When should I use the Mini DisplayPort on the link box?
If your computer doesn't have a spare HDMI port or doesn't support HDMI, you can use a Mini
DisplayPort
™
cable to connect your Vive to your PC.
Mini DisplayPort cable is not provided and must be purchased separately.
Connect the Mini DisplayPort cable end to the link box, and then plug the opposite end to the
DisplayPort on your computer's graphics card.
