1. Separate the Rack PC from the mains and switch the monitor off.
2. Insert the monitor lead in the VGA socket.
3. Screw down the plug.
4. Connect the monitor cable to the monitor.
5. Reconnect the Rack PC to the mains and switch the monitor on.
Caution
If you want to set higher clock frequencies and resolutions, first make sure that the
monitor you are using is suitable for a higher clock frequency and resolution.
If the clock frequency is too high, this can cause damage to the monitor.
Using a Mouse
You can connect a PS/2 mouse as well as a USB mouse to the Rack PC. The
USB port is supported by Windows 2000 and Windows XP.
Connecting a PS/2 Mouse
You can connect an external PS/2 mouse or another external pointing device to an
additional PS/2-compatible mouse connector.
To connect the mouse, proceed as follows:

2. Plug the cable of the PS/2 mouse or another external pointing device into the
mouse connector “PS/2 Mouse”.
3. Reconnect the Rack PC to the mains.
