Monitor
First, set the system to VGA mode. To do this in Windows 98, depress the F8
function key during startup. Safe mode (VGA) will be set for Windows 98. Use
the operating system's video setup to change the monitor resolution.
The monitors that come with the system are DDC2A/B or DDC1/2B+ (Display
Data Channel) compliant. While starting Windows 98, the DDC2 monitor
passes resolution and frequency information to the system. The system
interprets the data and sets up the proper refresh rate.
If the monitor type is set to the power saving mode, the screen remains black
and the LED lights or flashes in amber color. When the monitor is turned on
alone, or is turned on and connected to a powered-off system unit, the monitor
LED blinks in amber color. Under the normal operating conditions, the LED
lights in green color.
NOTE: Some monitors have a detachable system I/O signal cable between the
monitor and the system unit. Check the line voltage, power cord, and
continuity for the system I/O signal cable before replacing the monitor.
See “Monitor Port Signals” on page 151 for pin identification.
