Hardware Components of the PG 740 PIII
VGA Port
Please read the note referring to the operation of LC displays and external
monitors.
Note
The default setting of the display provides the simultaneous operation of a LC
display and an external monitor. The screen display is then optimized to a format
of 1024*768 pixels. Modes with a lower resolution and text modes are expanded to
this format.
To optimize the screen display for an external monitor, select "PG 740 PIII
Hardware Options" under Setup and set "CRT/LCD selection: CRT enabled".Then
a resolution of 1024*768 pixels with a refresh rate or the even higher resolution
SXGA (1280*1024 pixels) is possible.
Ethernet Interface
In the BIOS setup, the following settings are possible for the Ethernet interface:
Note
Disabled: Ethernet deactivated.
Enabled: Ethernet activated.
Auto:
3-4
The Ethernet interface hardware is turned off. It is not possible to
operate the interface within the operating system.
It is possible to plug in and operate the network cable at any time later
during operation (hot plug).
If no cable is plugged in when the system starts up, the PG 740 PIII
checks whether or not an Ethernet cable is inserted for about
30 seconds when it first boots and for about 40 seconds after returning
from the suspend mode. If there is an active network connection, there
are no noticeable delays.
When you boot, the system checks whether or not a network is
attached. If a network is found, the Ethernet interface remains
activated. If no network is found, the Ethernet interface is deactivated.
When you boot, the status of the Ethernet hardware is displayed in the
Summary Screen. If you plug in the cable later during operation, you
must first reboot the system before you can use the network. A hot plug
is not possible with this setting.
