Where to Find Additional Information
Set up my computer to use two
monitors?
If your computer has the required
graphics card to support dual-
monitor setup, then look in your
shipping box for a Y-cable. The
Y-cable has a single connector on one
end (plug this connector into the
back panel) and branches into two
connectors (plug these connectors
into the monitor cables). For the
tower computer, see page 10 and for
the desktop computer, see page 15.
See "Setting Up Your Computer
(Tower Orientation)" on page 9 or
"Setting Up Your Computer
(Desktop Orientation)" on page 14
for information on connecting dual
monitors to your computer.
Connect my monitor when the
monitor cable connector doesn’t
seem to fit the connector on the
back of my computer?
If your graphics card has a DVI
connector but your monitor has a
VGA connector, then you need to use
an adapter. An adapter should be
included in the shipping box.
See "Setting Up Your Computer
(Tower Orientation)" on page 9 or
"Setting Up Your Computer
(Desktop Orientation)" on page 14
for information on connecting
monitors to your computer. For more
information, contact Dell. For
information on contacting Dell, see
your
User’s Guide
