Power Management Modes

If you have VESA's DPM-compliant video 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.

VESA Modes	Horizontal Sync	Vertical Sync	Video	Power Indicator Power	Consumption
Normal operation	Active Active	Active	White 10	8 W (maximum)**	54 W (typical)
Active-off mode	Inactive	Inactive	Off	White (Glowing)	Less than 0.3 W
Switch off	-	-	-	Off	Less than 0.3 W

Energy Star	Power Consumption
P_ON	38.4 W***
E_TEC	120.0 kWh****

The OSD operates only in the normal operation mode. If you press any button in the active-off mode, one of the following message is displayed:

Dell UltraSharp UP3017

No DP signal from your device.

Press any key on the keyboard or move the mouse or wake it up.

If there is no display, press the monitor button again to select

the correct input source.

*Zero power consumption in OFF mode can only be achieved by disconnecting the AC mains cable from the monitor.

**Maximum power consumption with maximum luminance.
***Power consumption of On mode as defined in Energy Star 7.0 version.
****Total energy consumption in kWh as defined in Energy Star 7.0 version.

Universal Serial Bus (USB)

This section gives you information about the USB ports available on your monitor.

NOTE: Up to 2 A on USB downstream port (port with SSG-101ry icon) with BC 1.2 compliance devices; up to 0.9 A on the other 2 USB downstream ports.

Your computer has the following USB ports:

• 2 upstream - bottom

• 4 downstream - 2 at left side, 2 at bottom

Power Charging Port - the ports with 📋️icon supports fast current charging capability if the device is BC 1.2 compatible.

NOTE: The monitor's USB ports work 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.

Plug-and-Play

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 computer 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.

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 LCD Monitor Pixel Policy, see Dell support site at: http://www.dell.com/support/monitors.

Attaching the Stand

NOTE: The stand riser and stand base are detached when the monitor is shipped from the factory.

NOTE: The procedure below is applicable for the default stand. If you purchased any other stand, see the documentation shipped with the stand to set it up.

CAUTION: Place monitor on a flat, clean, and soft surface to avoid scratching the display panel.

Using the Tilt, Swivel, and Vertical Extension

NOTE: This is applicable for a monitor with a stand. If you purchased any other stand, refer to the respective stand setup guide for set up instructions.

Tilt, Swivel and Vertical Extension

With the stand attached to the monitor, you can tilt the monitor for the most comfortable viewing angle.

5° 30° 150 mm 30° 21°

NOTE: The stand is detached when the monitor is shipped from the factory.

Rotating the Monitor

Before you rotate the monitor, your monitor should be fully vertically extended and fully tilted up to avoid hitting the bottom edge of the monitor.

1 2 90° 90°

NOTE: To use the Display Rotation function (Landscape versus Portrait view) with your Dell computer, you require an updated graphics driver that is not included with this monitor. To download the graphics driver, go to www.dell.com/support and see the Download section for Video Drivers for latest driver updates.

NOTE: When in the Portrait View Mode, you may experience performance degradation in graphic-intensive applications (3D Gaming and etc.).

Adjusting the Rotation Display Settings of Your System

After you have rotated your monitor, you need to complete the procedure below to adjust the Rotation Display Settings of your System.

NOTE: If you are using the monitor with a non-Dell computer, you need to go the graphics driver website or your computer manufacturer website for information on rotating the 'contents' on your display.

To adjust the Rotation Display Settings:

1 Right-click on the desktop and click Properties.
2 Select the Settings tab and click Advanced.
3 If you have an ATI graphics card, select the Rotation tab and set the preferred rotation.
4 If you have an nVidia graphics card, click the nVidia tab, in the left-hand column select NVRotate, and then select the preferred rotation.
5 If you have an Intel ^ graphics card, select the Intel graphics tab, click Graphic Properties, select the Rotation tab, and then set the preferred rotation.

OTE: If you do not see the rotation option or it is not working correctly, go to www.dell.com/support and download the latest driver for your graphics card.

Connecting Your Monitor

WARNING: Before you begin any of the procedures in this section, follow the Safety Instructions.

To connect your monitor to the computer:

1 Turn off your computer.
2 Connect the DP-mDP/HDMI/USB cable from your monitor to the computer. (Vertically extend and tilt the monitor completely to rotate it for cable connection. See Rotating the Monitor.)
3 Switch on your monitor.
4 Select the correct input source at Monitor OSD Menu and turn on your computer.

NOTE: UP3017 default setting is DP 1.2. A DP 1.1 Graphic card may not display normally. Please refer to "product specific problems – No image when using DP connection to the PC" to change default setting.

Maintenance Guidelines

Cleaning Your Monitor

WARNING: Before cleaning the monitor, unplug the monitor power cable from the electrical outlet.

AUTION: Read and follow the Safety Instructions before cleaning the monitor.

For best practices, follow these 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, soft 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.
