• 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).

tion about setting up multiple displays.
