Connecting a Flat-Panel Display
The port replicator includes a Digital Visual Interface-Digital (DVI-D) port, which enables you to connect your computer to a
flat-panel display. To connect to a flat panel display, you must use a DVI-D or DVI-D/I display cable. If you wish to purchase
a cable, contact your local retailer.
Your port replicator also includes a Monitor (VGA) port. For Monitor port connections, see Using Computer Monitors and
Projectors for more information.
To connect the computer to a flat-panel display
1. Connect the computer to the port replicator. See Connecting a Port Replicator for more information.
2. Plug the display cable into the DVI-D port on the port replicator. Make sure the other end is firmly connected
to the flat-panel display.
3. Plug the flat-panel display power cord into an AC outlet.
4. Turn on the computer and flat-panel display.
5. Press the Fn+F7 keys to toggle the display between your computer, the flat-panel display, or both the computer
and flat-panel display. See
Selecting a display for more information.
You cannot use the Monitor (VGA) port on your computer when a port replicator is connected to the computer. Use the
DVI-D or Monitor (VGA) port on the port replicator instead.
