Re: Netserver LP2000R

Hi,

In order to use a PCI video adapter on other Netservers the onboard video has to be disabled. There is no dip switch listed or BIOS option available to do this on this server. Due to this, you are stuck with the onboard vido only. This also means you are unable to get dual video sources to work.

Maybe there is a workaround that someone else might be able to share with us, but I am unaware of one.

Klaus,

Servers are not designed to be workstations with dual video output. There is no way without doing some board mods to disable the onboard video, which of course would void any and all warranty. HP workstations like the XW4000 http://www.hp-expo.com/uk/eng/commercial/workstations/entry.html can all be configured with dual video output.

Ciao,
Greg
