Setting Up The Monitor - Compaq TFT8000 User Manual

Universal Driver Manager
This monitor may require a graphics driver (and/or .INF file) that is
compatible with your computer's graphics adapter. A diskette containing an
.INF file is included with this monitor (see the section on Information Files).
Compaq has also created a Universal Driver Manager (UDM) release that
supports all graphics adapters found on Compaq Deskpro and Compaq
Workstation products. The UDM eases graphics driver deployment across
Compaq platforms ensuring cross-compatibility and backward-
compatibility. The resulting solution enables customers to manage and
control ongoing software maintenance costs. The UDM is available on the
Compaq Support Software CD for Compaq Desktop, Portable, and
Workstation Products and the Compaq World Wide Web site
(www.compaq.com).
Information Files
This monitor includes a diskette with two information files that should be
installed onto your computer—an .INF file and an .ICM file. The .INF file
defines monitor resources and provides specifications used by Windows 95
to install support software for certain hardware devices. The .INF file
ensures monitor compatibility and optimization with your computer's
graphics adapter. The .ICM file provides color matching consistency from
monitor screen to printer and is activated from within the graphics programs
that have this feature. To install these files on your computer, follow the
instructions on the "Configuring Your Compaq LCD Monitor" card located
in the Program License Agreement envelope along with the diskette.

Setting Up the Monitor

To set up the monitor, ensure that the power is turned off to the monitor,
computer system, and other attached devices, then follow these steps:
1. Place the monitor in a convenient, well-ventilated location near your
computer.
2. Connect one end of the monitor signal cable 4 to one of the two
connectors 2 on the rear panel of the monitor; connect the other end
to the 15-pin connector on the rear panel of the computer and tighten
the screws.
Be sure the signal cable aligns with the 15-pin connector. Do
not force the cable onto the connector or you may damage the
signal cable.
