2.5 Dual Monitor and Surround Display Features

Dual Monitor Feature

This motherboard supports dual monitor feature. With the internal dual VGA output

support (DVI-D and D-Sub), you can easily enjoy the benefits of dual monitor feature

without installing any add-on VGA card to this motherboard. This motherboard also

provides independent display controllers for DVI-D and D-Sub to support dual VGA

output so that DVI-D and D-sub can drive same or different display contents.

To enable dual monitor feature, please follow the below steps:

1. Connect the DVI-D monitor cable to the VGA/DVI-D port on the I/O panel. And

connect the D-Sub monitor cable to the VGA/D-Sub port on the I/O panel.

computer. Then you can start to use dual monitor function on this motherboard.
