Turning On The Presenter; Starting Presenter With The Monitor Control Panel - Silicon Graphics Presenter Owner's Manual

Chapter 1: Setting Up and Using the Presenter Monitor

Turning on the Presenter

6
The Presenter has no power switch. If your workstation and CRT monitor
are on when you connect the Presenter, you start the Presenter from the
Monitor Control Panel. See "Starting Presenter With the Monitor Control
Panel" below.
If your workstation is off when you connect Presenter, turning on the
workstation automatically turns on Presenter. The display takes about a
minute to warm up, so the image may appear dim at first.
If there is no image on the Presenter, make sure the external cables are
connected correctly, as described in "Connecting the Cables" on page 3.
Then go to Chapter 2, "Troubleshooting" for help in solving the problem.
If you have a high resolution (1280 x1024 pixels) CRT monitor
Note:
connected to the workstation and you connect the Presenter, the CRT
monitor is set to 1024 x 768 pixels. Therefore icons at the extreme edges of
your screen may not be visible. To remedy this, move the icons away from
the edges of the screen before turning on the Presenter. If you disconnect the
Presenter and wish to return your CRT monitor to its default resolution, type
the following from a UNIX shell:
su
/etc/killall Xsgi
If the workstation is on and Presenter is disconnected, see "Restarting the
Presenter Monitor" on page 7.
