Adding monitors
Planning for additional monitors
All graphics cards provided with HP Z series Workstations support two simultaneous display monitors
(see
Connecting and configuring monitors on page 27). Cards that support more than two monitors
are available. The process for adding monitors depends on your graphics card(s) and the type and
number of monitors you add.
Use this process to plan for adding more monitors.
1. Assess your monitor needs:
Determine how many monitors you require.
Determine the kind of graphics performance you want.
Note the type of graphics connector used by each monitor. HP provides graphics cards with
DisplayPort (DP) and DVI interfaces, but you can use adapters and third-party cards to
interface to other graphics formats, including DVI-I, HDMI, or VGA.
TIP: Some adapters for older legacy hardware may cost more than others. You may want
to compare the cost of acquiring adapters with the cost of getting a newer monitor that
doesn't need adapters.
2. Determine if you need additional graphics cards:
Consult the graphics card documentation to determine how many monitors you can connect
to the card.
You may need to acquire adapters to match the card output to the monitor connector. (See
Matching graphics cards to monitor connectors on page 25.)
If necessary, plan to acquire a new graphics card to drive additional monitors.
The maximum number of monitors that a graphics card supports depends on the card. Most
cards provide outputs for two monitors. Some provide three or four outputs.
