Proceed as follows.
1. Insert the Color Displays Test-Pattern Diskette in drive A of the
system unit.
CAUTION:
Use caution when making adjustments with the cover removed. There are
high voltages on the analog and video cards.
2. Turn power on at the system unit and the display. The system unit
runs its internal checks, and then loads the program from the
diskette.
3. Allow 20 minutes for the display to warm up before making any
adjustments.
Mode Selection: The mode for setting up the display is determined by the
modes supported by the display adapter cards.
