The Main Components and How to Install Them
1.2 The Monitor
1.2.5 Supplying Power to the Monitor
The monitor can get its power from the system unit, a power strip, or a
separate wall outlet.
• System unit
When the monitor is connected to the power outlet on the system unit, the
monitor goes on or off whenever you turn the system unit on or off, if you
set and leave the monitor power switch in the on position.
• Power strip
When the monitor is connected to a power strip, you can turn it on and off
by turning the power strip on or off, if you set and leave the monitor power
switch in the on position.
• Separate wall outlet
When the monitor is connected to a separate wall outlet, you have to turn
the monitor on and off independently of the system unit.
The length of the cable supplied with your workstation to connect the monitor
to the system unit power outlet may limit the location of the monitor. If you
want to install the monitor at a distance from the system unit, connect the
monitor to a power strip or wall outlet with a monitor power cord, or you can
order a longer monitor-to-system-unit power cable.
Before connecting any power cords or cables, check for a yellow voltage label
covering the power connector on the monitor or a voltage requirement printed
on the monitor near the power outlet.
Caution
Check the voltage requirements for the device. Connecting a device
to a power source that does not meet the voltage requirements of that
device can damage the device.
