[SOLVED]Cannot use external monitor via nvidia card on the Dell Laptop

I can use optirun to run programs on the discrete card. My dell laptop seems that the HDMI port and DP port are directly connected on the card （precision 7730）. And I plugged into the port but failed. I can not see it in the xrandr too.
