Receiving "No mPD cable" message when connecting my Mac Pro to Dell U2715H monitor
I receive a "no mDP cable" message when connecting my Mac Pro Mid 2012 computer to a new Dell U2715H monitor. I have a Mac Pro mid 2012 computer with OS X 10.10.5 with two 2.4 GHz 6 core Intel Exon processor and an ATI Radeon HD 5870 video card.
I replaced the mDP to DP cable that came with the monitor and still receive the "No mPD cable" message on the Dell monitor. I also tried the second mDP port on the video card with no success. I inserted the cables several times to ensue a proper connection was made. The Dell computer appears to work as it shows the error message on the screen.
My second monitor, a Samsung S27D390, works fine using either mDP port using a mDP to HDMI cable.
Any suggestions?
Thanks
Mac Pro, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.2)
