Considerations for attaching an external monitor

•When installing an operating system, you must install the display driver for your monitor that is supplied with the computer, and the Monitor INF file that is supplied with the external monitor.

•If you set a resolution higher than the resolution you are using on the panel, and use a panel that does not support that resolution, take advantage of the virtual screen function, which enables you to display only a part of the high-resolution screen image your computer produces. You can see other parts of the image by moving the screen with the TrackPoint or other pointing device.

•If the external monitor you are using is outdated, the resolution and the refresh rate may be limited.

Using the DVI monitor

If your computer has one of the optional expansion units, a ThinkPad Mini Dock Plus Series 3 or a ThinkPad Mini Dock Series 3, you can use the Digital Visual Interface (DVI) monitor through the DVI connector

of that unit.

Notes:

•The screen mode that can be used depends on the specifications of the DVI monitor.

•Before you attach the DVI monitor, make sure that the computer is attached to the expansion unit and the system works properly.

To attach the DVI monitor, do as follows:

1.Turn off the computer.

2.Connect the DVI monitor to the DVI connector of the expansion unit, and then connect the monitor to an electrical outlet.

3.Turn on the DVI monitor and the computer. The system starts.

If the computer output does not appear on the DVI monitor, do as follows:

For a computer that has the Intel® display adapter:

1.Press Ctrl+Alt+F12. The “Intel Graphics Media Accelerator Driver for mobile” window appears.

2.Select Digital Display , Intel Dual Display Clone, or Extended Desktop. If you select Digital Display, the computer output appears on the DVI monitor only. If you select Intel Dual Display Clone or Extended Desktop, the output appears both on the computer display and on the DVI monitor.

3.Click OK.
