of commands:
Main Menu: Enter command > configuration [Enter]
Configuration Menu: Enter command > monitor [Enter]
The correct usage for setting the graphics configuration is:
Configuration Menu: Enter command > monitor graphics_path type [Enter]

•graphics(1) - Graphics adapter installed in slot 1
•graphics(2) - Graphics adapter installed in slot 2
•graphics(3) - Graphics adapter installed in slot 3
NOTE No blanks or spaces may be used in the graphics_path.
type is the numerical monitor type as shown with the monitor list command. See the section “Setting the Monitor Type” found in this chapter for a list of types. For example, a graphics card installed in option slot 1 would be graphics(1).
