Connecting and disconnecting cables
Connecting cables
1.
Place the computer face down on a soft flat surface. HP recommends that you set down a blanket,
towel, or other soft cloth to protect the bezel and screen surface from scratches or other damage.
2.
If the rear port cover is installed, remove the cover.
3.
Route the power and all peripheral cables through the opening in the base of the stand.
4.
Connect the peripheral cables to the appropriate ports.
5.
Connect the power cord to the power connector on the rear of the computer.
Connecting a display
The ports on the rear of the computer allow you to connect up to two displays to the computer.
If you are adding a display that has a DisplayPort port, then no video adapter is required. If you are adding a
display that does not have a DisplayPort port, you can purchase a video adaptor from HP for your
configuration.
DisplayPort adapters and video cables are purchased separately. HP offers the following adapters:
DisplayPort to VGA adapter
●
DisplayPort to DVI adapter
●
To connect a display:
1.
Turn off power to the computer and to the display that you are connecting to the computer.
2.
Remove the rear port cover on the computer.
3.
If your display has a DisplayPort connector, connect a DisplayPort cable directly between the DisplayPort
connector on the rear of the computer and the DisplayPort connector on the display.
4.
If your display does not have a DisplayPort connector, connect a DisplayPort video adapter to the
DisplayPort connector of the computer. Then connect a cable (VGA or DVI, depending on your
application) between the adapter and a display.
