Using an External DVI-I Port
Your computer has a DVI-I port for supporting any external CRT or LCD
color monitor. You need a display signal cable (usually provided with the
monitor). One end of the cable must have a 24-pin connector for the system.
All you have to do is plug the cable from the monitor into the rear of the
system with a DVI-I Socket.
To connect an external monitor:
1.
Turn off your computer and make sure the monitor power switch is
turned off.
+
The notebook computer must be powered off or suspended while the
monitor is being connected. Although you can connect the external Monitor
without power off the computer and the external monitor, however, it is
harmful to both devices and it shortens the life of these devices.
2.
Connect the connector cable of the monitor to the DVI port at the back
of your computer (If connector cable is VGA port, please make sure with
using the DVI-VGA Adapter). Secure the cable connection with the
screws provided.

Most monitors use a VGA cable to connect to a PC. In this case, you can
connect the VGA cable from the monitor to the DVI-I Socket on the back of
your Notebook via a DVI-VGA Adapter. Or you can connect directly to the
monitor with DVI socket.
