3M Dynapro ET 350 Monitor User’s Installation Guide

Before installingStep 1: Connect video (VGA) signal cable

Before beginning to install the ET 350 monitor, consider the following recommendations:

￿Get the latest video driver for your host computer’s video adapter card. To find out if your driver is the most current one, check the web site of the video adapter’s manufacturer.

￿Check the host computer’s monitor settings to make sure that the resolution is not greater than 1024 x 768.

The video (VGA) signal cable carries a video signal from the computer’s video adapter to the monitor. The ET 350 monitor comes with a standard 15-pin VGA cable that plugs into the monitor’s female connector. The standard cable length is 6 feet. There are 25-foot and 50-foot cable options available.

You may choose to use a standard signal cable or make a cable using the “Video signal cable connector” pin-out in Appendix C. When making a cable, 3M Touch Systems recommends you use a high-quality shielded cable such as Belden cables 1417B, 1418B, 1522A, or 1826A.
