Question

You are the IT administrator for a small corporate network. The employee in Office 2 is setting up a virtualization environment for software development. To make the system easier to use, she has requested dual monitors. You need to upgrade the computer in Office 2 to support dual monitors. You have purchased a second monitor and placed it in the Workspace (the monitor on the left). The video card in the computer currently only supports a single monitor, so you will need to upgrade the video card to support dual monitors. In this lab, your task is to configure dual monitors as follows:
Select and install a video card that provides you with dual monitor support for both monitors using a digital connection to the video card. When installing the video card, connect the PCIe power connector to the video card.
Connect the left monitor to the newly installed video card using an HDMI cable. The new monitor is already plugged into the surge protector.
Connect the original monitor to the new video card using the DVI-D cable.
Turn on the computer.
Turn on the new monitor.
Make sure Extend these displays is selected.
Configure the display properties to show the Start menu and taskbar on the left monitor.
Configure the relationship of the two monitors to reflect the physical placement of both monitors with the new monitor 2 on the left as the main display.

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

There is no actual question in entry. The Information provided explains exactly how to set this up. Almost all video cards nowadays come with atleast 1x HDMI port and 1x DVI-D port so there should be no problem setting up the dual display. The surge protector basically provides power to the pc and monitor while also protecting it from sudden electricity spikes or low tension. Once the cables are connected to the proper slots you would simply need to go to the display settings in your OS and choose Extend these Displays under multiple displays. If the displays are not properly aligned you would then need to right click on the desktop and choose graphic settings. From there you need to click on the multiple displays tab and align the displays as you wish.
