Installing an expansion card

If you purchased a PCI expansion card for your Macintosh, install it now.
(See Appendix B, “Installing an Expansion Card,” for instructions.)

If you don’t have to install an expansion card, go on to the next section,
“Connecting a Monitor.”

Connecting a monitor

You can connect many types of monitors (often called

displays) to your

Macintosh computer, including most standard monitors. See the Technical
Information
booklet that came with your computer for a complete list.

This section contains instructions on connecting most types of monitors.
Monitors from manufacturers other than Apple may require adapters for their
monitor cables and power cords. If you are connecting a non-Apple monitor,
also refer to the instructions that came with the monitor.

Connecting the monitor power cord

Monitors have two cords to connect: a monitor power cord and a monitor
cable. To connect the monitor power cord, follow these steps:

1

Place the monitor on top of the computer.

Keep these considerations in mind:

m You can place monitors weighing up to 70 lb. (31.75 kg) on top of the

computer.

m Allow a few inches for air circulation around 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.

For further suggestions about placement of your computer equipment, consult
“Arranging Your Office” in Appendix A (in the section on health-related
information).
