Connecting The Second Video Monitor (Cont’d)

Now all you need to do is to connect the video monitor cable to the DVI connector available on the rear of your computer, as shown on Figure 11. Notice that there is only one position that the plug present on the monitor cable will fit the connector available on the video card. So if they are not matching don’t try forcing the plug; simply rotate it 180º.

After fitting the video monitor plug on the video card connector, rotate clockwise the two thumbscrews available, see Figure 12.

Now that the two video monitors are installed, you need to turn on your computer. Windows will automatically detect the second monitor and will expand the desktop to it.

Some extra configuration may be necessary. Even if the two video monitors are working fine we recommend you to follow the steps shown on next page in order to make sure that your monitors are configured for the best video quality.
