2. If necessary, installthedisplay card. For more informationabout
installing your card, refer to the display card manual.
3. Connect the 15-pin mini D-SUB of the appropriate signal
cable to the connector of the display card in your computer.
Tighten all screws (Figure A.1).
4. Connect the 15-pin mini D-SUB of the video signal cable and
the AC Adapter cable to the appropriate connectors on the back
of the monitor (Figure C.1). Place the AC adapter cable under
Clip A ( Figure C.1A).
NOTE: Incorrect cable connections may result in irregular operation,
damage display quality/components of LCD module and/or shorten the
module’s life.
5. Connect one end of the power cord to the AC Adapter and the
other end to the power outlet (Figure E.1).
