To use the DVI-I to VGA adapter with an external monitor, do the following:

1. Connect the DVI-I to VGA adapter to the DVI-I video output connector on the port replicator.

2. Tighten the two screws on the DVI-I to VGA adapter.

3. Connect the VGA connector of the external monitor to the DVI-I to VGA adapter.

You can adjust video settings to customize the use of the port replicator. See “Working with the port
replicator utility” on page 8.

Note:

For the best results, adjust the external monitor occasionally to realign its settings with the

video output of the port replicator. For more information about the adjustment procedure, refer to the
documentation that comes with your external monitor.
