www.dell.com | support.dell.com Frequently Asked Questions How Do I... Set up my computer to use two monitors? Connect my monitor when the monitor cable connector doesn't seem to fit the connector on the back of my computer? Connect my speakers? Find the right connectors for my USB or IEEE 1394 devices? Solution If your computer has the required graphics card to support dual-monitor setup, then look in your box for a Y-cable. The cable has a single connector on one end (plug this connector into the back panel) and branches into two connectors (plug these connectors in the monitor cables). For the Dell Precision 670 computer, see "Setting Up Your Dell Precision 670 Computer" on page 9 and for the Dell Precision 470 computer, see "Setting Up Your Dell Precision 470 Computer" on page 15. 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 box. If you have a sound card installed, connect the speakers to the connectors on the card.
