There should be two cables provided with your monitor: the monitor cable (to connect it to the computer) and the power cable (to connect it to a power source). On most monitors, the monitor cable is permanently attached to the monitor. If your monitor does not have an attached cable, connect the cable to it now.
Examine the connector on the monitor cable and line it up with the monitor port on the computer. Then insert the connector into the port.

5.Plug the monitor’s power cord into the power inlet on the back of the monitor.
6.Plug the other end of the power cord into a grounded electrical outlet or into the power outlet on the back of the computer. Note that the position of the power inlet and AC outlet on your computer may be reversed.
Caution
Before you plug the monitor’s power cord into the back of your computer, make sure the monitor’s power requirements do not exceed 2 Amps at 115 volts and
1 Amp at 220 volts.
