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 3 would be graphics(3A) and graphics(3B).
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
