Connecting the optional external DVD drive
You can install the external drive in the PC Card slot on
the left side of the computer. Alternatively, if you have a
PC Card SCSI adapter, you can use a SCSI CD-ROM
drive.
Using external display devices
Your computer comes with a built-in LCD display, but you
can easily attach an external monitor to your computer if you
need a larger screen. To do this:
1 Connect the monitor’s video cable to the RGB (monitor)
port on the back of the computer.
2 Connect the monitor’s power cable to a live electrical
outlet.
3 Turn on the external monitor.
4 Set the display mode by pressing
Fn + F5, or by setting the
Display Properties settings. For more information, see
“Directing the display output when you turn on the
computer” on page 105.
