Surround Display Feature

This motherboard supports surround display upgrade. With the internal VGA output

support (D-Sub and HDMI) and external add-on PCI Express VGA cards, you can

easily enjoy the bene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 slot. Please refer to page 13 for

proper expansion card installation procedures for details.

2. Connect D-Sub monitor cable to D-Sub port on the I/O panel, or connect

HDMI monitor cable to HDMI port on the I/O panel. Then connect other monitor

cables to the corresponding connectors of the add-on PCI Express VGA cards on

PCIE2 slot.

3. Boot your system. Press <F2> or <Del> to enter UEFI setup. Enter “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 “Share Memory”, [Auto], will

disable D-Sub function when the add-on VGA card is inserted to this
