Connecting The Components; Connecting The Video Monitor - Epson Equity I User Manual

Connecting the Components

Once you set up the various components of your system, you need
to connect the necessary cables. If you follow the instructions and refer
to the figures in this section, you should have no trouble.

Connecting the Video Monitor

The video monitor should be on top of or near the Equity main unit.
It is easier to connect the cable if the back of the monitor and the main
unit are facing you. This may not be possible, however, if your system is
set up on computer furniture.
The exact procedure for connecting your monitor depends on the
model you have. Refer to your monitor manual for detailed instructions.
Here are some basic guidelines for connecting your video monitor to the
Equity main unit:
1. If necessary, connect the video monitor cable to your monitor. Some
cables are permanently attached to the monitor at one end.
2. Connect the appropriate end of the video monitor cable to your
monochrome or color/graphics card connector at the back of the
main unit. If the plug has retaining screws, tighten them with a screw
driver.
The monitor type must match the video card in the main unit. If you
have a color card, there are two types of connectors provided-a
nine-pin female D-connector for RGB monitors and an RCA connec-
tor for composite video monitors.
3. Plug the monitor power cable into an electrical outlet.
Note: Many monochrome monitors can be plugged into the auxil-
iary outlet at the back of the main unit provided the plug fits
into the outlet and the monitor's power consumption does not
exceed 65 watts.
