    I'm sure this came with instructions, & I hope you didn't install w/o reading.

    CSEL = Cable Select. This requires a special jumper cable, & allows simpler configuration for multiple HD's , rather than the M-&-S jumper settings.

    I think you meant DVI.

    Not being a Mac user I don't know if Mac compatible monitors support DVI. But unless there is a DVI connector coming from the Monitor, No.

    If you have a standard serial DIN monitor connection but the video card only has DVI there are adapters available.

    I don't remember ever buying a hard disk or many other hardware components that came with instructions.

    The last fujitsu I bought had a little instruction pamphlet with it.
    And previous drives always had the jumper settings and drive information (Cyclinders, LZ etc) marked on the top of the disk. Doesn't exactly explain how though on the disk.

    You must be buying OEM's.

    Apple's nice new expensive monitors can use this, indirectly though.
