Multiple Displays

Connecting Your Monitor(s)

The RADEON™ 9000 PRO provides hardware support for one VGA monitor and one flat panel monitor, or two VGA monitors using a DVI-I-to- VGA adapter*. It also provides TV Output via an S-Video out or a Composite out connector.

Plug the monitor cable into your card (if you are running multiple monitors, connect their cables to the appropriate connectors), then turn on the PC and monitor(s).

To connect a flat panel directly to your card, use the DVI-I connector. To connect a VGA monitor to the DVI-I connector, plug a DVI-I-to-VGA adapter* into the DVI-I connector, then plug your monitor cable into the adapter*, as shown below.
