Connecti ng a Mac OS–based computer keyboard and mouse
to you r m oni tor
If you wish, you can plug your keyboard a nd mouse directly i nto th e monitor,
rather than into th e back of your computer. Th ere is one ADB por t on each
side of th e monitor for your keyboard and mouse (or any oth er ADB device).
IMPORTANT Always b e sure your computer is shut down before you plug in or
disconnect ADB cables.
1Make sure the ADB connector on the monitor cable is plugged into an ADB port (marked
by
V ) on the back of your computer.
IMPORTANT
The ADB conn ector is not optional; it’s needed for your
Mac OS–based computer to work correctly with your monitor. If not
connected properly, extended resolutions and Apple Displays software
controls will not be available.
For more i nformation, see “Connecting the Monitor Cable to a
Mac OS–Based Computer” earlier i n this chapter.
2If necessary, unplug the keyboard or mouse cable from the ADB connector on the back
of your computer.
3 Decide how you want to connect the keyboard and mouse.
For example, you can connect your mouse cable to your keyboard and then
connect the keyboard to one of the ADB ports (marked by V) on either side
of the monitor stand. Or, if you prefer, you can plug your keyboard and mouse
ca bl e s into t he ADB ports (marked by V) on either side of the monitor stand.
4Connect your keyboard and mouse cables to the monitor’s ADB ports (marked by V )
according to your preference.
