2.Locate and position monitors at the work location. You may use DVI or VGA displays (see previous chapter for further explanation).

ƒDigital DVI displays are supported up to 1280 by 1024 resolution.

ƒAnalog VGA displays are supported up to 2048 by 1536 resolution.

3.Turn off the monitors and gather together the ends of the monitor input cables to the location where you will place the SideCar. Ensure that the other ends of the cables are attached to the monitors.

Using the Notebook External Monitor Port

You may be able to add an additional display by using your notebook’s external monitor port. Most Windows XP notebooks can address this external monitor as a unique display, though most Windows 2000 notebooks cannot. (However, Windows 2000 notebooks can still mirror the notebook display with the external monitor, or use the external monitor as an alternative to the notebook display.)

4.If you wish, position an extra monitor at the work

location if your notebook has its own external monitor port. (See note at right.)

5.Locate and position approved Windows XP/2000 notebook computer at the work location. Turn off notebook. Ensure that the notebook is within one meter of the preferred SideCar location (which itself must be in reach of the monitor cables).

For SideCars using a PCI adapter interface instead of a PC Card interface, it is time to install the PCI interface in the notebook docking station or desktop PC. Keep the computer powered off after installing the PCI adapter. Note: you may have to bend the PCI adapter’s slot plate slightly to fit the adapter in IBM ThinkPad docking stations.

6.Carefully attach the supplied dual-monitor Y-cable(s) to the LFH-60 connector(s) at the rear of the SideCar. Warning: the pins on the LFH-60 connector of the Y-cable are closely spaced and easily bent (which can result in one or more displays becoming non- functional until the problem is corrected.). To avoid damaging the LFH-60 connector on your dual-monitor cable, carefully insert this male connector as straight as possible into the matching LFH-60 connector on the SideCar. Tighten the thumbscrews firmly.
