Connecting an External Display
You can connect an external display to your notebook computer. For
example, you can use the computer with a computer display (monitor) or
projector.
To connect a computer display
Use the port replicator connector on the left side of the computer.
Plug the optional PCGA-DA5 display adapter into this connector. If
necessary, plug one end of the display’s power cord into the display, and
the other end into an AC outlet.
✍
Turn off your computer and the peripherals; unplug the AC adapter and the power cord
before connecting the external display.
Connect the power cord after connecting all the other cables.
Turn on the peripherals, then turn on your computer.
Some computer displays or projectors may not be used as a monitor with the LCD on your
computer display at the same time.
The optional i.LINK port replicator allows you to connect an external display eliminating the
need for the display adapter. See “Connecting the i.LINK Port Replicator” on page 37.
✍
See the manual that came with your computer display for more information on installation
and use.
