Connecting a computer display
The supplied i.LINK™ port replicator allows you to connect an external display eliminating the need for the
display adapter.
You may not be able to display the computer's LCD and the external display together, depending on the
type of computer display and projector used.
When you connect an external display to the monitor connector, you can press <Fn> + <F7> to toggle the
output between the Liquid Crystal Display (LCD), the external monitor or both devices.
To connect a computer display, proceed as follows:
1 Plug the i.LINK™ port replicator or the optional PCGA-DA5 display adapter (2) into the port replicator
connector (1) identified by the I/O symbol.
2 If necessary, plug one end of the display’s power cord (3) into the display, and the other end into an
AC outlet (4).
To remove the display adapter, first turn off the computer, then press both sides of the display adapter connector and unplug it from the computer.
