I couldn't finda group for servers, so, I'm trying this one.

 

I just bought two of these servers to fool around with.  Got them very cheap.  Trying to load Ubuntu Server onto it.   Problem is the monitor when I assume it wants to go into some sort of graphics mode.  I tried not to load anything with graphics, but, it is screwing up after I get through doing setup.

 

My 2008 era LCD monitor just spazzes out, then finally comes up with a little box saying "Not optimum mode.  Recommend Mode 1680x1050 60Hz".  My newer monitor comes back with the message "Input not support".

 

Specs say that's an ATI Rage XL video card in there. 

 

Anyone know what upgraded graphics card might work?  Eventually this will be headless, but, since I'm VERY new to servers and networking, not exactly sure how to Telnet into the server, I'd like a monitor on it until I get everything set up.

 

Thanks. 

 

David

Hi, David:

HP split into 2 companies a couple of years ago, and this forum is for printers, and consumer/business PC's.

 

Servers, switches, tape drives, and the like are part of the HP Enterprise company now,

 

You can also post your question on the HPE Community Support Forum -- Proliant Servers section.
