Installing an expansion card

If you purchased any expansion cards for your Macintosh, you may want to
install them now. (For instructions, see Appendix B, “Installing an Expansion
Card,” as well as the documentation that came with the cards.) If you don’t
have an expansion card, go on to the next section, “Connecting a Monitor.”

Connecting a monitor

You can connect many types of monitors to your Macintosh. To connect a
monitor, refer to the instructions that came with the monitor.

Connecting the monitor power cord

Monitors have two cords to connect—a power cord and a monitor cable.

To connect the monitor power cord, follow these steps:

1

Place the monitor where you will be using it.

You may place it on top of your computer. Keep these considerations in mind:

m

Allow a few inches for air circulation around the sides of the computer and
monitor.

m

Make sure that the top of the screen is slightly below eye level when you’re
sitting at the keyboard.

m

Position the monitor to minimize glare and reflections on the screen from
overhead lights and windows.

m

Consult “Arranging Your Office” in Appendix A for suggestions on
locating your computer equipment.
