Step 2: Connecting Peripheral Cables to the SDB
Use the peripheral cables to connect the SDB to external input or output
sources depending on how you will use your SDB. For example, you may want
to connect video, graphics, and audio peripherals to your SDB.
To connect peripherals to the SDB, follow these steps:
1) Locate the peripheral connectors on the SDB retaining bracket.

Connecting the Wrong Connectors
The VGA pass-through and audio I/O connectors are not keyed,
and both are 8-pin mini-DIN. Connecting an
audio peripheral to the
VGA pass-through connector or a
VGA peripheral to the audio I/O
connector by mistake can permanently damage the SDB and your
equipment.
