Auto Setup for AIXwindows
1. Turn on the monitor, then the RS/6000. The screen remains blue until
the system is ready.
If the message UNSUPPORTED VIDEO is displayed, or if nothing is displayed
check:
• that the video interface cable is connected properly.
• the correct video adapter card is installed (see page 40).
• the correct supported display mode is selected for your PC.
2. When the AIX desktop login screen is displayed, login as the root user,
and start the common desktop environment (CDE) from the AIX
command prompt. Type XINIT and press ENTER.
3. Wait for about 15 minutes, until the monitor warms up.
4. Start the terminal emulator. To start, click on the SUBPANEL BUTTON
on the text editor control on the front panel, and then select
TERMINAL EMULATOR.
5. Type ‘cd /’ from the command prompt of the terminal emulator, and
press ENTER.
6. Type ‘df -k’ and press ENTER. Make sure that there is at least 60 KB of
free space in the root directory.
7. Insert the diskette labelled “Setup Option Diskette (for AIXwindows)” into
the diskette drive. Type ‘tar -xvf /dev/fd0’ and press ENTER.
8. Type ‘./xcolorbar’ and press ENTER.
If ‘CAN’T ALLOCATE COLOR’ is displayed :
• Stop other programs.
• Enter the commands in step 7 again.
• Type ./xcolorbar and press Enter.
• If, after a few seconds, the setup main menu appears and starts
automatically, go to step 12. If it does not appear and start automatically, go
to the next step.
9. The Auto Setup starts.
10. The messages are automatically displayed in the following sequence:
‘OFF-READY- START-COMPLETED’ and auto setup is complete.
If “AUTO SETUP COMPLETED” is not displayed, or the “AUT O SETUP FAILED”
message appears, repeat the auto setup procedure several times. If auto setup
continues to fail, complete the
Manual Setup
on page 28.
You have completed the monitor setup.
If the monitor is in standby
mode (STANDBY ON), it
might automatically turn off while
you are waiting for it to warm up.
If the screen flickers, repeat
the setup several times until
the flicker is minimised, or adjust
it manually by following Manual
Setup on page 28.
