SGI Indigo2 High Impact it does not show any image on my monitor

RE: SGI Indigo2 High Impact it does not show any image on my monitor
I had recent issues with my daughter's Octane2, going from CRT to LCD, and may have some relevant tips. The issue is that CRTs scan about twice as fast as LCDs and therefore must be set to a compatible default pre-boot graphics output. Not sure if this issue goes the other way, but I had to use the CRT to set that before I could get power-on graphics on the LCD.

Do you have an LCD you can try on the system? If not, you may have to serial in from your other machine to change the default power-on resolution from a ~60Hz one to a ~96Hz one.
