Diagram reference: W, W2
If your graphics card has two VGA sockets), you can use either port to
connect to the monitor. Your PC may optionally be equipped with a
digital connector (DVI, W2). With the help of an adapter you can
also use this connector for your VGA monitor.
Take care that the connector and the socket fit ex-
i
actly to avoid damaging the contacts. Because of its
asymmetric form the plug only fits into the socket in
one position.
1. Connect the data cable of the monitor to one of the sockets
of the graphics card (reference W or W2 in the case of a
digital connection cable). If necessary, remove the white
guard-ring on the monitor plug.
2. Hand-tighten the screws on the monitor cable.
CAUTION! Your PC monitor is preconfigured for a screen
!
resolution of 1024 x 768 pixels and an optimal re-
fresh rate of 75 hz.
Your monitor can possibly be damaged if it does not support these
values. Please consult the operating instructions of your monitor.
You can change the screen resolution and configuration of your moni-
tor as follows (See also your monitor's User Manual):
1. Once you have powered on the PC, press the F8 key to se-
lect Safe Mode.
If you don't hit the F8 key on time, you won't see the
i
start menu which gives you the option to run in Safe
Mode. Reboot your PC and retry if you have missed
this.
2. Select the 'Secure Mode' Option.
3. Select Display Properties to designate the screen resolu-
tion for your monitor.
