that use a DisplayPort connector.

Note:

The DisplayPort connector is not applicable on some models. If your

computer has a graphics card installed, be sure to use a monitor connector on
the graphics card.

Ethernet connector

Note:

To operate the computer within FCC Class B limits, use a Category 5 Ethernet

cable.
