Follow the instructions in this section to connect the monitors to the DCD on a Dual Head
Octane system. For a Single Head Octane system, refer to "Connecting the Monitor
Cables to the DCD (Single Head Octane System)" on page 92. For a Silicon Graphics Fuel
workstation, proceed to "Connecting the Monitor Cables to the DCD (Silicon Graphics
Fuel Workstation)" on page 98.
If you are connecting the monitors to a DCD on the primary (upper) head, proceed to the
following section "Connecting to a DCD on the Primary (Upper) Graphics Head".
If you are connecting the monitors to a DCD on the secondary (lower) head, proceed to
"Connecting to a DCD on the Secondary (Lower) Graphics Head" on page 96.
To connect the monitors to a DCD on the primary (upper) graphics head in a Dual Head
system, follow these steps:
1. Connect the left monitor's DVI/VGA cable to the top video connector (channel 0)
on the DCD, as shown in Figure 3-3.
Channel 0 drives the left monitor with the image from the top of the frame buffer.
2. Connect the right monitor's DVI/VGA cable to the bottom connector (channel 1) on
the DCD, as shown in Figure 3-3.
Channel 1 drives the right monitor with the image from the bottom of the frame
buffer.
3. Tighten the thumbscrews on both sides of each video connector.
Caution: To ensure proper cursor movement, make sure you connect the monitor
signal cables to the correct video connectors on the rear of your workstation.
