Connecting a Monitor
The way you connect your monitor to the computer depends
on the type of monitor you have. If you have a VGA monitor
(or a multifrequency monitor with an analog connector), you
can connect it to the computer’s built-in VGA port as described
below. If you have any other type of monitor (or if you want to
install a display adapter card to control your monitor), see
“Using a Display Adapter Card” on page 1-7.
Note
If a manual was provided with your monitor, refer to those
instructions along with the ones below.
Using the VGA Port
Follow these steps to connect your VGA monitor to the built-in
VGA port on the computer.
1. Place your monitor on top of or near the computer. Turn the
monitor and computer around so the backs are facing you.
2 There should be two cables provided with your monitor: the
monitor cable (to connect it to the computer) and the power
cable (to connect it to a power source). On most monitors,
the monitor cable is permanently attached to the monitor,
such as the one shown in the illustration on the next page. If
your monitor does not have an attached cable, connect the
cable to it now. (gee your monitor manual for instructions.)
