Solution
If your graphics card has a DVI
connector but your monitor has a
VGA connector, then you need to use
an adapter. An adapter should be
included in the shipping box.
If you have a sound card installed,
connect the speakers to the
connectors on the card. See "Setting
Up Your Computer" on page 9.
Your computer has eight USB
connectors (two on the front, one
internal, and five on the back) and an
IEEE 1394 connector on the front
and on the back. For more
