Opening the Drive Door
Connecting Two Monitors
NOTE: If you are connecting two monitors that have VGA connectors, you must have the
optional VGA adapter. If you are connecting two flat-panel monitors, at least one of them must
have a VGA connector. If you are connecting a television, you may connect only one monitor
(VGA or DVI) in addition to the television.
If you purchased a video 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 television.
1 Save any open files, close any open programs, and then shut down your computer
through the Start menu (see page 30).
2 Connect the monitor cables to the connectors on the back of the computer.
