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.
