Figure 2-4  Connecting the cables
WARNING!To reduce the risk of electric shock or damage to the equipment:
Do not disable the power cord grounding plug. The grounding plug is an important safety feature.
Plug the power cord into a grounded (earthed) electrical outlet that is easily accessible at all times.
Disconnect power from the equipment by unplugging the power cord from the electrical outlet.
For your safety, do not place anything on power cords or cables. Arrange them so that no one
may accidentally step on or trip over them. Do not pull on a cord or cable. When unplugging from
the electrical outlet, grasp the cord by the plug.
7.Secure the cables in place with the cable management clip. Press the clip straight down on the
curved neck of the pedestal ensuring that the tabs on the sides of the clip snap into the slots on the
pedestal.

							Adjusting the monitor
NOTE:Your monitor model may look different than the model in the following illustrations.
1.Tilt the monitors panel forward or backward to set it to a comfortable eye level.
Figure 2-6  Tilting the monitor
2.Adjust the monitor’s height to a comfortable position for your individual workstation. The monitor’s
top bezel edge should not exceed a height that is parallel to your eye height. A monitor that is
positioned low and reclined may be more comfortable for users with corrective lenses. The monitor
should be repositioned as you adjust your working posture throughout the work day.
NOTE:When the monitor is unfolded for the first time, the display head is locked from adjusting
to a full-height position. To adjust the display head to full height, press down on the display head
to unlock it, and then pull up on the display head to raise it to the full-height position.

b.Pivot the monitor clockwise 90° from landscape to portrait orientation (2).
CAUTION:If the monitor is not in full-height and full-tilt position when pivoting, the bottom
right corner of the monitor panel will come in contact with the base and potentially cause
damage to the monitor.
Figure 2-8  Pivoting the monitor
NOTE:To view information on the screen in portrait mode, you can install the HP Display

							Turning on the monitor
1.Press the power button on the computer to turn it on.
2.Press the power button on the front of the monitor to turn it on.
CAUTION:Burn-in image damage may occur on monitors that display the same static image on-
screen for 12 or more consecutive hours of non-use. To avoid burn-in image damage on the monitor
screen, you should always activate a screen saver application or turn off the monitor when it is not in
use for a prolonged period of time. Image retention is a condition that may occur on all LCD screens.
Monitors with a “burned-in image” are not covered under the HP warranty.
NOTE:If pressing the power button has no effect, the Power Button Lockout feature may be enabled.
To disable this feature, press and hold the monitor power button for 10 seconds.
NOTE:You can disable the power LED in the OSD menu. Press the Menu button on the front of the
monitor, then select Management > Bezel Power LED > Off.
When the monitor is powered on, a status message is displayed for five seconds. The message shows
which input (DisplayPort, DVI, or VGA) is the current active signal, the status of the auto-switch source
setting (On or Off; factory default is On), the default source signal (factory default is DisplayPort), the
current preset display resolution, and the recommended preset display resolution.
The monitor automatically scans the signal inputs for an active input and uses that input for the display.
If two or more inputs are active, the monitor will display the default input source. If the default source is
not one of the active inputs, then the monitor will display the highest ranking priority input in the
following order: DisplayPort, DVI, then VGA. You can change the default source in the OSD by
pressing the front panel Menu button and selecting Source Control > Default Source.

							Mounting the monitor
The monitor panel can be attached to a wall, swing arm, or other mounting fixture.
NOTE:This apparatus is intended to be supported by a UL or CSA listed wall mount bracket.
1.Remove the monitor panel from the pedestal base. Refer to Removing the monitor pedestal base
on page 12.
CAUTION:This monitor supports the VESA industry standard 100 mm mounting holes. To
attach a third-party mounting solution to the monitor, four 4 mm, 0.7 pitch, and 10 mm long
screws are required. Longer screws must not be used because they may damage the monitor. It is
important to verify that the manufacturer’s mounting solution is compliant with the VESA standard
and is rated to support the weight of the monitor display panel. For best performance, it is
important to use the power and video cables provided with the monitor.
2.To attach the monitor to a swing arm, insert four 10 mm screws through the holes on the swing
arm plate and into the mounting holes on the monitor.
Figure 2-13  Mounting the monitor
To attach the monitor to other mounting fixtures, follow the instructions included with the mounting
fixture to ensure that the monitor is safely attached.
3.Reconnect the cables to the monitor panel.
