Connecting a monitor

You can connect many types of monitors to your Macintosh. To connect a
monitor from a manufacturer other than Apple, refer to the instructions that
came with it.

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.

Keep these considerations in mind:

m The case of the computer is sturdy enough for you to place on top of it any

monitor with a screen that is 17 inches or smaller.

m Allow at least 3 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

positioning your computer equipment.

2

Connect the monitor power cord to the monitor.

On some monitors, the cord is already attached.
