Installing an expansion card
If you purchased an expansion card (such as a special video card) for your
Macintosh, install it now. See Chapter 9, “Installing Expansion Cards,” for
instructions. If you don’t have an expansion card, continue with the next
section, “Connecting a Monitor.”
Connecting a monitor
You can connect many types of monitors to your Macintosh. To connect a
monitor, refer to the instructions that came with it, in addition to the
instructions here.
Connecting the monitor power cord
Monitors have two cords to connect: a monitor power cord and a monitor
video cable.
To connect the monitor power cord, follow these steps:
1Place the monitor where you’ll be using it.
Keep these considerations in mind:
m Allow a few inches for air circulation around the computer and monitor.
m Position the monitor with the top of the screen at slightly below eye level
when you sit 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.
