Connecting an external monitor
Use a VGA or a DVI-I cable to connect an external monitor to your docking station.
Using your USB 2.0 docking station
IMPORTANT: While using your docking station, keep it connected to a power outlet.
Otherwise, the devices connected to it will not function properly.
NOTE:
• The VGA / DVI-I cable is purchased separately.
• We recommend that you connect one external monitor (VGA or DVI-I) at a time. When
you use the VGA and DVI-I ports simultaneously, the screen resolution of the VGA monitor
is automatically adjusted to that of the DVI-I monitor, which may cause undesirable display
on the VGA monitor.
• Refer to Release Note.txt in the Driver CD for more information on the video feature of
your docking station.
