Connecting a second monitor
You can install an expansion card that provides a second monitor port, if one monitor doesn’t provide enough screen space.
To connect a second monitor, purchase a video card and install it in one of the computer’s PCI expansion slots, 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 Chapter 8 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 increase the distance between two monitors so that they don’t interfere with each other.
IMPORTANT Though it is possible to install additional video cards that supply more monitor ports, do not connect more than two monitors at a time to your computer.
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 choose “monitors” from the index.
