Connection
Connecting to your personal computer (Macintosh)
The MultiSync XP-series colour monitor complements the Macintosh
family of computers. Your System should have one of two
configurations:
1. The video controller is built into the computer.
2. The video controller is in the form of a video card (sometimes
referred to as graphic card, video adapter, or graphics board)
installed in a Nu-Bus or PDS slot.
Both configurations have a video connector. If you are not sure as to which
connector is the video connector, consult your computer or video card
manual. To attach the monitor to your system, follow the instructions below.
1. Turn off the power to the monitor and computer.
2. If necessary, install the video card. For more information,
refer to the manual accompanying the card.
3. Make sure the SYNC. switch on the back of the monitor is set to
the OFF position when using one of the Macintosh family or
Quadra series computers. All other Mac systems mentioned in the
quick start chart required the SYNC. switch to be in the ON
position.
4. Make sure the BNC/D-SUB Switch on the front of the
monitor is set to the D-SUB down (pushed in) position
5. Connect the 15-pin D-SUB (the larger connector) end of the
MultiCable to the video card.
6. Connect the 15-pin mini D-SUB (the smaller connector) end
of the MultiCable to the monitor.
7. Connect one end of the power cable to the MultiSync
XP17/XP21 monitor and the other end to a power outlet.
8. Turn on the monitor and computer.
9. This completes the installation
