Using a Display Adapter

Card

If you are not using a VGA monitor or if you want to install an

optional display adapter card instead of using the built-in

adapter to control your VGA monitor, read the guidelines in

this section.

Before you can connect a monitor to a display adapter card,

you must install the card in your computer. If it is not already

installed, follow the instructions on page 2-16 to install an

option card.

When installing the card, make sure any switches or jumpers

on the card are set properly. For example, you may need to

change a switch setting to select the refresh rate. See the

documentation that came with your monitor and display

adapter card for instructions.

If you install an optional display adapter card, you must set

jumper J6 on the main system board to position 2-3 to disable

the built-in VGA port. (You do not have to do this if you

connected the card to the VGA feature connector on the main

system board.) You also need to set jumper J5 to the On

position if you are using a CGA adapter and monitor. See

page 2-6 for instructions on changing jumper settings.

Note

If you install a high-resolution graphics adapter card that

connects to an alternate VGA interface (also called a “feature

connector”), see page 2-26 for instructions on connecting the

card to the connector on the main system board.

After you install the card, connect your monitor to the

computer. If your monitor came with its own manual, follow

the instructions there. Otherwise, just insert your monitor

connector into the adapter card port instead of the built-in port.
