Figure 1-5. Connecting the monitor

The monitor type must match the video card in the main unit. If you have a color card, you can use one of two connectors: a nine-pin, female D-connector for RGB monitors or an RCA connector for composite video monitors. Consult Table l-l to make sure your card and monitor match.
