Connecting Your Monitor(s)
The Tachyon series graphics card provides hardware support for one VGA
monitor and one flat panel monitor, or two VGA monitors using a
DVI-I-to-VGA adapter. It also provides TV Output via an S-Video out and an
S-Video-to-Composite out connector.
Plug the monitor cable into your card ( if you are running multiple monitors,
connect their cables to the appropriate connectors), then turn on the PC and
monitor(s) .
To connect a flat panel directly to your card, use the DVI-I connector. To
connect a VGA monitor to the DVI-I connector, plug a DVI-I-to-VGA
adapter into the DVI-I connector, then plug your monitor cable into the
adapter.
When you use multiple monitors with your card, one monitor will always be
Primary . Any additional monitor(s) will be designated as Secondary .
