Connecting the Video Monitor

To connect the video monitor, place it on top of or near the

Equity I+ main unit. It is easiest to connect the monitor cable if the backs of
the monitor and the main unit are facing you.

Note: Your dealer probably installed a video card in your main unit to

control your monitor. If not, you need to install it before you can

connect your monitor. See Chapter 3 for installation instructions.

The way you connect your monitor depends on the type you have.

Refer to your monitor manual or follow these guidelines:

1. If necessary, connect the video monitor cable to your monitor. Some

cables are permanently attached to the monitor at one end.

2. Connect the appropriate end of the video monitor cable to your mono-

chrome or color/graphics card connector at the back of the main unit,

as shown in Figure 1-5. If the plug has retaining screws, tighten them

with a screwdriver.

The monitor type must match the video card in the main unit. If you
have a color card, you can use either a nine-pin female D-connector for
RGB monitors or an RCA connector for composite video monitors.

Consult Table 1-1 to make sure your card and monitor match. Be sure to

set the switches on the video card to match your monitor.
