Bios screenshot:
Optiplex 9020 (video options depends on bios version : A04 or A05)
The A04 and previous BIOS revisions had under the Video subsection an option for Multiple Display that was unchecked by default. When this system is configured with expansion graphics adapters, this option must be selected to use the integrated and the expansion adapters together.
Starting with revision A05 the Multi-Display option was replaced with a Primary Display option. This option allows the user to designate the onboard or expansion graphics adapter as the Primary display.
