Identifying Ieatures
lhe ll0 Cinema 0isplay (24-inch) is an active-matrix lC0 with ll0 backlight that includes a
built-in iSight camera, a 2.1 speaker system, and a microphone. lhe native resolution is 1920 x
1200 pixels. lhe all-in-one cable creates a docking station for portable computers, providing a
VagSafe power connection, Vini 0isplayPort video connection, and a 3-port USb hub.
lhe unit has no buttons. Power is controlled by the state of the connected computer. lt is
Oll if it detects the 0isplayPort source is powered o1. lt is in Sleep if it detects the 0isplayPort
source is powered but does not send a video signal (i.e., 0isplay Sleep). lt is Ol when the
0isplayPort source sends a valid video signal. brightness and speaker volume are controlled via
System Preferences in the Vac OS.
System Requirements
lhe ll0 Cinema 0isplay (24-inch) works with Vac computers running Vac OS \ 10.5 or later
that have a high-performance Vini 0isplayPort.

Apply packing tape diagonally, across the broken glass panel, forming an "\.' lhen, apply 3.
tape horizontally, thoroughly covering the broken pieces. Vost of the glass will still be
attached to the steel ring that runs around the perimeter of the glass panel.
wearing leather gloves, pry the shattered panel o1 the housing. 4.
Place the broken glass inside a large box, label the box, and dispose of it properly. 5.
Clean the work surface of tiny glass particles. Stand the iVac up and use a lint free cloth to 6.

that the power supply and logic board contain high voltages that pose a potential hazard
to your personal safety. lever work on or near the power supply or logic board with the
unit powered on, and as a further precaution, always make sure the unit is unplugged when
working on it with the glass panel and lC0 removed. A white, shock-hazard warning symbol is
silk-screened in the middle of the power supply module.
lhe AC/0C power supply board is a high-voltage source with the unit under power, and
remains powered up whenever the system is plugged in, whether or not the system is turned
on. Use extreme caution when troubleshooting the system with the glass panel and lC0 panel
removed.
0isconnect power to the system before performing any repairs.
0isconnect lS0 wrist straps when working on a plugged-in unit.
0on't work alone. ln the event of an electrical shock, it is important to have another
individual present who can provide assistance.
Keep one hand in your pocket when working on any unit that is plugged in. lhis will help
ensure that your body does not provide a path to ground in the event that you accidentally
make contact with the line voltage.
0on't wear |ewelry, watches, or other metallic articles that could present a risk if they
accidentally make contact with the power supply circuitry.
