Connecting a Thunderbolt DisplayPort device

device. This port delivers higher performance than the VGA external monitor port and improves digital
connectivity.
NOTE: Thunderbolt is new technology. Install all the latest drivers for your Thunderbolt device before
connecting the device to the Thunderbolt DisplayPort. Thunderbolt cable and Thunderbolt device (sold
separately) must be compatible with Windows. To determine whether your device is Thunderbolt Certified for
Windows, go to
