power supply to the computer and attached devices. If a 
switched mains power outlet is being used, ensure that it 
is turned off.

to ensure that you do not force the cable into your 
computer the wrong way round 

. Your computer 

may have a video adapter card installed. In this case, 
attach the signal cable to the connector on the video 
adapter card 

2. Connect the power cord to the monitor first. Then 

insert its plug in a properly grounded electrical outlet 

 . 

3. Connect the power cord to the computer. Then insert 

its plug into a properly grounded electrical outlet.

4. Turn on the monitor, then the computer (or both at the 

same time if using a power strip). 

If attaching to a PS/2 Computer, refer to the
