Multiple Displays

Connecting Your Monitor(s)

The RADEON 8500 provides hardware support for one DVI-I monitor or two VGA monitors using the DVI-I-to-VGA adapter. A TV can also be used to expand your desktop by using the S-Video out. The RADEON 7500 provides support for one VGA monitor and Composite output to a TV.

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 RADEON 8500, use the DVI-I connector. To connect a VGA monitor to the DVI-I connector, use the DVI-I-to-VGA adapter as shown below.
