I found it; I take it this selects the default console device. Switching
it doesn't make any difference---the result of either is the same:
if you really don't have anything on the monitor, pull the switch "up" to
use a terminal as a console. That's the one with the printer icon, 9600
baud 8n1.
The ultimate stop of the LED disagnostics is with
positions 1 and 7 lit.
If you using the enumeration from DEC (76543210)
Your machine should be fine. It looks like all diagnostics is done besides
of one of the options failed.
I was unable to locate a usable cable today for
hooking up a serial
terminal; I'll have one of our VARs try to get one to me next week.
Anything I can try in the meanwhile?
open it, and check if something look strange ;-))
And i forgot, what type of monitor you have, but it should have at least
1280x1024 at some graphics options. Sometimes you can change that to
1024x860 via a switch on the graphics option.
cheers,
