Connecting external stereo speakers

You can take advantage of your server’s stereo sound output by connecting
external powered (amplified) speakers.

1

Assemble the speakers and the cable you need.

You need a cable with stereo miniplugs at each end to connect one or both
speakers to the server. (Some speakers require a dual-plug adapter. Others, like
those shown here, accept a single stereo miniplug and are joined by standard
speaker wires.)

The following illustration shows the equipment configuration and the
connections for a computer sound system.

2

Turn off the server.

3

Plug a stereo miniplug into the sound output port on the server.

4

Plug a stereo miniplug into the Audio In socket on one of the speakers.

If the speakers take a dual-plug cable, connect both plugs.

5

Connect the speakers together with speaker wires, if necessary.

6

Turn on the server.

Now you hear the computer’s sound through the external speakers.

Note: To control the volume of your external speakers, open the Sound
control panel and choose Volumes in the pop-up menu. Use the Built-in
Headphones slider to adjust your external speakers. If you are playing an audio
CD, you may also need to adjust the volume control in the program you’re
using to play CDs.
