Fixing Common Installation Problems
This section describes how to fix some common problems you may
encounter while installing the HP Visualize graphics card.
Note that there are several system utilities that you can use to display or
set the graphics configuration for your workstation:

• opt/graphics/common/bin/setmon allows you to reconfigure the
monitor type.
• The Display menu of the HP-UX System Administration Manager
(SAM) utility allows you to configure the X-server and set the monitor
type.
• /opt/graphics/common/bin/setmon -V will display the
firmware revision of the graphics card.

reconfigure the system console so that it recognizes the new card:

power.
2. Interrupt the boot up sequence and wait until the Boot Console
