Monitor turns off while imaging a Net3 Conductor or Paradigm Central Control Server (P-CCS)

Issue

While imaging a Net3 Conductor to v3.0.0+ or a Paradigm Central Control Server (P-CCS) to v4.0.0+ using a Rev B motherboard (VGA/DVI/2x Serial ports) the monitor will turn off and fail to display further information. Before the monitor turns off users may either see "unable to open '/dev/sda'", or "A TPM error (7) occurred attempting to read a pcr value".

Explanation & Solution of Issue

ETC has identified this cause as a bug in the Clonezilla software used to re-image. Certain monitors seem to not like the display resolution that Clonezilla switches to during the image process, and those monitors handle this by not displaying anything at all. Fortunately Clonezilla is still operating in the background. To continue the image process the user must blindly press the Right Arrow key (➡️) once, followed by Enter key. The unit powers off when completed so it's easy to tell when it's done. Additionally trying a different monitor may work, as not all monitors are susceptible to this issue.
