Selecting Screen Resolution
When the terminal is first turned on, the display uses a default
resolution, depending on the installed video cable and monitor
capabilities. This setting may not provide the highest resolution and
refresh rate your monitor supports. See your monitor documentation
for supported resolutions.
A menu is provided for selecting the correct resolution and changing
the DPI (dots per inch) setting for the monitor. You access this menu
through the Boot Monitor.
To change the resolution:
Caution
Selecting the wrong screen resolution can damage your monitor.
Make sure your selection is supported by your monitor.
1. Turn on the system or reboot (if the system is already on).
2. After the Boot Monitor title and version number, messages similar
to the following appear. Press the Escape
key to interrupt the
booting process.

3. Depending on how the terminal’s booting parameters are set, you
may see more than one of these messages. Press Escape each time
one of them appears. This aborts the load process and puts the
system into the Boot Monitor (> prompt).
