Well, sadly, that seems like an old monitor with only VGA input.  So, even if 
your system is like
what is shown in the PDF file with a "display port" connection there isn't much 
more than can
checked.

Unless you have a spare cable?  Or, you can check to see if one of the pins

female) on all 4 connectors to make sure they are solidly in the block and not 
pushed in.
