Introduction The HP Compaq Elite 8300 Ultra-slim Desktop PC provides connections for up to three displays with two digital DisplayPort connectors and one analog VGA display connector on the system’s rear I/O panel (Figure 1). This document provides details regarding the capabilities and limitations for supporting three displays. Figure 1: Rear view of the HP Compaq Elite 8300 Ultra-slim Desktop PC in desktop orientation.

Other limitations Using an HP DisplayPort-to-dual link DVID adapter is not recommended in a three-display configuration. The DisplayPort connector controlling the adapter will have limited bandwidth, restricting the adapter to supporting modes of 1920x1200@60Hz and lower. DVI-capable displays of 1920x1200@60Hz and lower resolutions do not require dual-link DVI support. Most high-resolution displays requiring dual-link DVI do not support many resolutions lower than their native high resolution.

Support for three displays with MXM graphics installed When the optional discrete MXM graphics solution is installed, the bottom DisplayPort connector and the VGA connector are controlled by the discrete MXM graphics solution. Any combination of three displays is supported and will work within the limits of the display interfaces or adapters used. Drivers for both the discrete MXM graphics solution and the Intel HD graphics must be installed.
