Adding Dual Monitors - Dell OptiPlex VDI Blaster Edition Administration Manual

Adding Dual Monitors

You can attach two monitors to the Dell FX170 OptiPlex thin clients by using a
DVI Video Splitter Cable.
NOTE: The Dell OptiPlex FX170 does not come with a DVI splitter. DVI video splitter
cables are sold separately.
CAUTION: Make sure that the unit is powered off when making any display
configuration changes.
1
With the unit turned off, attach the splitter to the DVI port of the terminal.
Connect the monitors to the other ends of the cable and then power on the
terminal.
2 Power the unit back on, and once the desktop appears, right-click and
select Screen Resolution.
3
Click the Detect button. The single monitor will change to two monitors
in the display appearance box. You can also use the Multiple displays
dropdown to select Extend these displays.
4
Click Apply at the bottom right corner to save your dual monitor
configuration. Once applied, use the Resolution dropdown menu to
choose individual resolutions for both of the monitors.
