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 Follow the procedures in "Before You Begin" on page 61.
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.
