Setup guide

If you have connected your monitor to the computer’s built-in
VGA port, select VGA
or EGA.
If you installed an optional
video card, follow these guidelines to select the correct adapter
type:
D
If you have a VGA adapter card or an enhanced graphics
adapter (EGA) card, select VGA
or
EGA
.
P
If you have a color graphics adapter (CGA) or a
multi-mode graphics adapter (MGA) attached to an RGB
(color) monitor, select Color
80x25.
(Also be sure to set
the color/mono switch on the MGA card to color.)
Q
If you have a monochrome display adapter (MDA), an
MGA, or a Hercules MGA attached to a monochrome
monitor, choose Monochrome. (Also remember to set the
color/mono switch on the MGA card to mono.)
D
If you have a composite color monitor, such as a color
television with a video input, try selecting Color
80x25.
If the monitor’s resolution is poor, run SETUP again and
select Color 40x25.
If you have two display adapters of different types, select the
setting for the one you want to be your primary display
adapter. The other one is your secondary adapter.
If you have installed an EGA or VGA display adapter card, or
another type of card that you want to be the primary display
adapter, you must set jumper J1 on the main system board to
position B to disable the built-in VGA interface.
If you install one type of display adapter card and then change
the type of monitor you are using (from color to monochrome
or vice-versa), you also need to set jumper J4. If you have two
types of cards, set the jumper to match the monitor that is your
primary display. See Chapter 4 in the User’s
Guide
for
instructions on changing jumper settings.
