Connecting Two Monitors

CAUTION:

Before you begin any of the procedures in this section, follow the

safety instructions in the Product Information Guide.

If you purchased a graphics card that supports dual monitors, follow these
instructions to connect and enable your monitors. The instructions tell you
how to connect either two monitors (each with a VGA connector), one monitor
with a VGA connector and one monitor with a DVI connector, or a TV.

NOTICE:

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

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

Connecting Two Monitors With VGA Connectors

1 Shutdown your system.

NOTE:

If your computer has integrated video, do not connect either monitor to the

integrated video connector. If the integrated video connector is covered by a cap,
do not remove the cap to connect the monitor or the monitor will not function.

2 Connect one of the monitors to the VGA (blue) connector on the back of

the computer.

3 Connect the other monitor to the optional DVI adapter and connect the

DVI adapter to the DVI (white) connector on the back of the computer.

4 Restart your system.
