Surround Display Feature
This motherboard supports surround display upgrade. With the internal VGA output
support (D-Sub, HDMI and DVI-D by the bundled HDMI to DVI adapter) and exter-
nal add-on PCI Express VGA cards, you can easily enjoy the benefi ts of surround
display feature.
Please refer to the following steps to set up a surround display environment:
1. Install the PCI Express VGA cards on PCIE2, PCIE4 and PCIE5 slots. Please
refer to page 24 for proper expansion card installation procedures for details.
2. Connect the D-Sub monitor cable to the VGA/D-Sub port on the I/O panel,
connect HDMI monitor cable to HDMI port on the I/O panel, or connect the HDMI
to DVI adapter to the HDMI port on the I/O panel and then connect the
DVI-D monitor cable to the DVI-D connector on the adpater. Next, connect other
monitor cables to the corresponding connectors of the add-on PCI Express VGA
cards on PCIE2, PCIE4 and PCIE5 slots.
3. Boot your system. Press <F2> or <Del> to enter UEFI setup. Enter "Onboard
VGA Share Memory" option to adjust the memory capability to [32MB], [64MB],
[128MB], [256MB] or [512MB] to enable the function of VGA/D-sub. Please make
sure that the value you select is less than the total capability of the system
memory. If you do not adjust the UEFI setup, the default value of "Onboard VGA
Share Memory", [Auto], will disable VGA/D-Sub function when the add-on VGA
card is inserted to this motherboard.
4. Install the onboard VGA driver and the add-on PCI Express VGA card driver to
your system. If you have installed the drivers already, there is no need to install
them again.
5. Set up a multi-monitor display.
