Displaying and Setting the Monitor Type
Your system ships from the factory preset to use a monitor with a specific resolution
and frequency. If you replace your workstation's monitor with a different type of
monitor, you must reconfigure your workstation to support the new monitor.
The Monitor Command
The monitor command lets you change your workstation's graphics configuration.
This command is available in Configuration Menu of the boot console interface.
NOTICE:
The monitor command lets you change your
workstation's graphics configuration before you re-
place your monitor. For information about changing
the configuration after you replace your monitor, go
to Chapter 3.
To display the current graphics and console information, enter the following com-

The correct usage for setting the graphics configuration is:
monitor graphics_path type
where valid graphics_path parameters are:
graphics(0) –
graphics(1) through graphics(4) – Graphics adapters installed in option slots 1
and type is the numerical monitor type.
When a dual display graphics adapter (an adapter which has two video output con-
nectors) 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). 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 2 would be graphics(2A) and graphics(2B).
NOTICE:
There are graphics configuration restrictions of which
you must be aware when adding graphics adapters or
reconfiguring your graphics devices. For details on

el workstations, see the appropriate subsection under
