3.2 Installing the Video Card and Video Driver
Before connecting the LCD console, make sure your computer has a video card already installed
for the monitor. After you connect the drawer, install the video software driver. The video

properties.

may change. This behavior is normal. You can readjust the image using the monitor on-screen
controls. For more information on the monitor on-screen controls, refer to Chapter 2. For
