Using more than one display

If your computer has expansion slots, you can use your Apple Multiple Scan Display with one or more additional displays connected to your computer. You may need a video card for each additional display you are using. See the manuals that came with your computer for information on working with additional displays

Connecting the display to your computer

Follow these steps to connect the display to your Macintosh computer:

IMPORTANT Before you connect any cords or cables, make sure that your computer is turned off and unplugged.

WARNING If your display is equipped with a three-wire grounding plug—a plug that has a third (grounding) pin—this plug will fit only a grounded AC outlet. This is a safety feature. If you are unable to insert the plug into the outlet, contact a licensed electrician to replace the outlet with a properly grounded outlet. Do not defeat the purpose of the grounding plug!

1Connect the socket end of the power cord to the power cord receptacle on the back of the display.
