If you have installed an operating system other than the factory-installed operating system, check to be 
sure that it is supported on the system.
●
If the system has multiple video sources (embedded, PCI, or PCI-Express adapters) installed (embedded 
video on some models only) and a single monitor, the monitor must be plugged into the monitor 
connector on the source selected as the primary VGA adapter. During boot, the other monitor connectors 
are disabled and if the monitor is connected into these ports, the monitor will not function. You can 
select which source will be the default VGA source in Computer Setup.
CAUTION: When the computer is plugged into an AC power source, there is always voltage applied to the 
system board. You must disconnect the power cord from the power source before opening the computer to 
prevent system board or component damage.
