 If you have one of these MVNU laptops, or any laptop with a display port (pictured to the right), these are your instructions. 

 

 

 Each Classroom is now equipped with a USB-C adapter for connecting your laptop and utilizing the projector, network, and Ziggi.  

 These laptops require two adapter cables to connect (both will be provided to you):

USB-A to USB-C Adapter (for Ethernet, Ziggi, and extra USB Connections)

Displayport to HDMI / VGA Adapter

Instructions:  Upon arriving in the classroom, the setup should look like one of these.

HDMI classroom (Library, Campus Center, some Chapel, Nease, a few misc.)

VGA classroom (the rest of campus not listed above).

  • Plug in the USB-A to USB-C Adapter cable to the USB-C Connection at the teaching station, and plug the USB-A cable into your laptop.

  • Move the Video connector (VGA or HDMI) to the Displayport to HDMI / VGA Adapter and plug it in to the Displayport connection on your laptop.  Be gentle moving these cables, they have tiny pins in the ends that are easy to break!
