The DRAM video monitor port lets you connect 16-inch and smaller monitors and display thousands
of colors. This port requires Macintosh-style connectors or adapters.
■
The Macintosh-standard monitor port on the optional high-performance video card lets you connect
monitors of up to 21 inches in size and display millions of colors (depending on the amount of video
memory installed). This port requires Macintosh-style connectors or adapters.
■
The VGA monitor port on the optional high-performance video card allows you to connect a
standard VGA or SVGA monitor and use PC-style connectors.
See Appendix D, ÒTechnical InformationÓ for additional details on RAM conÞgurations, screen size
support and numbers of colors supported. You can add additional video memory ( VRAM) to increase the
number of colors available to monitors connected to the high-performance ports. See
ÒIncreasing
memoryÓ on page 21
for information about VRAM expansion.
The high-performance ports are located on the high-performance video card in the computer. A switch
on the card enables the port you want. When the computer comes from the factory, the Macintosh
standard port is enabled. If this is the Þrst time the computer has been set up and you want to connect to
the Macintosh standard port, you do not need to make any changes. If you want to connect to the VGA
port on the high-performance video card, you must change the switch setting. See
ÒSwitching video
portsÓ on page 20
for instructions.
You can connect two monitors at once, one to the standard monitor port and another to one of the high-
performance monitor ports, however you cannot connect two monitors to the high-performance video
card. Use the Monitors control panel in Mac OS to control how the monitors are conÞgured. See
Macintosh Guide (available through the Guide menu, marked with
) or
Macintosh System 7.5 for
Dummies
for additional information about using the Monitors control panel.
Connecting the monitor involves two steps: plugging in the monitor and connecting the monitor cable.
