Quad Monitor Setup - Easiest Way to setup the Horseshoe

I searched for Quad and only got two articles. We don't setup new stations very often but when we do setting the quads up right is always a PIA.  Is there a cheat sheet or reference white paper on how to do it without playing the plug, unplug, power down, power up, cuss......repeat game until you just get lucky.  Thanks!!

  • Hi Jason,

    Check in Books-On-Line, it has a few pictures and diagrams of the video cards and what monitors need to be plugged in where. I use the following basic process:
    1. Get the BOL article and locate the video cards that match my setup
    2. Plug in the monitors accordingly (DVI and DP)
    3. Power up and verify

    Please note that the recommended process is to hook up the video cables first, then power up the workstation for the first time. It's also helpful to have your quad stand set up at the same time as well.
