Connecting to a Monitor

Monitor connections can be made using the DVI (digital) monitor port and the proper monitor cables/splitters. For VGA (analog) monitor connections, you must use the included DVI-to-VGA adapter. For information on configuring display settings, see Configuring Display Settings, page 4-5.

Tip If you connect a DVI monitor and a VGA monitor to the DVI port using a DVI to DVI/VGA splitter, the VGA monitor is the primary monitor.

If you connect one DVI monitor to the DVI port and a second DVI monitor to the Display Port using a Display Port to DVI adapter, the Display Port monitor is the primary monitor.
