12 Connecting Your Monitors
Note: If you use multiple monitors, the Radeon
®
X1950 XTX card
must be the primary graphics card. Normally, the system BIOS
determines which graphics card will be the primary.
To connect your monitors
1 Power off your computer and monitors.
2 Plug the monitor cables into their appropriate connectors.
3 Power on your monitors first, and then restart your computer so that
Windows
®
can detect the new hardware settings.
4 When the New Hardware Found Wizard appears, at the appropriate
prompt insert the ATI Installation CD to load the drivers for your
Radeon
®
X1950 XTX card.
To set up a multi-monitor display
1 From the Start button click Control Panel, then Display. Click the
Settings tab to access the basic multi-monitor configuration settings.
Note: ATI provides Catalyst
™
Control Center software that provides
many additional configuration features. It can be accessed by clicking
the Advanced button from the Display Properties > Settings tab.
2 Select the Monitor icon identified by the number 2.
3 Click Extend my Windows desktop onto this monitor.
4 Set the Screen Resolution and Color Quality as appropriate for the
second monitor. Click Apply or OK to apply these new values.
• Refer to your Windows
®
online help and documentation for
further information on using the Settings tab.

will always be Primary. Any additional monitors will be designated
as Secondary.
