Installing an expansion card
If you purchased any expansion cards for your Macintosh, install them now.
(For instructions, see Appendix B, “Installing an Expansion Card,” as well as
the documentation that came with the cards.) If you don’t have an expansion
card, go on to the next section, “Connecting a Monitor.”
Connecting a monitor
You can connect many types of monitors to your Macintosh. To connect a
monitor from a manufacturer other than Apple, refer to the instructions that
came with the monitor.
Connecting the monitor power cord
Monitors have two cords to connect—a power cord and a monitor cable.
To connect the monitor power cord, follow these steps:
1Place the monitor where you will be using it.
You may place it on top of your computer. Keep these considerations in mind:
m Allow a few inches for air circulation around the sides of the computer
and monitor.
m Make sure that the top of the screen is slightly below eye level when you’re
sitting at the keyboard.
m Position the monitor to minimize glare and reflections on the screen from
overhead lights and windows.
m Consult “Arranging Your Office” in Appendix A for suggestions on
locating your computer equipment.
