Setting up the Duo Dock
If you need to install a NuBus card inside the dock, do it before
following the steps below. See “Installing a NuBus Card” in this
guide for instructions.
1. Place the dock on a hard, flat surface.
While you set up, you’ll need access to the connectors on the
back panel.
Important: Don’t attempt to use the dock on its side, or in
any position other than those pictured. Don’t block the
ventilation slots at the right rear side of the dock.
2. Plug one end of the dock’s power cord into the power
receptacle (≤) on the back of the dock, and the other
end into an electrical outlet or power strip.
3. Put your monitor on top of the dock, and connect the
monitor’s video and power cables.
The dock can hold a monitor weighing up to 100 lbs. (45 kg).
If you installed a video card in the dock, connect the video
cable to the card. Otherwise, connect the video cable to the
dock’s video port (marked with the icon
™). If you are
connecting a VGA monitor, you need a 15-pin to 9-pin adapter.
Connect the monitor’s power cord to the power receptacle
on the back of the dock.
