To connect the monitors to a DCD on the secondary (lower) graphics head in a Dual Head
system, follow these steps:
1. Connect the left monitor's DVI/VGA cable to the bottom video connector (channel
0) on the DCD, as shown in Figure 3-4.
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 top connector (channel 1) on the
DCD, as shown in Figure 3-4.
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.
