Connecting an HP Notebook Computer and Installing Drivers

To use the monitor with an HP notebook computer, connect the USB cable between the notebook and monitor and install the USB and LAN drivers. The video signal is sent over the USB cable. The USB cable also enables all of the port replicator functions.

You can install the drivers from the CD included with the monitor before connecting the notebook to the monitor or you can install the drivers from the monitor's internal flash drive after connecting the notebook to the monitor.

To install the drivers from the monitor's internal flash drive:

1.Turn on power to the monitor and the HP notebook computer.

2.Connect one end of the provided USB cable to a USB connector on the notebook computer, and the other end to the upstream USB connector on the monitor.

NOTE: For optimal performance, connect the USB cable to a SuperSpeed USB or USB 3.0 port on the notebook. These ports are color-coded in blue or with an ss-USB icon. The monitor will also function when connected to a USB 2.0 port but will run at lower overall data rates.
