Power Management Modes

If you have VESA's DPM™ compliance display card or software installed in your PC, the
monitor can automatically reduce its power consumption when not in use. This is
referred to as Power Save Mode*. If the computer detects input from the keyboard,
mouse, or other input devices, the monitor automatically resumes functioning. The
following table shows the power consumption and signaling of this automatic power
saving feature.

* Zero power consumption in OFF mode can only be achieved by disconnecting the
main cable from the monitor.
** Maximum power consumption with max luminance, and USB active.

The OSD functions only in the normal operation mode. When any button is pressed in
the Active-off mode, one of the following messages will be displayed:

Plug and Play Capability

You can install the monitor in any Plug and Play-compatible system. The monitor
automatically provides the computer system with its Extended Display Identification Data
(EDID) using Display Data Channel (DDC) protocols so the system can configure itself
and optimize the monitor settings. Most monitor installations are automatic; you can
select different settings if desired. For more information about changing the monitor
settings, see Operating the Monitor.

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 Off the monitor and then turn it On, the attached
peripherals may take a few seconds to resume normal functionality.
LCD Monitor Quality and Pixel Policy

During the LCD Monitor manufacturing process, it is not uncommon for one or more
pixels to become fixed in an unchanging state which are hard to see and do not affect
the display quality or usability. For more information on Dell Monitor Quality and Pixel
Policy, see Dell Support site at: http://www.dell.com/support/monitors.

Maintenance Guidelines
Cleaning Your Monitor

CAUTION: Read and follow the Safety Instructions before cleaning the monitor.
WARNING: Before cleaning the monitor, unplug the monitor power cable from
the electrical outlet.
For best practices, follow the instructions in the list below while unpacking, cleaning, or
handling your monitor:
• To clean your anti-static screen, lightly dampen a soft, clean cloth with water. If
possible, use a special screen-cleaning tissue or solution suitable for the anti-
static coating. Do not use benzene, thinner, ammonia, abrasive cleaners, or
compressed air.
• Use a lightly-dampened, warm cloth to clean the monitor. Avoid using
detergent of any kind as some detergents leave a milky film on the monitor.
• If you notice white powder when you unpack your monitor, wipe it off with a
cloth.
• Handle your monitor with care as a darker-colored monitor may get scratched
and show white scuff marks more than a lighter-colored monitor.
• To help maintain the best image quality on your monitor, use a dynamically
changing screen saver and turn Off your monitor when not in use.

Setting Up the Monitor
Attaching the Stand

NOTE: The stand is detached when the monitor is shipped from the factory.
NOTE: This is applicable for a monitor with a stand. When any other stand is
bought, please refer to the respective stand setup guide for the set up instructions.
To attach the monitor stand:

1 Remove the cover and place the monitor on it.
2 Fit the two tabs on the upper part of the stand to the groove on the back of the

function
NOTE: U2415 supports the DP MST feature. To make use of this feature, your PC
Graphics Card must be certified to DP1.2 with MST option.
The default out of factory setting in the U2415 is DP1.1a.
To enable MST connection, please use only DP cable as provided in box (or other DP1.2
certified cable) and change the DP setting to DP1.2 by performing the below steps:

A) Monitor is able to show content
1 Use OSD button to navigate to Display.
2 Go to DisplayPort 1.2 selection.

3 Select Enable or Disable accordingly
4 Follow the screen message to confirm selection of DP1.2 or DP1.1a.

B) Monitor fails to show any content (blank screen)
1 Use the and button to highlight DisplayPort or Mini DisplayPort.
2 Press and hold the button for approximately 8 seconds.
3 The DisplayPort configuration message will appear:
4 Use the button to enable DP1.2 or button to exit without making any
changes.
Repeat the above steps to change the setting back to DP 1.1a if necessary.
CAUTION: The graphics are used for the purpose of illustration only. Appearance
of the computer may vary.

