Connecting a computer display
You can connect a computer display (monitor) either directly to your computer or via the (optional) port
replicator.
To connect a computer display, proceed as follows:
1 If you want to connect a VGA monitor, plug the display
cable (1) (not supplied) on the notebook or on the port
replicator.
2 If you want to connect a TFT/DVI monitor, plug the
display cable (not supplied) into the DVI-D connector on
the port replicator.
3 If necessary, plug one end of the display’s power cord
(3) into the display, and the other end into an AC outlet.
DVI-D stands for Digital Visual Interface - Digital. It is a kind of DVI connector that only supports digital video signals, so no analogue video
signals. It has 24 pins.
A DVI-I connector (Digital Visual Interface - Integrated) supports digital video and analogue video signals. It has 29 pins.
! You can not connect a DVI-I to VGA cable to a DVI-D connector!
