If attaching a device that requires a 15 pin D-Shell receptacle for a VGA connection (eg. when the graphic
adapter output is routed directly to a 7316-TF3 display or indirectly through a KVM switch), order a
VGA to DVI Connection Converter, feature number 4276 and connect it to the main DVI connector
(labeled 1/3) of your converter cable.
If you’re connecting only one monitor, use the main connector (labeled 1/3) of your converter cable.
