When you install the drivers for your mouse, make sure you

identify the port to which you connected it. See the README

file on the diskette that came with your mouse for more

information.

Connecting a Monitor

The way you connect your monitor to the computer depends

on the type of monitor you have. If you have a VGA monitor

(or a multifrequency monitor with an analog connector), you

can connect it to the computer’s built-in VGA port as described

below. If you are connecting your monitor to an adapter card,

see Chapter 3.

1. Place your monitor on top of or near the computer. Turn the

monitor and computer around so the backs are facing you.

2. There should be two cables provided with your monitor: the

monitor cable (to connect it to the computer) and the power

cable (to connect it to the power source). On most monitors,

the monitor cable is permanently attached to the monitor. If

your monitor does not have an attached cable, connect the

cable to it now.

3. Examine the connector on the monitor cable and line it up

with the VGA port on the computer. Then insert the

connector into the port.

Caution

To avoid damaging the connector, be careful not to bend

the pins when you insert it.

4. If the connector has retaining screws, tighten them.

5. Plug the monitor power cord into the monitor’s power

inlet.
