4-2 Expanding Your Computer
Connecting an External Monitor
If you want the benefits of a larger display screen with higher resolution, you can
connect an external display monitor to your computer. Follow this procedure to connect
an external monitor:
1. Make sure that the computer is not turned on.
2. Slide the release latch towards the right to open the connector cover.
3. Plug the monitor’s D-type signal connector to the computer’s VGA connector.
4. Plug one end of the monitor’s power cord into the power socket on the monitor
and the other end to an electrical outlet.
5. To use the monitor, turn on the monitor before turning on the computer.
6. The monitor should respond by default. If not, you can switch the display to
the monitor or to both (simultaneous display), or to multi-display by pressing
the Fn+F5 hot key. In Windows, you can also change the display through the
Display Settings Properties.
