Universal Driver Manager
This monitor may require a graphics driver (and/or .INF file) that is
compatible with your computer’s graphics adapter. A CD-ROM
containing an .INF file is included with this monitor (see the section on
Information Files). Compaq has also created a Universal Driver Manager
(UDM) release that supports all graphics adapters found on Compaq
Deskpro and Compaq Workstation products. The UDM eases graphics
driver deployment across Compaq platforms ensuring cross-compatibility
and backward-compatibility. The resulting solution enables customers to
manage and control ongoing software maintenance costs. The UDM is
available on the Compaq Support Software CD for Compaq Desktop,
Portable, and Workstation Products and the Compaq Web site:
http://www.compaq.com
Information Files
This monitor includes a CD-ROM with two information files that should
be installed onto your computer—an .INF file and an .ICM file.
n The .INF file defines monitor resources and provides specifications
used by Microsoft Windows 95/98 to install support software for
certain hardware devices. The .INF file ensures monitor
compatibility and optimization with your computer’s graphics
adapter. The CD-ROM is located in the Program License
Agreement packet. INF file updates are downloadable by clicking
on: http://www.compaq.com/products/monitors/index.html
n The .ICM file provides color matching consistency from monitor
screen to printer and is activated from within the graphics programs
that have this feature.
To install these files on your computer, insert the Compaq CD-ROM into
the computer's CD tray and follow the instructions from the menu that
appears on the monitor screen.
Setting Up the Monitor
To set up the monitor, ensure that the power is turned off to the monitor,
computer system, and other attached devices, then follow these steps:
1. Place the monitor in a convenient, well-ventilated location.
Compaq Deskpro and Compaq Workstation computers are capable
of supporting this monitor, but otherwise you must place the
monitor near, but not on top of, your computer.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of possible injury, do not attempt to lift the

monitor by yourself. This monitor weighs approximately 65 pounds and is
not intended to be placed on top of a computer. However, the Compaq
Deskpro and Compaq Workstation computers are capable of supporting a
monitor that weighs up to 100 lbs. If you are not using a Compaq Deskpro
or Workstation, place the monitor directly on a desktop or other sturdy
work surface.
2. Connect one end of the monitor signal cable 2 to the monitor,
and the other end to the 15-pin connector on the rear panel of the
computer and tighten the screws.
Be sure the signal cable aligns with the 15-pin connector. Do
not force the cable onto the connector or you may damage the
signal cable.
3. Connect the monitor power cord 1 to the rear panel of the
monitor, then plug the other end into an electrical outlet that is
easily accessible and close to the monitor.

equipment:
n Do not disable the power cord grounding plug. The grounding plug
is an important safety feature.
n Plug the power cord into a grounded (earthed) electrical outlet
that is easily accessible at all times.
n Disconnect power from the monitor by unplugging the power cord
from the electrical outlet.
n Do not place anything on power cords or cables. Arrange them so
that no one may accidentally step on or trip over them. Do not
pull on a cord or cable. When unplugging from the electrical
outlet, grasp the cord by the plug.
Using BNC Connectors
A signal cable with BNC connectors may be used in place of the 15-pin
signal cable to connect the monitor to the computer. To connect two
computers to the monitor, a BNC connector may be used together with
the 15-pin signal cable. If you have separately purchased a signal cable
with BNC connectors, use the following instructions to connect the signal
cable to the monitor.
Plug-and-play and AssetControl are not supported by the
monitor when BNC connectors are used.
1. Connect the five BNC connectors to the monitor. Push in and
twist the connectors clockwise until they are locked into place.
The color of the wires may vary, so refer to the manufacturer's
instructions included with the BNC connectors. The connectors
are in the following order from left to right:
1 Red video connector (R)
2 Green video connector (G)
3 Blue video connector (B)
4 Horizontal sync (H)
5 Vertical sync (V)
