3. Connect monitor to Put the monitor on top of the computer computer (unless it weighs 15 kg or more, like the 19- inch high-resolution monitor which can be used for 400-series machines, in which case it will have to go alongside, or on a strong shelf above). Colour monitors If you have a colour monitor, it will have a cable with different connectors at either end. Push the big plug into the back of the monitor, and the small plug into the socket on the back of the computer marked ANALOGUE RGB. Both plugs and sockets are wider at the top than at the bottom, so it isn't possible to put them in the wrong way up. Secure the connector to the computer with a small flat- bladed screwdriver.
Standard-resolution If you have a standard-resolution monochrome monochrome monitor for a 300-series machine, it will have a cable with round plugs on either end. Push one plug into the socket on the back of the computer unit marked MONO VIDEO, and the other into the socket marked VIDEO IN on the back of the monitor. Note - if you want to connect anything else to your computer (like a monochrome monitor to a 400-series machine, a printer or Econet network), go to the end of this chapter now.
