3. Turn the external monitor’s power on.
4. Turn the computer's power on.
When you turn on the power, the computer will automatically recognize the
monitor and determine whether it is a color or monochrome device. In the
event that you find that there are issues getting an image displayed on the
correct monitor, you should consider using the FN + F5 hot key to change
the display settings (if you then disconnect the external monitor before you
turn the computer's power off, be sure to press FN + F5 hot key again to
switch to the internal display).
Please refer to Chapter 5, The Keyboard, for further details on using hot
keys to change the display setting.
If you disconnect the floppy diskette drive or turn off the power while the
computer is accessing the drive you may lose data or damage the floppy
diskette or the drive.
