Connecting a Monitor
You connect a monitor to the computer’s monitor port. Some monitors also require a USB or
ADB connection to function fully. For example, some Apple ColorSync monitors must be
connected to a USB port. Other monitors, including some Apple ColorSync and AppleVision
models, have an ADB cable to connect to the computer’s ADB port. (For more information
about USB ports and devices, see the electronic documentation that came with your
computer.)
Before you connect a monitor to the computer, check the instructions that came with the
monitor for additional information. After you set up and turn on your computer, you can get
additional information on ergonomics, health and safety considerations, and maintenance in
the electronic documentation included with your computer’s software.
To connect the monitor, follow these steps:
1 Place the monitor near the computer.
2 Connect the monitor power cord to the monitor.
Some monitors already have the cord attached.
3 Plug the power cord into a grounded electrical socket or the back of the computer.
Check the documentation that came with the monitor to find out where to plug it in.
Important If you are connecting an Apple monitor that has built-in speakers or a
microphone, you may need to install monitor software after you have set up and turned on
your computer. Otherwise, you may not be able to use all the monitor’s features. See the
documentation that came with your monitor for more information. After you turn on the
computer, you can also check the Read Me file on the computer’s hard disk for any
additional information regarding the installation of monitor software.
Warning The monitor power socket on the back of the computer uses the same voltage
level as the electrical outlet to which the computer is connected. To protect your monitor,
be sure to use the appropriate adapter or voltage converter, if one is necessary.
