1.6 GHz IXS video alert

  
Problem description
 

The video image may not properly return after the Windows® server console display wakes from low power mode on an Integrated xSeries® Server (IXS) type 2892-001 (1.6 GHz) running the Windows 2000 Server or Windows 2000 Advanced Server operating systems.

The display is typically blank when this problem occurs, but in rare cases a corrupted video image may be observed. The video chip manufacturer is aware of the problem and is working to understand the cause.

 
Circumvention
 

This problem can be avoided by disabling the display power setting that turns off the monitor after a period of keyboard/mouse inactivity. To do this:

  1. On the Windows server console, start the Display Properties application on the Control Panel.
  2. Click on the Screen Saver tab.
  3. On the Screen Saver page, click on the Power button to open the Power Options dialog box.
  4. On the Power Options dialog box choose Never from the drop down list that is labeled Turn off Monitor:.
  5. Then click on the Ok button to close the Power Options dialog box.
  6. Finally, click on the Ok button to close the Display Properties application.
