it plugs into the appropriate port. after that, you have to manually instruct the monitor where to look for signal ... monitors are plenty dumb that way. see monitor's owner's manual
You may need to press Fn + “External Display*” to enable video output. Several presses modify the configuration (screen cloning, extended screen, on / off).
Plug one end of the HDMI or DisplayPort cable into the laptop, and the other into the monitor. It really is that obvious. If for some reason one device has only HDMI and the other only has DisplayPort, just buy a DisplayPort to HDMI cable instead, or an adapter.
