NEC SVGA MONITOR
This subsection explains how to connect an NEC SVGA Monitor and perform all adjust-
ments, switch settings, and external controls. Because each system board has an integrated
video controller, the monitor does not require a video controller board. Use the following
guidelines to set up the monitor.
n
Place the monitor in a dry, clean, dust-free location.
n
Allow adequate ventilation around the monitor so that heat generated can dissi-
pate properly.
n
Place the monitor away from high-capacity transformers, electric motors, and
other strong magnetic fields.
To minimize eye fatigue:
n
do not place the monitor against a bright background or where sunlight will shine
directly on it.
n
position the monitor just below eye level.
