Just purchased an Dim 8400 and trying to hook up two monitors. The installed video is a Radeon300x with both a VGA (Blue) and DVI (white) connector. However, the monitor did not come with the DVI connector (although it is mentioned in Documentation) . I've searched the site for this connector but can't find any information nor hardware for the item in question. Does anybody have a link/information and decent documentation as to what is involved.
Is there a white connector on the rear of your monitor? If so just acuire the proper DVI cable to utilize the DVI connector. But if there is only a blue VGA connector on back you'll be stuck using that.
Oh well you'll have to get a DVI to VGA converter, just a connector that allows you to hook up a VGA to DVI which you can find here, this one should work fine:
No white connector. What it states in the documentation is that I need a connector to attach to the blue connector to convert it for the DVI connector input. No one in support can help and the salesmen are clueless.
Call Dell Customer Care to let them know that you didn't receive the DVI adapter. They will overnite it to you - you don't need to purchase this elsewhere.
