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 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 slot. Please refer to page 18 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
motherboard.

them again.
