Accessing the System Console Through a Local
Graphics Monitor

frame buffer. After initial system installation, you can install a local graphics
monitor and configure it to access the system console. You cannot use a local
graphics monitor to perform initial system installation, nor can you use a local
graphics monitor to view power-on self-test (POST) messages.
To install a local graphics monitor, you must have the following items:
Supported PCI-based graphics accelerator card and software driver
