Yes, you need an adapter HDMI to DVI.
There are two kinds: HDMI male to DVI female, with this you will need a DVI cable.
And a HDMI female to DVI male, in this one you will need a HDMI cable.
For more information you should read this great answer about different ports, qualities and ways for connect them.
