Connecting a Monitor

If your monitor has a detached cable, connect it to the back of

the monitor first. Then, if you have a VGA monitor, connect the

other end of the cable to the VGA monitor port on the

computer’s back panel.

Tighten any screws to secure the connection. Then connect the

monitor’s power cord to the monitor, if necessary. You can plug

the other end of the cord into the power outlet on the back of

the computer (if you have a compatible cable) or into an

electrical outlet.

If you are connecting any other type of monitor, you need to

install a video option card. See “Installing Optional Devices” on

page 3, for information about installing option cards. Then

connect your monitor to the interface on the video option card,

as described above.
