Apple Macintosh LC - Manual (Page 135)

3. Attach the free end of the video cable to the video port on the expansion
card in your Macintosh LC.
4. If necessary, attach the power cord to the monitor, then plug the other
end into a grounded outlet.
Positioning monitors
When you're using two monitors, you may need to position them to avoid
interference on the screen of one monitor caused by signals from the other.
!! WARNING: When setting up monitors, be sure not to cover the ventilation
openings on the monitors or on the Macintosh LC. !!

Installing an expansion card
You may have purchased an expansion card that provides additional video,
coprocessing, networking, or some other capability for your Macintosh LC.
Some expansion cards are designed so that you can install them yourself.
Others can be installed only by an authorized Apple representative. Check the
documentation that comes with your card to see if you can install it
yourself.
!! WARNING: To avoid damaging your computer and expansion card, do not
attempt to install any expansion card in a Macintosh LC without first
checking the documentation for that card. If the documentation specifies that
an authorized Apple representative must install the card (usually because the
installation requires moving the main logic board), be sure to have your
Apple dealer or service representative do the installation. !!
Using your Macintosh LC on a network
If you use your Macintosh LC at home, you are probably using it as a stand-
alone computer -- that is, as an isolated computer system, unconnected to
other computers except perhaps by a modem. But if you use your computer at
work or at school, it may be part of a network -- a group of connected,
independently controlled computers.
All Macintosh computers are designed to be part of the AppleTalk network
system, which can include other types of personal computers, such as the
Apple IIe, the Apple IIgs, and the IBM PC and compatible computers. When it
is part of a network, a personal computer is called a workstation. In
addition to workstations, AppleTalk network systems can include much larger
computers, called mainframe computers.
The AppleTalk network system can also include peripheral devices such as
LaserWriter and ImageWriter printers, which can be shared by all users of the
network. Network users can also share programs and exchange mail, documents,
and other information by using AppleShare file servers -- specially
configured Macintosh computers that allow network users to store and share
information. Finally, a network may have one or more AppleShare print servers
-- specially configured Macintosh computers that store documents waiting to
be printed. (A single Macintosh can be used as both a file server and a print
server.)
