Solution
If your computer has the required
graphics card to support dual-
monitor setup, then look in your 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 mini-tower
computer, see "Connect the monitor"
on page 10 and for the desktop
computer, see "Connect the monitor"
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 installed a new graphics
card that runs higher than 75 W, you
need to install a card cooling fan. To
order a card cooling fan, contact
Dell. Contact information is located
in your User's Guide and at
support.dell.com.
If you have a sound card installed,
connect the speakers to the
connectors on the card. For the mini-
tower computer, see "Connect the
speakers" on page 13 and for the
desktop computer, see "Connect the
speakers" on page 18.
Where to Find Additional Information

about using dual monitors, see the
