Press the Reset button on the front panel of the base unit to restart the

common configuration problems and solutions:

InterVue monitor is connected to the system. Select the InterVue
monitor type.

A multi-sync monitor is connected to the system, but a multi-sync
monitor type is not selected in Video Configuration, and the display
driver cannot determine this by querying the monitor. Select an
appropriate multi-sync monitor type.
