Connecting a monitor

You can connect many types of monitors 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 for connecting most types of monitors. You
should also refer to the instructions that came with the monitor for any
special instructions.

IMPORTANT

If you are connecting an Apple monitor that has built-in speakers

or a microphone, you may need to install monitor software after you have set
up and turned on your computer. Otherwise, you may not be able to use all
the monitor’s features. See the instructions that came with the monitor for
more information.

Connecting the monitor power cord

At minimum, 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 near the computer.

Keep these considerations in mind:

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

the computer.

m Allow at least three 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 positioning your computer equipment, consult
“Arranging Your Office” in Appendix A (in the section on health-related
information).

2

Connect the monitor power cord to the monitor.

On some monitors, the cord is already attached.
