Adding Dual Monitors
You can attach two monitors to the OptiPlex thin clients by using the supplied
DVI Video Splitter Cable.
1 With the unit turned off, attach the splitter to the DVI port of the terminal.
Connect the monitors to the other ends of the cable and then power on the
terminal.
2 Use the Intel Graphics Media Accelerator utility to choose extended
desktop. This can be found by right-clicking the mouse anywhere on the
Windows Desktop and then selecting Graphics Properties.
3 Make sure that the two displays selected are Digital Display and
Monitor . Ignore the third option called, Notebook , if it should appear.
4 On the left-hand side of the window, select Display Settings to change
the resolution, color depth, rotation, and power settings for the attached
monitors.
