Connecting your System to the P2418HZm Monitor There are three cables that are required for basic functionality of your P2418HNz monitor: The Monitor Power Cord.The USB 3.0 Upstream Cable.The Video Display Cable. (VGA, HDMI, or DisplayPort.) The USB 3.0 upstream cable is supplied with the monitor and connects to the squared upstream USB connector on the bottom of the monitor. For the best display output, we recommend using HDMI or DisplayPort for your Video connection. Note: USB 3.0 functionality requires a USB 3.0 capable computer. Note: The monitor’s USB interface works only when the monitor is On or in the power save mode. If you turn the monitor Off and then turn it straight back On, the attached peripherals may take a few seconds to resume normal functionality. Note: USB 2.0 and above is needed to support webcam video and audio functions. Slide the shutter on the front of the webcam to the left, to uncover the webcam.
