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.
