Connect monitor (or TV) to computer
Connect monitor (or TV) to computer
Put the monitor or TV on the table, next to or behind the computer. Don't balance it
on top of the computer.
Colour monitor or colour TV with SCART cable
If you have a colour monitor, push the plug on
one end of the cable into the back of the monitor,
and the other into the 15-way connector on the
back of the computer. Secure the plug to the
computer with a small flat-bladed screwdriver.
If you have a colour TV with a SCART cable,
push the SCART connector into the back of the
TV. You need a I 5-way connector on the other
end of the cable to plug into the back of the
computer (see Cable type Eon page 71).
Colour TV with aerial cable
You can connect a colour TV to your computer
using the aerial cable supplied. Connect one end
of the cable into the TV, and the other end into
the computer's TV modulator socket.
Connect other equipment to computer
Peripherals – if you have any – should also be connected to the computer before the
power is switched on:
• If you have a parallel printer, connect it to the parallel socket at the back of the
computer.
• If you want to use a modem or a serial printer, first make sure that you have the
correct adaptor cable (see Appendix C: Attaching peripheral devices on page 77).
Then connect the modem or printer to the serial port socket (marked RS 232) on
the back of the computer (don't confuse this with the joystick connectors).
Connect power supply
Plug the monitor and computer power cables into power outlets on the wall. Don't
switch on yet: follow the instructions in the next chapter.
