1.6 Secondary Display Adapter
For deployments requiring two monitors per user,
NComputing offers the N-series Secondary Display
Adaptor. This accessory is offered in VGA and DVI
models and is optimized for use with productivity
applications and 2D graphics content.
The Secondary Display Adaptor makes use of DDC
interface technology, allowing it to automatically scale
its output to the full native resolution of most
monitors. This default resolution can be changed from
within the N-series settings menu, under the
Preferences -> Display Tab.

the back of the device. This USB port is marked with a keyboard symbol.
Note: You can relocate your USB keyboard to either of the USB ports on the front of the N-
series. If you have run out of USB ports, a powered USB hub can be connected to either of
the USB ports on the front the N-series device to support additional connections.
2. Connect your second monitor to the Secondary Display Adaptor and turn it on.
