Preface

 

You will need a converter box if you are using an IBM T221 Flat Panel Monitor connected to a 

computer fitted with a graphics card that supports the DVI Dual Link interface. If your graphics card 

is not a dual-link type, do not use a converter box. 

 

This manual describes the preparation required before using the converter box, how to connect the 

converter box to the monitor, how to adjust the monitor, and what to do if a problem occurs.
