The p5-285 deskside server, when combined with a graphics accelerator, can be equipped
with a flat-panel monitor. Table 2-3 on page 19 lists the flat-panel monitors that are supported
on the POWER 285 when using either the GXT4500P or GXT6500P graphics accelerators. A
15-inch flat-panel monitor (FC 3641) is available for use with the GXT135P 2D graphics
adapter.
