Setting Up Your Studio Slim 540s

This section provides information about setting

up your Studio Slim 540s and connecting

peripherals.

Before Setting Up Your Computer

When positioning your computer, ensure that

you allow easy access to a power source,

adequate ventilation, and a level surface to

place your computer.

Restricting airflow around your Studio Slim

540s may cause it to overheat. To prevent

overheating ensure that you leave at least

10.2 cm (4 inches) at the back of the computer

and a minimum of 5.1 cm (2 inches) on all other

sides. You should never put your computer in an

enclosed space, such as a cabinet or drawer

when it is powered on.

Setting Up Your Studio Slim 540s

Connect a Video Cable to the

Computer

Your computer uses one of two different

connectors for the display. The HDMI

connector is a high-performance digital

connector that carries both video and

audio signals for displays such as TVs

and monitors with integrated speakers.

The VGA connector carries only video

signals for displays such as monitors

and projectors.

NOTE: A DVI connector may be available on

your computer if you purchased an optional

discrete graphics card.
