Surround Display Feature
This motherboard supports surround display upgrade. With the internal VGA output
support (DVI-D and D-Sub) and external 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 card on PCIE1 slot. Please refer to page 16 for
proper expansion card installation procedures for details.
2. Connect DVI-D monitor cable to DVI-D port on the I/O panel, and connect
D-Sub monitor cable to D-Sub port on the I/O panel. Then connect other
monitor cables to the corresponding connectors of the add-on PCI Express VGA
card on PCIE1 slot.
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 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 D-Sub function when the add-on VGA card is
inserted to this motherboard.
