Setting Up Your Computer - Asus G11B User Manual

Setting up your computer

This section guides you through connecting the main hardware devices, such as the external
monitor, keyboard, mouse, and power cord, to your computer.
Connecting an external monitor
Connect your monitor to the onboard HDMI output port to enjoy the Eco Energy Mode.
To connect an external monitor:
1. Connect an HDMI monitor to the HDMI port on the rear panel of your computer.
2. Plug the monitor to a power source.
When connecting the monitor to the discrete graphics card, the Eco Energy Mode is disabled.
When you are doing some tasks that do not require VGA performance, such as downloading
tasks, Eco Energy Mode cuts down the power supplied to the discrete graphics card for a low
overall system power consumption.
Connecting a USB keyboard and a USB mouse
Connect a USB keyboard and a USB mouse to the USB ports on the rear panel of your computer.
