Connecting a DVI monitor

1. Make sure the power to the computer is turned off.
2. See the documentation that came with your monitor for information on the type of

connection that is required. Your monitor cable will have either a Digital Video
Interface (DVI)-I connector or a 15-pin VGA connector depending on monitor
type. If your monitor is a VGA monitor see “Connecting a VGA monitor” in this
chapter.

3. Connect the workstation monitor’s video cable to the primary DVI-I port on the

Wildcat III video card. This connector is labeled “1” in the picture above and on
the I/O panel of your card.

4. Turn on power to the workstation. If the monitor’s Power On LED does not

illuminate or the monitor does not display the startup sequence, consult Chapter 4,
“Troubleshooting.”

CAUTION: If you are connecting only one monitor to the Wildcat III 6210 or Wildcat III 6110,

you must plug that monitor into the Primary DVI-I port (labeled “1” on the I/O panel
of your card).

NOTE: If you are connecting an additional monitor to the Wildcat III 6210 or Wildcat III 6110,

connect the additional workstation monitor’s video cable to the secondary DVI-I port.
See “Enabling the Dual Monitor Feature” later in this document for information on
configuring dual displays.

Dual monitor support is not available under Windows NT.
