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 CRT monitor that supports the DVI interface
to your computer.
Follow this procedure to connect an external monitor:
1. Make sure that the computer is not turned on.
2. Plug the DVI adapter to the computer’s DVI-I port.
3. Plug the signal connector to the DVI adapter.
4. Plug the monitor’s power cord into 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
Fn
+
F9
.
7. You can change display settings through your operating system
(Display Properties in Windows). See your operating system
documentation or online help for specific information.
CAUTION: Do not disconnect the external monitor while the computer is in Standby
mode or Hibernation mode. If no external monitor is connected when the computer
resumes, the LCD remains blank and the output is not displayed.
