Connecting a computer display

You can connect a computer display (monitor) either directly to your computer or via the (optional) port replicator.
To connect a computer display, proceed as follows:
1 If you want to connect a VGA monitor, plug the display cable (1) (not supplied)
on the notebook or on the port replicator.
2
If you want to connect a TFT/DVI monitor, plug the display cable (not supplied)
into the DVI-D connector on the port replicator.
3 If necessary, plug one end of the display's power
cord (3) into the display, and the other end into an AC outlet.

DVI-D stands for Digital Visual Interface - Digital. It is a kind of DVI connector that only supports digital
video signals, so no analogue video signals. It has 24 pins.
A DVI-I connector (Digital Visual Interface - Integrated) supports digital video and analogue video signals. It has 29 pins.
You can not connect a DVI-I to VGA cable to a DVI-D connector!
