Troubleshooting the VGA Monitor
It is normal for the display to remain blank for a minute or longer during system boot-up.
Direct the system output to a console device for troubleshooting:
1. With the workstation turned off, connect a 9-pin to 9-pin serial cable (HP F1044-80002) to
Serial Port A on the rear panel of the workstation, and to a laptop or other device with
terminal emulation software.
NOTE: If your system has a plug-in serial card (installed in slot 6), connect to the card’s serial
port instead of to Serial Port A.
2. Configure the terminal emulation software with these settings:
❏ Terminal emulation: VT100+
❏ Wrap lines: Off (unchecked)
❏ Baud rate: 9600
❏ Bits: 8
❏ Parity: None
❏ Stop Bits: 1 (one)
❏ Flow Control: XON/XOFF
3. Using the terminal emulation software, connect to the workstation with a direct connection.
4. Turn on the workstation.
