Hi,
You may have misunderstood, I said power short, so please disconnect the hard drive power, unplugging the scsi cable will not prevent a power short.

Also, yes, if you’re using an unknown adapter then bingo! Samsung syncmasters are great SGI monitors, often. So likely not the monitor. For new people I highly advise you go on eBay and buy the universal 13w3 cable offered there, I have 6 of them, would love more.

I think Indys output both SOG and separated H/V sync at once, so try both settings and see what happens on the DIP switches. But these are great cables. I’m like 99% sure your small adapter isn’t correct for SGIs. Buy this like $20 cable and get on with life. If you have the positive jingle boot up sound, then you should be solid to go

Cheers!
