Considerations for attaching an external monitor
When installing an operating system, you must install the display driver for your monitor that is supplied
with the computer, and the monitor INF le that is supplied with the external monitor.
If you set a resolution higher than the resolution you are using on the computer monitor, and use an
external monitor that does not support that resolution, take advantage of the virtual screen function,
which enables you to display only a part of the high-resolution screen image your computer produces.
You can see other parts of the image by moving the screen with the TrackPoint pointing device or another
pointing device.
If the external monitor you are using is outdated, the resolution and the refresh rate might be limited.
Using the DVI monitor
If your computer has one of the following optional expansion units, you can use the DVI monitor through
the DVI connector of that unit:
ThinkPad Mini Dock Series 3
ThinkPad Mini Dock Series 3 with USB 3.0
ThinkPad Mini Dock Plus Series 3
ThinkPad Mini Dock Plus Series 3 with USB 3.0
Notes:
The screen mode that can be used depends on the specications of the DVI monitor.
Before you attach the DVI monitor, make sure that the computer is attached to the expansion unit and
the system works properly.
To attach the DVI monitor, do the following:
1. Turn off the computer.
2. Connect the DVI monitor to the DVI connector of the expansion unit, and then connect the monitor
to an electrical outlet.
3. Turn on the DVI monitor and the computer.
