1Plug the monitor connector on the monitor cable into the monitor port (marked by
™
)
on the back of your computer.
If your computer has more than one monitor port, see the manual that came
with your computer for information on choosing the correct port.
If you installed a video card in your computer, connect the monitor connector
on the monitor cable to the video card’s port. For more information about
installing video cards, see the manual that came with your computer or
video card.
2 Tighten the thumbscrews on the connection.
You can prevent bad connections and accidental damage by tightening
the thumbscrews. Do not overtighten the thumbscrews; you might
strip the threads.
3Plug the ADB connector on the monitor cable into an ADB port (marked by
V
) on the
back of your computer.
Make sure the ADB connector is attached firmly.
IMPORTANT
The ADB connector is not optional; it’s needed for your
Mac OS–based computer to work correctly with your monitor. If not
connected properly, extended resolutions and AppleVision software controls
will not be available.
If you have only one ADB port on the back of your computer and you’re
already using it for your keyboard and mouse, unplug the keyboard and
mouse and connect them directly to your AppleVision monitor. For more
information, see “Connecting a Mac OS–Based Computer Keyboard and
Mouse to Your Monitor” later in this chapter.
IMPORTANT
When connecting ADB cables, be sure to align the symbol V on
the connector with the same symbol on the port. If you force a connector the
wrong way, you will damage it.
WARNING
Make sure you don’t plug the ADB connector into an S-video
port (marked by æ or Æ) by mistake. The ports are the same size, and
it’s easy to mistake one for the other. It may cause electrical damage to
your computer or monitor.
