Connecting a second monitor

You can install an expansion card that provides a second monitor port, if one monitor doesn’t

provide enough screen space.

To connect a second monitor, purchase a video card and install it in one of the computer’s

PCI expansion slots, or have an Apple dealer install it for you. (If you are installing the

expansion card yourself, follow the instructions that came with the card and the instructions

in Chapter 3.) Then connect the second monitor to the port provided by the card.

Make sure that the ventilation openings on the monitors are clear and unobstructed. If there

is interference on your screens or on a television or radio near your computer, separate or

reposition the affected equipment. You may need to move the monitors farther apart so that

they don’t interfere with each other.

For additional instructions on using two monitors together, open Mac OS Help (available in

the Help menu) after you have connected both monitors to your computer; click the Index

button, and choose “monitors” from the index.

Connecting an ADB input device

Your computer has an Apple Desktop Bus (ADB) port, which connects the mouse and the

keyboard to your computer. You can add other input devices, such as a bar-code reader,

graphics tablet, or joystick.

The ADB port is marked with the V icon. You can connect up to three ADB devices in a chain

to a single ADB port. The exact number depends on how much power the devices require.

Before you attach or remove an ADB device, turn off the computer. Attaching or removing an

ADB device while the computer is turned on could damage the ADB device or your

computer.

Important The total current used by all ADB devices connected to your computer must not

exceed 500 milliamperes (mA). Before attaching another ADB device, check the Technical

Information booklet that came with your computer and the information that came with the

ADB device for power requirements.
