Connecting the Display Cable to a Windows-Based Computer
Although the display cable is a split cable with two connectors, you will use only the display
connector with your computer.
1
Connect the VGA adapter to the display connector on the display cable.
2
Tighten the thumbscrews on the connector.
You can prevent bad connections and accidental damage by tightening the thumbscrews. Do
not overtighten the thumbscrews; you might strip the threads.
3
Connect the VGA adapter end of the display cable to the monitor port on the back of your
computer.
If you installed a graphics card in your computer, connect the display cable (with the VGA
adapter attached to it) to the graphics card’s port. For more information about installing
graphics cards, see the documentation that came with your computer or graphics card.
4
Tighten the thumbscrews on the connector.
5
Leave the ADB connector on the display cable unplugged.
The ADB connector is for Mac OS–based computers only.
Connecting a Mac OS–Based Computer Keyboard and Mouse to the
Desktop Stand
There is one ADB port on each side of the desktop stand for your keyboard and mouse (or
any other ADB input device).
1
Make sure the ADB connector on the display cable is plugged into the ADB port (marked
with V) on the back of your computer.
For more information, see “Connecting the Display Cable to a Mac OS–Based Computer” on
