Connect monitor signal cable to computer
Put the monitor on top of the computer (unless
you are using a monitor which weighs 25kg or
more, in which case it will have to go alongside
the computer unit, or on a strong shelf above it).
Depending on the type of monitor, the signal
cable may be permanently attached to the
monitor. If it isn't, push the socket end into the
back of the monitor.
Connect monitor to power supply (but don't switch on yet)
The power cable for your monitor will have a
socket on one end (like the type you connect to a
kettle). Plug this into the power connector on the
back of the monitor.
The other end of the monitor's power cable may
have a standard power plug. If so, plug it into the
power outlet on the wall.
However, if your monitor has an IEC-type power
cable (with a plug on the end) plug this into the
power outlet (marked 1A 220-240V) on the back
of the computer. (Not all types of monitor may be
connected to this power outlet. If in doubt, check
with your supplier.)
Note: The power outlet on the back of the
computer is ONLY suitable for monitors.

Push the plug end of the monitor cable into the
