Apple Macintosh 6500 - Manual (Page 56)

Connecting a second monitor to increase display space
If one monitor doesn’t provide enough screen space, you can install a PCI
expansion card that provides a port for connecting a second monitor. The
second monitor gives you a larger continuous desktop area to display windows
and other items.
To connect a second monitor, purchase a video card and install it in the
computer’s PCI expansion slot, or have an Apple dealer install it for you. (If
you are installing the expansion card yourself, follow the instructions that
came with the card and the instructions in Appendix B of this manual.) Then
plug the second monitor into the port provided by the card.
When you connect an additional monitor, make sure that the ventilation
openings on the computer and the monitors are clear and unobstructed.
If there is interference on your screens or on a television or radio near
your computer, separate or reposition the affected equipment. You may
need to move the two monitors further apart so that they don’t interfere
with each other.
For additional instructions on using two monitors together, choose Macintosh
Guide (or Mac OS Guide) from the Guide (h) menu after you have connected
two monitors to your computer; click the Guide’s Index button, and select
“monitors” in the list of index terms.
IMPORTANT Though it is physically possible to install two expansion cards that
supply extra monitor ports, you can’t connect more than two monitors at a
time to your computer.
