Setting Up Your XPS Desktop
Connect the Display
If you purchased the optional discrete graphics card, connect the display using the connector
on the discrete graphics card. Otherwise, connect the display using either the integrated VGA
or HDMI connector.
NOTE: The integrated VGA and HDMI connectors are disabled and capped if your
computer has a discrete graphics card.
Use the appropriate cable based on the connectors available on your computer and display.
You may need to use an appropriate adapter (DVI‑to‑VGA adapter or HDMI‑to‑DVI adapter)
to connect your display to the discrete graphics card if the connector on your display and the
discrete graphics card is different.
You can purchase the DVI‑to‑VGA adapter, HDMI‑to‑DVI adapter, and additional HDMI or DVI
cables at
www.dell.com
.
NOTE: When connecting to a single display, connect the display to ONLY ONE of the
connectors on your computer.
NOTE: Your computer supports the Intel multiple monitor feature (disabled by default). This
feature allows you to connect your computer to more than one monitor simultaneously.
To enable this feature, enter the system setup (BIOS) utility and set the
Intel Multiple
Monitor Feature
to
Auto
in the
Advanced Graphic Configuration
section.
