VGA Port

The system board can only be used with an analog video monitor. Connect the monitor’s 15-pin D-shell cable connector to the VGA port (VGA1 - Blue) located at the ATX double deck ports of the board. If your monitor supports analog video but does not have a 15-pin D-shell connector, see your monitor dealer for the adapter or optional cable. After you plug the monitor cable into the VGA port, gently tighten the cable screws to hold the connector in place. Some monitors have a switch that chooses between analog and TTL (or digital) operation. If your monitor has such a switch, set it for analog.
