Using The Workstation As A Monitor - HP Z1 User Manual

Using the workstation as a monitor

The DisplayPort connector on the workstation is bi-directional and lets you use the workstation as a
display for another computer, such as a laptop. The other computer (referred to as the external
graphics source) must have a graphics DisplayPort output connector.
A set of keystrokes on the workstation keyboard toggles the port from output to input and back. While
in output mode, the port drives an external monitor. While in input mode, an external graphics source
drives the workstation display.
NOTE: This feature is only supported on the Microsoft Windows operating system.
To use the workstation as a monitor:
1.
Connect one end of a DisplayPort cable to the external graphics source's DisplayPort connector.
Connect the other end to the DisplayPort connector on the back of the workstation.

2. On the workstation keyboard, simultaneously press Ctrl+Shift+S+D (switch display) to enable
the workstation to display output from the external graphics source.
3. To switch back, simultaneously press Ctrl+Shift+S+D on the workstation again. This reverts the
workstation to internal graphics source and places the workstation display in standby mode. On
the workstation, move the mouse or press the space bar to wake up the display.
NOTE: This feature relies on the My Display utility, which is subject to change with new software
and driver releases. To download the latest software and driver, go to
