2.1. Connecting the Monitor

Make certain that the power is off on your LaCie 324i monitor and computer before attaching the cables.

2.1.1. Cable Management

To keep the cables neatly organized, place them into the cable manager on the back of the LCD stand (Fig. 02). Please allow slack in the cables from the cable manager to the monitor in- puts/outputs. If the cable lengths are too tight, the ends may tug at their connections when changing from Landscape to Portrait modes.

2.1.2. Display and Video Signals

Connect the monitor and video signal cables (Fig. 03)

a. For a PC or Mac with DVI output:

Connect the DVI signal cable (included) to the DVI connector on your computer. Connect the other end of the DVI cable to the monitor’s DVI input. Tighten all screws.

b. For a PC or Mac with DisplayPort output:

Connect the DisplayPort signal cable (not included) to the Dis- playPort output on your computer. Connect the other end of the DisplayPort cable to the monitor’s DisplayPort input.

c. For a source with HDMI output:

Connect the HDMI signal cable (not included) to the HDMI output on your video source. Connect the other end to the monitor’s HDMI input.

d. For a source with Component video output:

Connect the Component signal cable (not included) to the Component output on your video source. Connect the other end to the monitor’s Component input (RCA type connectors). Please note the color of each cable end when making the connections.
