Monitor problems
Action
Wavy, unreadable, rolling,
distorted screen, or screen
jitter.
Verify that the correct device driver is properly installed.
If the monitor self-tests show that the monitor is OK, consider the
location of the monitor. Magnetic fields around other devices
(such as transformers, appliances, fluorescent lights, and other
monitors) can cause screen jitter or wavy, unreadable, rolling, or
distorted screen images. If this happens, turn off the monitor.
(Moving a color monitor while it is turned on might cause screen
discoloration.) Then, move the device and the monitor at least
305 mm (12 in.) apart. Turn on the monitor.
Notes:
1. The distance between monitors and diskette drives
should be at least 76 mm (3 in.) to prevent diskette
drive read/write errors.
2. Non-IBM monitor cables might cause unpredictable
problems.
3. An enhanced monitor cable with additional shielding
is available for the 9521 and 9527 monitors. See
your IBM reseller or IBM marketing representative for
information on the enhanced monitor cable.
If the problem recurs, have the monitor and system serviced.
The monitor works when you
turn on the system, but goes
blank when you start some
application programs.
Verify that the primary monitor cable is connected to the video
port.
Be sure that you installed the necessary drivers for the
application.

1. The server power cord is plugged into the server and a
working electrical outlet.
2. The monitor power cord is plugged into the monitor and a
working electrical outlet.
3. The monitor is turned on and the Brightness and Contrast
controls are adjusted correctly.
4. The monitor signal cable is connected to the correct
connector on the system.
If the items above are correct and the screen remains blank,
have the system serviced.

section of the
User's Reference
on the
IBM xSeries
Documentation
CD).
If the server still does not respond, have the system serviced.
