Attaching the Cables: Dell™ 1703FP Flat Panel Color Monitor User's Guide
Cable Connections On Back of Monitor and Computer
Turn off your computer and disconnect the power cable.
Connect either the white (digital DVI-D) or the blue
(analog D-sub) display connector cable to the corresponding video port on the
back of your computer. Do not use both cables on the same PC.
The only case in which both cables can be used is if
they are connected to two different PCs with appropriate video
systems. (Graphics are for illustration only. System appearance may vary).
Connect the upstream USB port (cable supplied) to
an appropriate USB port on your computer .
Connect USB peripherals to the downstream USB ports (rear or side) on the monitor.
(See rear or bottom view for details.)
Connect the power cable for your monitor to the power
port on the back of the monitor.
Plug the power cables for your computer and
monitor into a nearby outlet.
Turn on the monitor and computer.
If your monitor displays an image, installation is complete. If it does not display an image, see Troubleshooting.
Use the cable holder on the monitor stand to neatly organize the cables.
Note: If your PC does not support the connection for the "digital DVI-D" video cable then it can remain unconnected
or it can be removed from the back of the monitor. This will not affect the performance of the monitor.
Note: For USB peripherals already connected to your computer, changing the USB connection
to your monitor is not necessary.
