How to Prepare Windows XP Professional to Display External Video

To use an external monitor, you need to attach the monitor to the SunPCi III main card backplate and install the external video driver. The video drivers are now automatically installed during the SunPCi III installation.

Caution – Do not use both system and external monitors at the same time. SunPCi software does not support multi-headed operation.

Refer to FIGURE 10-1to find the location of the external video port.

2.Exit Windows XP and the SunPCi III software.

3.At the Solaris system prompt, restart the SunPCi III software using the -voption:

%/opt/SUNWspci3/bin/sunpci -v
