Dual-Mode DisplayPort

The Dual-Mode DisplayPort connects the computer to an optional video or audio device, such as a
high-definition television, or to any compatible digital or audio component. The Dual-Mode
DisplayPort delivers higher performance than the VGA external monitor port and improves digital
connectivity.
NOTE: To transmit video and/or audio signals through the Dual-Mode DisplayPort, you need a
DisplayPort cable (purchased separately) that supports Dual-Mode functionality.
NOTE: One DisplayPort device can be connected to the Dual-Mode DisplayPort port on the
computer. The information displayed on the computer screen can be simultaneously displayed on the
DisplayPort device.
To connect a video or audio device to the Dual-Mode DisplayPort:
1. Connect one end of the DisplayPort cable to the Dual-Mode DisplayPort port on the computer.
2. Connect the other end of the cable to the video or audio device. For additional information, see
the device manufacturer's instructions.
NOTE: To remove the device cable, press down on connector release button to disconnect it on the
computer.
