the accelerated graphics port (agp) adapter, which is in the agp slot on the system board, provides the video connector. this connector is on the rear of the computer. use the video connector to connect a monitor or other display device. the following illustrations show examples of different video connectors.

    analog video connector

   

    digital (dvi-i) video connector

   

    low force helical-60 (lfh-60) video connector

   

    stereo shutter glasses video connector

   

    some models come with a digital video interface (dvi) connector for connecting a digital monitor. if you have problems viewing information with a second monitor, see “changing monitor settings” on page 15.

    models with the nvidia quadro fx 1100 or nvidia quadro fx 3000 video adapter come with a dvi-i to vga style analog converter for each dvi-i connector.

    if your software application supports it, the connector identified by an eyeglasses icon is used for stereo shutter glasses.

    to get the best performance from the nvidia quadro fx 1100 and nvidia quadro fx 3000 video adapters, you must connect the video adapter to the computer power supply. otherwise, the video adapter will be operating with very limited power, resulting in a decrease in performance for some applications. use one of the disk drive power drops to connect the video adapter to the computer power supply. this means that when you install this video adapter in your computer, you have one less power drop for optional internal devices. the following illustration shows the location of the video adapter power connector:

   

    models with the nvidia quadro nvs 280 video adapter come with a low force helical-60 (lfh-60) to dual-analog monitor pigtail cable. if you want to set up two digital monitors, you will have to purchase a separate dual-digital monitor cable.
