Dell 9200 and Dell FP1905 monitor. What type of DVI cable?

I have just received a preconfigured 9200 and note it has the option of a DVI connection to the monitor. What type of DVI cable do I need- DVI-I or DVI-D? Hav eonly used VGA before and am unfamiliar with DVI.
Many thanks

oreal,

Press the Input Select button (minus) on the monitor.

Thank you for the amazingly rapid reply.
I plugged in the DVI-D cable provided with the monitor, and have a blank screen with the floating self-test feature check. Not sure where to go from here.
The PC has a NVIDIA GeForce 7300Le card.
Some guidance would be greatly appreciated.

oreal,

It is DVI-D single link, but, if you use the cable we sent you with the monitor, there will not be any problem.
