Adding an external monitor

To connect a monitor to the workstation:

1. Determine the correct cable and/or adapter requirements for the monitor:

Monitor Interface Required connection

DisplayPort DisplayPort cable

VGA DisplayPort to VGA adapter with VGA cable

DVI DisplayPort to DVI adapter with DVI-D cable

Dual-Link DVI DisplayPort to DLDVI adapter with Dual-Link

cable

HDMI DisplayPort to HDMI adapter with HDMI cable

2. Connect the DisplayPort end of the cable/adapter to the DisplayPort connector on the back of the

workstation.

3. Connect the other end of the cable to the external monitor.

4. Turn on the monitor. If the workstation is running Microsoft® Windows and a graphics driver is

installed, the workstation automatically detects the external monitor and uses it as a display.

Customizing the display panel or the external monitor

You can manually select or change the monitor refresh rates, screen resolution, color settings, font

sizes, and power management settings of the workstation's display panel or external monitor. Use

either the control panel of the graphics processing unit (MXM card or integrated graphics) or select the

Windows Control Panel > Display options.

For more information about customizing your external monitor, refer to the documentation included with

the monitor.
