8. If you are running an application program, see if you need

to set up the program for the type of monitor and display

adapter you have. Also make sure you are using the

appropriate monitor and display adapter for your software.

9. If you installed an EGA or VGA display adapter card, or

another type of card that you want to be the primary

display adapter, you must set jumper JP4 to disable the

built-in VGA adapter or you will not see anything on the

screen. See “Changing the Jumper Settings” in Chapter 6

for instructions.

If you are using one or more display adapter cards, you

may need to change the setting of jumper JP6. This jumper

tells the computer whether you are using a color or

monochrome monitor and is set for color at the factory.

If JP6 is set incorrectly, you see a CRT error message.

If you are using two different types of video cards, set

jumper JP6 to the primary monitor type. See “Changing the

Jumper Settings” in Chapter 6 for instructions.

10. If you still have difficulty with your monitor, run the

appropriate diagnostic test for your adapter as described in

Appendix C. If the diagnostics program indicates an error,

contact the place where you bought the monitor.
