If you have only one ADB port on the back of your computer and you’re
already using it for your keyboard and mouse, unplug the keyboard and
mouse and connect them directly to your AppleVision 1710

AV

Display. For

more information, see “Connecting Your Keyboard and Mouse to the
Display” later in this chapter.

Note: Make sure you don’t plug the ADB connector into an S-video port
(marked by

æ or Æ) by mistake. The ports are the same size and it’s easy to

mistake one for the other.

IMPORTANT

When connecting ADB cables, be sure to align the symbol

V on

the connector with the same symbol on the port. If you force a connector the
wrong way, you will damage it.

Connecting the display cable to a high-density port

To connect the display to a high-density port (45-pin port) instead of a
standard display port (15-pin port), you’ll need to use an adapter. This adapter
is shipped with your computer. If you don’t have an adapter, you can purchase
one from an Apple-authorized dealer. For more information, see the manual
that came with your computer.

Note: The adapter shipped with your AppleVision 1710

AV

Display is for

connecting your display to an IBM PC-compatible computer; it is not for
connecting your display to a high-density port. For more information on
connecting your display to an IBM PC-compatible computer, see Chapter 8.
