The Apple Studio Display DVI and Cinema Display can be damaged by electro-static discharge (ESD), particularly when the data cable is connected to the computer. To prevent possible damage, the Power Mac G4 (AGP Graphics) must be plugged into a grounded power outlet before connecting the Studio or Cinema Display.

Once the computer is plugged into the power outlet, you may connect the display to the computer.
