2Using the DisplayPort for video may require an optional adapter to connect to older monitors which only support VGA and/or DVI (available at www.dell.com). Refer to the Dell Technology Guide for more information about DisplayPort.

NOTE: When connecting a DisplayPort monitor or adapter, the multi-monitor capability of the system will not be available during boot or when running DOS. Output will be limited to the DisplayPort monitor only. When the system has booted to Windows and loaded the graphics driver, then multi-monitor support will be fully functional.
