  Personal Workstation Monitor, IDE CD-ROM? 
 The Question is:
 
1. Customer has PWS433au with IDE cd-rom.
I upgrade fw from cdrom ver5.3
Booting from fw cdrom was OK.
When I try to boot from CDrom OpenVMS Alpha
OS V7.1-2, I get same message like when i boot
from lower versions.
It is written that V7.1-2 supports booting from
IDE cdrom, but it doesn't happen.
Please suggest what to do ?
 
2. On the same PWS433au how can I put 14 or 15''
monitor ?
 
 
 
 The Answer is:
 
  Question 1: Contact the customer support center -- when asking
  questions of the Wizard, specific error messages are required.
 
  The typical bootstrap command for this purpose is:
 
    BOOT -FL 0,80000 xxxx, DVA0
 
  where:
    xxxx is the name of the CD-ROM device.  eg: DQB0
 
  Perhaps the console commands can help you identify the devices
  present?
 
  Question 2: using a 14" or 15" monitor. You will need to adjust the
  resolution of the Powerstorm graphics adapter to suit the monitor.
 
  Powerstorm graphics adapters have a hardware switch to select the graphics
  resolution and frequency. If the selected value is too high for the
  monitor, the image will not be displayed. The behaviour will depend on
  the monitor.
 
  Factory setting is generally the *highest* available resolution and
  frequency which is higher than most 14 or 15" monitors are capable of
  displaying.
 
  If you must use a small monitor with these systems, the video selection
  switch will need to be set to a value suitable for the monitor. The
  settings and resolutions are as follows:
 
        Setting         Resolution      Frequency
           0            1280x1024          72
           1            1280x1024          66
           2            1280x1024          60
           3            1152x900           72
           4            1600x1200          65   *PBXGB-CA only
           5            1024x768           70
           6            1024x768           72
           7            1024x864           60
           8            1024x768           60
           9            800x600            72
           A            800x600            60
           B            640x480            72
           C            640x480            60
           D            1280x1024          75
           E            1280x1024          60
           F            1600x1200          75   *PBXGB-CA only
 
  Setting C is standard VGA resolution and should work on any monitor.
