2.7 Multi Monitor Feature
This motherboard supports multi monitor upgrade. With the internal VGA output sup-
port and external add-on PCI Express VGA cards, you can easily enjoy the benets
of multi monitor feature.
Please refer to the following steps to set up a multi monitor environment:
1. Install the PCI Express VGA card on PCIE2 slot. Please refer to page 21 for
proper expansion card installation procedures for details.
2. 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 PCIE2 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.
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.
