Connecting a Monitor
You connect a monitor to the computer’s monitor port. Before you connect the monitor,
check the instructions that came with the monitor for additional information. You can get
additional information on ergonomics, health and safety considerations, and maintenance in
Chapter 4 of this manual.
To connect the monitor, follow these steps:
1 Place the monitor near the computer.
2 Connect the monitor power cord to the monitor.
Some monitors already have the cord attached.
3 Plug the power cord into a grounded electrical socket or the back of the computer.
Check the documentation that came with the monitor to find out where to plug it in.
Attach the monitor cable to the monitor; then attach the monitor cable to the monitor port
on the back of the computer.
Some monitors have the cable attached. Check the monitor’s manual for any additional
instructions.
Warning The monitor power socket on the back of the computer uses the same voltage
level as the electrical outlet to which the computer is connected. To protect your monitor,
be sure to use the appropriate adapter or voltage converter, if one is necessary.
