If you have a composite video monitor, connect the appropriate end

of the monitor cable to the composite video port on the back panel.

If you want to use a different monitor with a video interface card,

install the option card as described in Chapter 4. Then connect the

appropriate end of the monitor cable to the connector on the option

card.

4. Plug the monitor’s power cable first into the power inlet on the moni-

tor and then into an electrical outlet.

Note: You can plug some monitors into one of the two auxiliary

power outlets on the back panel. Make sure the monitor’s

power consumption does not exceed

1

amp if you plug it into

the switched AC outlet or 1.5 amps if you plug it into the

unswitched AC outlet.

5.

When you read “Setting the DIP Switches” in this chapter, be sure to

set DIP switches

l-5

and

l-6

on the front panel of the main unit to

match your monitor type.

If you have a monochrome monitor and you set your DIP switches

accordingly, you can run IBM-compatible text and Hercules graphics

software. With a color monitor and the appropriate switch settings, you

can run IBM-compatible color/graphics software.

Connecting the Keyboard

After you connect your monitor to the main unit, you can connect

the keyboard. The keyboard cable is attached to the keyboard at one

end. You connect the other end to the keyboard cable socket under the

cover on the lower right comer of the front panel.
