Hello The integrated graphics on servers is very limited. I suspect the max resolution on the 2850 is around 800x600, maybe 1024x768. This information is probably listed in the manual on the system support page. [URL] Thanks
Hi guys... I have recently bought an old PowerEdge 2850 and she is now running beautifully.... (after a lot of TLC I must add)... BUT... The one last issue I have is that the screen resolution on my monitor is not correct. The "Display Adapter" says - Standard VGA Graphics Adapter (???) The Monitor is - Samsung SyncMaster BX3021 (driver is installed) The Chipset says - ATI Radeon VE The OS is - Windows Server 2008 R2   I tried to download an ATI Radeon driver but it was obviously the incorrect one as all my RAID drives FAILED - I think that was because it was for Server 2008 and not server 2008r2 - so I'm a bit nervous to try another Display Adapter driver because I had to re-create the RAID drives and install everything AGAIN.....etc. Am I stuck with the - "Standard VGA Graphics Adapter" -  or what? Surely the ATI Radeon should be giving me better graphics (or at least be able to handle the screen resolution of the Samsung monitor).... Sorry, I am not very clued up w.r.t graphics cards and old servers.... I'd appreciate it if someone could point me in the right direction here.... Thanx Mike
