  • Plug the power cable into the port labeled A. The side with the metal prongs goes into your wall socket, while the plastic side goes into the port on the monitor.
  • Plug the USB-C cable into the port labeled B. The other end will attach to your laptop once we're done. Either end of the cable can go in either device.
  • Plug the Display Port cable into the port labeled C.  Earlier, you took the orange plug out of this port. You don't need to connect it to the second monitor just yet. Either end of the cable can go in either device.
  • If you have an Ethernet or network cable, plug it into the port labeled D. The other end of the cable will go into a network port in your wall, or a wired network router if you use one. If you're using wifi, you don't need to worry about the network cable.

Once you turn your monitors and laptop on, you may need to rearrange the display order, depending on how you've physically arranged your devices. You can do so by rearranging your displays in the Settings menu. There's a step-by-step guide from Microsoft on how to identify and arrange your displays here.

Info
To make this setup process as simple as possible, we intentionally left out the step that would enable the USB ports on the regular monitor. If you'd like these ports turned on, please contact the FOIT helpdesk. We'll be able to walk you through attaching the extra cabling.

If you need any help with this process or you have any questions about your monitor setup, please contact FOIT at helpdesk@franklin.uga.edu or at 706-542-9900.
