capability installed. Four architectures support multi-display systems:

On-board graphics and an expansion kit with one or two GSC graphics
cards installed (one, two, or three displays).

On-board graphics and an HCRX board with or without a GSC graph-
ics card installed (one, two, or three displays).

No on-board graphics and an expansion kit with one or two GSC
graphics cards installed (one or two displays).

No on-board graphics and an HCRX graphics board with a GSC
graphics card installed (one or two displays).

See the Graphics Administration Guide (B2355-90109) for more informa-
tion about setting up multiple displays.
