Identifying monitor connection requirements

The following are various scenarios for connecting monitors. (See Matching graphics cards to monitor connectors on page 19 for more information about the different graphic cards):

●Graphics card with DisplayPort output — If the graphics card has four DisplayPort outputs, you can connect a monitor to each connector. Use the proper adapters if required.

●Graphics card with DVI output — If you have a PCIe graphics card with two DVI outputs, you can connect a monitor to each connector. Use the proper adapters if required.

NOTE: Models that have only one DVI port always have a second graphics output option (Display Port or VGA).

Many graphics cards provide more than two monitor outputs but limit you to using only two at a time. Consult the graphics card documentation or look up information on the card according to the procedure in Finding supported graphics cards on page 19.

On a system with two DVI connections, port number 1 provides the primary display, which is where the BIOS POST screen appears after a system boot. (Usually this is the lower of the two outputs. Only one card is used during BIOS POST, although you can change this in the BIOS settings.)

●Graphics card with VGA and DL-DVI output — If the workstation does not have a PCIe graphics card, but has one or more SVGA and/or DL-DVI outputs, you can connect a monitor to each output.

●Graphics card with DMS-59 output — If the workstation has a PCIe graphics card with a DMS-59 output receptacle, use the appropriate adapter to connect your monitor.

Adapters are available to connect the DMS-59 output to two DVI or two VGA monitors.
