Using your computer in monitor mode

Your computer can work in two modes: computer mode or monitor mode. This section provides instructions on how to use your computer in monitor mode.

To use your computer in monitor mode, you need to have a second computer. Connect one end of the DisplayPort cable to the DisplayPort-in connector on the rear of your computer, and the other end to the DisplayPort connector on the second computer. Use the monitor/computer mode switch on the front of your computer to switch your computer between computer mode and monitor mode.
