Solution
If your computer has the required
graphics card to support dual-
monitor setup, then look in your
shipping 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
tower computer, see page 10 and for
the desktop computer, see 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 shipping box.
If you have a sound card installed,
connect the speakers to the
connectors on the card. For the tower
computer, see page 13 and for the
desktop computer, see page 18.
Suggested Resolution
