Multiple Displays (optional)
Connecting Your Monitor(s)
The RADEON™ 9000 family 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 or a 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*, as shown below.
When you use multiple monitors with your card, one
monitor will always be
Primary
. Any additional
monitor(s) will be designated as
Secondary
.
