workstation.
3. Connect the other end of the cable to the external monitor.
4. Turn on the monitor. If the workstation is running Microsoft Windows and a graphics driver is
installed, the workstation automatically detects the external monitor and uses it as a display.
Customizing the monitor display
You can manually select or change the monitor refresh rates, screen resolution, color settings, font
sizes, and power management settings of the workstation's display or external monitor. Use either the
control panel of the graphics processing unit (MXM card or integrated graphics) or the Windows
Control Panel > Display options.
For more information about customizing your external monitor, refer to the documentation included with
the monitor.
18 Chapter 3 Setting up and using the workstation
Using the workstation as a monitor
The DisplayPort connector on the workstation is bi-directional and lets you use the workstation as a
display for another computer, such as a laptop. The other computer (referred to as the external
graphics source) must have a graphics DisplayPort output connector.
A set of keystrokes on the workstation keyboard toggles the port from output to input and back. While
in output mode, the port drives an external monitor. While in input mode, an external graphics source
drives the workstation display.
NOTE: This feature is only supported on the Microsoft Windows operating system.
To use the workstation as a monitor:
1. Connect one end of a DisplayPort cable to the external graphics source's DisplayPort connector.
Connect the other end to the DisplayPort connector on the back of the workstation.
Figure 3-14 Connecting the display ports
2. On the workstation keyboard, simultaneously press Ctrl+Shift+S+D (switch display) to enable
the workstation to display output from the external graphics source.
3. To switch back, simultaneously press Ctrl+Shift+S+D on the workstation again. This reverts the
workstation to internal graphics source and places the workstation display in standby mode. On
the workstation, move the mouse or press the space bar to wake up the display.
NOTE: This feature relies on the My Display utility, which is subject to change with new software
and driver releases. To download the latest software and driver, go to

Restoring the operating system with HP Recovery Manager
The Microsoft Windows 7 operating system can be reinstalled using HP Recovery Manager, a tool
that reinstalls the Windows operating system and device drivers (for devices included with the system)
to a near-factory state.
If you ordered HP Recovery Manager with your workstation, the restore media is included with your
workstation components. If you did not order it, call HP support and request an HP Recovery Manager
media kit.
CAUTION: Restoring the operating system does not restore data. Before you restore the operating
system, back up your data using the method and media of your choice.
The HP Recovery Manager process deletes all information on the primary hard drive, including all
partitions.
To restore Windows 7:
1. Boot from disc 1 of the HP Recovery Manager set.
2. Follow the prompts to restore your operating system.
Some applications might not be restored using this process. If an application is not restored, install it
with the appropriate installation media.
NOTE: Microsoft Windows 7 also provides a backup and restore application. To learn more, go to

HPIKL driver CD
Recent versions of Red Hat Linux typically require only driver updates with minor fixes to support HP
workstations. These releases can usually be supported with the HPIKL driver CD, which can be used as
a post-installation utility for the standard Red Hat Linux install.
After you complete the standard Red Hat install and restart the system, a Red Hat first-boot utility runs.
After you specify a number of settings (such as the security level, time and date, root password, user
accounts), the utility lets you to load additional CDs.
The driver CD is used during this phase. All content added by HP is in the /HP directory on the CD.
You can use it to build your own image or to browse the HP content.
NOTE: Some installations may encounter problems if they are performed with a DisplayPort
connection to the monitor. This is because the default drivers that the OS installers use do not support
DisplayPort functionality. If you experience problems, try overriding the monitor choice for DisplayPort
during the start of the install and using the VESA driver instead. You can then set up the DisplayPort
monitor later.
Installing with the HP Red Hat Linux driver CD
1. If you do not have the appropriate HP driver CD for a supported stream, create one (see HP
Installer Kit for Linux (HPIKL) on page 24.
