Troubleshooting Monitor Problems

In the event that your console stops displaying to your graphics device,
use the following procedure to set the console for displaying to an
external terminal.
Here are the steps to follow:
1. Turn system power off.
2. Disconnect the computer keyboard connector from the system rear
panel.
3. Connect a serial terminal to the Serial 1 connector (the left serial
connector) on the system rear panel. Configure the terminal for: 9600
baud, No Stop Bits, No Parity, 8 Bits.
4. Power on the system. The system will now display the console to the
terminal connected to Serial 1 port. Note that you can use a 9-pin to
9-pin serial cable (HP F1044-80002) to connect an HP OminiBook
serial port to the workstation.
5. Set the monitor type and path using the Boot Console Interface. The
most common monitor type is 1280 1024 at 75 Hz in VESA mode. For
information on doing this see the chapter "The Boot Console
Interface" in this document.
