2.3.1 Selecting the Display Device
The SRM console environment variable determines to which display
device (VT-type terminal or VGA monitor) the console display is sent.
The console terminal that displays the SRM user interface or AlphaBIOS can be
either a serial terminal (VT320 or higher, or equivalent) or a VGA monitor.
The SRM console environment variable determines the display device.
•
If console is set to serial, and a VT-type device is connected, the SRM
console powers on in serial mode and sends power-up information to the VT
device. The VT device can be connected to the MMJ port or to COM2.
•
If console is set to graphics, the SRM console expects to find a VGA card
connected to PCI 0 and, if so, displays power-up information on the VGA
monitor after VGA initialization has been completed.
You can verify the display device with the SRM show console command and
change the display device with the SRM set console command. If you change
the display device setting, you must reset the system (with the Reset button or
the init command) to put the new setting into effect.
In the following example, the user displays the current console device (a
graphics device) and then resets it to a serial device. After the system
initializes, output will be displayed on the serial terminal.
P00>>> show console
console graphics
P00>>> set console serial
P00>>> init
