Video Output Failure
To check for a video output failure:
Note –
This procedure is valid for primary graphics card only.
1. Check that the power cord is connected to the monitor and to the power supply
outlet.
2. Verify that the wall outlet is supplying AC power to the monitor and the power
supply.
Use a VOM (volt-ohm-milliammeter).
3. Verify that the video cable connection is secure between the monitor and the
system video output port.
Use a VOM to perform the continuity test on the video cable.
4. If the power cord and video cable connections are good and no video output
occurs, reseat the video card for the monitor.
The video card may be installed in one of the four SBus slots or in a memory slot if
it is a VSIMM. VSIMMs can be installed in one or two of the memory slots:
■
Slot J0304 is the default slot for the VSIMM in SPARCstation 20 systems with the
SX graphics option. This enables video output on the monitor connector on the
system back panel.
■
Slot J0305 may be used for a DSIMM, VSIMM, or NVSIMM in SPARCstation 20
systems. An auxiliary video board (AVB) must be installed to enable video output
from a VSIMM in slot J0305.

operating system or applications

. The top drive (SCSI address
1) is identified as
sd1
or
c0t1d0
.
