Connecting Monitors

NOTE:

If you are connecting two monitors that both have VGA connectors, you must have the

optional VGA adapter, available from Dell. If you are connecting two flat-panel monitors, at least one
of them must have a VGA connector. If you are connecting a television, you may connect only one
monitor (VGA or DVI) in addition to the television.

This section provides instructions for connecting and enabling monitors. The instructions tell
you how to connect either one or two monitors (each with a VGA connector), one monitor with
a VGA connector and/or one monitor with a DVI connector, and one monitor of either type
and/or a television.

Connect the monitor cables to the connectors on the back of the computer.
If you are connecting one VGA monitor, connect it to the VGA (blue) connector on the
computer.

If you are connecting one DVI monitor, connect it to the DVI (white) connector on the
computer.
