Installing the Md5/PCI Board in a Digital UNIX Workstation 127
Limitations with VGA support
Digital UNIX uses VGA for its console when the X Window
System is not running. The Md5/PCI board also supports
VGA. To support VGA with the Md5/PCI board, you must
enable VGA, as described in “Supporting VGA with the
Md5/PCI board” on page 119, and install the board in a
64-bit slot.
The Digital 500au workstation does not support the
Md5/PCI board’s VGA in the 32-bit slots, so you must
have a separate VGA-capable board in one of the 64-bit
slots if you want the VGA console to boot the Md5/PCI
board in a 32-bit slot.
If you are using the Digital display board for your VGA
console, make sure your Md5/PCI board has been config-
ured to disable VGA support. See “To disable VGA mode”
on page 122 for more information about disabling VGA on
the Md5/PCI board.
Attaching an ASCII terminal
As an alternative to leaving an extra display board in one
of the 64-bit slots for console boot messages, you can attach
a standard ASCII terminal (for example, VT100) to your
Digital Personal Workstation. Please check your system
manual for instructions on how to connect a console
terminal.
