Caution

Although the connectors and ports for the mouse and
keyboard are physically identical, they cannot be used

interchangeably. Be sure to plug the mouse connector into

the MOUSEport, or you may damage your system.

If your system has not already been configured, you may need

to install a mouse driver. See your mouse manual for

instructions. (If you are using Windows, the mouse drive was

automatically installed by the program.)

Connecting a Monitor

You can connect your VGA monitor to the computer’s built-in

VGA port as described below. (If you will be using a different
type of monitor, connect it to the video adapter card installed

in your system instead.)

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 Sport 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.
