The USB bus distributes 0.5 amps (500 milliamps) of power through each
port. For the purpose of power saving, please disconnect your USB device
while not in use.
5.2 Using an External DVI-I Port
Your CloudBook has a DVI-I port for supporting any external CRT or LCD
color monitor. You need a display signal cable (usually provided with the
monitor). One end of the cable must have a 24-pin connector for the system.
All you have to do is plug the cable from the monitor into the left of the
system with a DVI-I Socket.
To connect an external monitor:
1. Turn off your computer and make sure the monitor power switch is
turned off.
+
The CloudBook must be powered off or suspended while the monitor is
being connected. Although you can connect the external Monitor without
power off the CloudBook and the external monitor, however, it is harmful to
both devices and it shortens the life of these devices.
2. Connect the connector cable of the monitor to the DVI port at the left of
your CloudBook (If connector cable is VGA port, please make sure with
using the DVI-VGA Adapter). Secure the cable connection with the
screws provided.

Most monitors use a VGA cable to connect to a PC. In this case, you can
connect the VGA cable from the monitor to the DVI-I Socket on the left of
your CloudBook via a DVI-VGA Adapter. Or you can connect directly to the
monitor with DVI socket.