Connecting the USB 3.0 cable
After you have completed connecting the Mini-DP to DP/DP/HDMI cable, follow the
procedures below to connect the USB 3.0 cable to the computer and complete your
monitor setup:
1 Connect the upstream USB 3.0 port (cable supplied) to an appropriate USB 3.0 port
on your computer. (See Bottom View for details.)
2 Connect the USB 3.0 peripherals to the downstream USB 3.0 ports on the monitor.
3 Plug the power cables for your computer and monitor into a nearby outlet.
4 Turn On the monitor and the computer.
If your monitor displays an image, installation is complete. If it does not display an
image, see Universal Serial Bus (USB) Specific Problems.
5 Use the cable slot on the monitor stand to organize the cables.

Using the Mobile-High Definition Link (MHL)
NOTE: This monitor is MHL certified.
NOTE: To use the MHL function, use only MHL certified cable and source devices
that support MHL output.
NOTE: Some MHL source devices may take more than a few seconds or longer to
output an image, depending on MHL source devices.
NOTE: When the connected MHL source device enters Standby mode, the monitor
will display black screen or show the massage below, depending on MHL source
device's output.
To enable MHL connection, please perform the below steps:

1 Plug the power cable on your monitor into a AC outlet.
2 Connect the (micro) USB port on you MHL source device to HDMI (MHL) 1 or HDMI
(MHL) 2 port on the monitor with a MHL certified cable (See Bottom View for
details).
3 Turn On the monitor and the MHL source device.
4 Select input source on monitor to HDMI (MHL) 1 or HDMI (MHL) 2 by using OSD
Menu (See Using the On-Screen Display (OSD) Menu for details.)
5 If it does not display an image, see Mobile High-Definition Link (MHL) Specific
Problems.

Troubleshooting
WARNING: Before you begin any of the procedures in this section, follow the
Safety Instructions.
Self-Test
Your monitor provides a self-test feature that allows you to check whether your monitor
is functioning properly. If your monitor and computer are properly connected but the
monitor screen remains dark, run the monitor self-test by performing the following
steps:
1 Turn off both your computer and the monitor.
2 Unplug the video cable from the back of the computer. To ensure proper Self-Test
operation, remove all digital cables from the back of computer.
3 Turn on the monitor.
The floating dialog box should appear on-screen (against a black background), if the
monitor cannot sense a video signal and is working correctly. While in self-test mode, the
power LED remains white. Also, depending upon the selected input, one of the dialogs
shown below will continuously scroll through the screen.
or
or
Troubleshooting | 57
or
4 This box also appears during normal system operation, if the video cable becomes
disconnected or damaged.
5 Turn Off your monitor and reconnect the video cable; then turn On both your
computer and the monitor.
If your monitor screen remains blank after you use the previous procedure, check your
video controller and computer, because your monitor is functioning properly.
Built-in Diagnostics
Your monitor has a built-in diagnostic tool that helps you determine if the screen
abnormality you are experiencing is an inherent problem with your monitor, or with your
computer and video card.
NOTE: You can run the built-in diagnostics only when the video cable is unplugged
and the monitor is in self-test mode.
58 | Troubleshooting
To run the built-in diagnostics:
1 Ensure that the screen is clean (no dust particles on the surface of the screen).
2 Unplug the video cable(s) from the back of the computer or monitor. The monitor
then goes into the self-test mode.
3 Press and hold Button 1 and Button 4 on the front panel simultaneously for 2
seconds. A gray screen appears.
4 Carefully inspect the screen for abnormalities.
5 Press Button 4 on the front panel again. The color of the screen changes to red.
6 Inspect the display for any abnormalities.
7 Repeat steps 5 and 6 to inspect the display in green, blue, black, white and text
screens.
The test is complete when the text screen appears. To exit, press Button 4 again.
If you do not detect any screen abnormalities upon using the built-in diagnostic tool, the
monitor is functioning properly. Check the video card and computer.
