Installation
Plug and Play
Our adoption of the new VESA @ Plug and Play solution eliminates complicated and time
consuming setup. It allows you to install your monitor in a Plug and Play compatible system
without the usual hassles and confusion. Your PC system can easily identify and configure itself
for use with your display. This monitor automatically tells the PC system its Extended Display
Identification (EDID) data using Display Data Channel (DDC) protocols so the PC system can
automatically configure itself to use the LCD monitor.
Connecting Your LCD Monitor
Before connecting the LCD monitor to your computer, make sure that your computer supports at
least one of the video modes supported by the LCD monitor. If the video mode, at the time of
installation, is not one supported by the LCD monitor, the LCD monitor may not display the
image as it is intended.
1.
Be sure the power switches of both the computer and the LCD monitor are off.
2.
Connect the VGA video cable from the LCD monitor to the video output connector on a
server/computer or console switch. Connect the trackball and keyboard mini din
connectors from the LCD monitor to the mouse and keyboard port of a server/computer
or console switch.
3.
Plug the computer and monitor power cables into a power outlet.
4.
Turn on the monitor power and then the server power (if connected to a console switch,
be sure to turn on the power to the console switch first, followed by the LCD monitor and
then the server/computer).
If your monitor displays an image, you have successfully installed the monitor.
If the monitor does not display an image, check all the connections and follow the
"Troubleshooting" guide beginning on page 13.
5.
Your LCD monitor is now ready to use, but to get the best image on the LCD monitor,
most of the LCD monitor parameters must be fine tuned to work with the video adapter
you are using. The following sections will guide you through the step-by-step procedures
for adjusting the parameters for your specific needs.
