GFX 550e Installation and Reference Manual
2-2
Please note that some Sun monitors may
require a DB-15 to 13W3 adapter (Refer to
Appendix B, Section B.3).
Step 4:
Turn ON the monitor before turning ON the
computer so that the GFX 550e card can auto-
detect the proper resolution for your monitor.
NOTE: If the system is currently using a secondary graphics
device, read section 3.6 on configuring the console device. The
console device is the screen on which the boot up messages
appear. A monitor must be connected to the console device
before you proceed to Chapter 3 Software Installation.
The GFX 550e card is now installed and ready for software
installation. Refer to Chapter 3 for installing the Driver Software.
2.2 Resolution Settings
For monitors that support the DDC2B/EDID (Display Data
Channel) protocol, the GFX 550e card will automatically select a
compatible resolution. To override this selection, or to change
the default resolution for monitors that do not provide DDC
information, refer to Section 3.4 and Appendix A.
The default resolution for the GFX 550e card is listed in the table
below.
Board Resolution Refresh Bits/Pixels Sync
GFX 550e Auto Detect - 8 separate/composite
If the monitor does not support the DDC2B/EDID protocol (auto-
detect), and the console resolution is not set using methods
described in Appendix A, the resolution will default to
1024x768@75Hz.
