Monitor-Type Selection
The B2000 workstation supports monitors set to one of the following resolutions:
• 1280×1024 color (stereo capable), 75Hz, VESA
• 1600×1200 color, 75Hz, VESA
• 1280×1024 color, 75 Hz, VESA
The workstation must have either an HP-supported monitor running at 75 Hz with a
1280×1024 resolution, or a full multi-mode color monitor. Monitors with EVC, D-Sub, or 5
BNC connectors (RGB, vertical sync, horizontal sync) will function.
NOTE
The HP V
ISUALIZE
-fxe graphics card will not function with older HP monitor
types that use a sync on green signal. This includes monitors such as the
HP 1097A/B/C/D, A2088A, and A2828A/B that only have 3 BNC connectors.
Note that you can connect the B2000 workstation to earlier HP monitors with 15-pin
miniature D-Sub cables using the A4168A adapter shipped with the workstation’s
accessory kit.
The
monitor type
does not have to change since the B2000 workstation is set up to
support the monitors listed above. However, if for some reason the
monitor type
needs to
change, refer to Chapter 6, “Boot Console Handler.”
