Setting Up the Presenter Monitor

Connecting the Cables

If the Presenter board is not already installed in your workstation, install it
now, referring to the installation manual that comes with it.

To use the Presenter monitor, you must connect two cables:

•

the interface cable (the one with identical flat connectors at each end)

•

the power cable

Note:

You do not need to turn off the workstation before connecting the

cables.
