Possible screen resolution Introduction

Possible screen resolution

Depending on the operating system used the screen resolutions in the following table r efer to the screen controller on the system board. If you are using an external screen controller, you will find details of supported screen resolutions in the Operating Manual or Technical Manual supplied with the controller. You can set the screen resolution under Windows 95 by selecting
Display - Settings.
You can set the screen resolution under MS-DOS using the
Control Panel -

Boards with electrostatic sensitive devices (ESD) may be identified by labels.
When you handle boards fitted with ESDs, you must observe the following points under all circumstances:
You must always discharge yourself (e.g. by touching a grounded object)
before working.
