Multi Monitor Feature
This motherboard supports multi monitor feature. With the internal VGA output sup-
port (DVI-D, D-Sub, HDMI and DisplayPort), you can easily enjoy the benefits of
multi monitor feature without installing any add-on VGA card to this motherboard.
This motherboard also provides independent display controllers for DVI-D, D-Sub,
HDMI and DisplayPort to support multi VGA output so that DVI-D, D-sub, HDMI and
DisplayPort can drive same or different display contents.
To enable multi monitor feature, please follow the below steps:
1. Connect DVI-D monitor cable to DVI-D port on the I/O panel, connect D-Sub
monitor cable to D-Sub port on the I/O panel, connect HDMI monitor cable to
