Introduction
EII has begun using a new model of server computer, the Lenovo M715. For safety, that model will not produce an image of a resolution higher than 640x480 without a monitor connected. This makes viewing the server remotely for troubleshooting purposes very difficult. Luckily, the fix is a one step process. Plugging in a Headless Display Adapter allows the resolution to be adjusted to the desired value.
The Part
| A headless display adapter is a VGA connector that will go into the VGA port on the back of the server PC. |  |
| The Server's VGA port's position is shown in the picture to the right. |  |
Installation
