Connecting the Monitor
Your 3Dlabs Wildcat 4110 PRO video card was factory installed prior to shipment if you purchased it as
part of a system. If you installed the card yourself, you will need to install the video driver software after
connecting the monitor. See “Installing the Software” in this chapter for instructions.
To connect the monitor:
1. Make sure the power to the computer is turned off.
2. Connect the workstation monitor’s video cable to the appropriate output port on the
3Dlabs Wildcat 4110 PRO video card. See the documentation that came with your
monitor for information on the type of connection that is required. Typically, you will
connect the monitor cable to the analog video output port (see Figure 3).
NOTE: If your monitor does not have a built-in video cable, use a shielded video cable with a 15-pin
(D-sub) video connector at one end for the video output port on the card, and the appropriate
connectors at the other end for the video input port on the monitor. See the documentation
delivered with your monitor for more information.

3. Turn on power to the workstation. If the monitor’s Power On LED does not illuminate or
the monitor does not display the startup sequence, consult Chapter 4, “Troubleshooting.”
NOTE: If you installed the video card yourself, the computer will boot into VGA mode. Go to “Installing
the Software” in this chapter for instructions on installing the video drivers.
NOTE: See “Connecting a Stereo Display Device” in this chapter for instructions on connecting other
devices to the video card.
NOTE: If you ordered the 3Dlabs Wildcat 4110 PRO video card with a system, it was installed and
configured prior to shipment. See Chapter 3, “Using the Video Card," for instructions on
adjusting the resolution, color depth, and refresh rate.
