After power-up with the PFD/MFD selectors set to NORM, the displays are in the
default configuration:
• PFDs are displayed on the two outboard display units (DUs)
• a normal-display ND is shown in the left MFD of the Captain inboard DU
• a full-display ND is shown on the First Officer inboard DU

DU or in the left MFD window of the First Officer inboard DU

DU as EICAS
• a full-display ND (two MFD windows) is shown on the inboard DU
without EICAS
• the CDU is displayed in each MFD window of the lower DU
