2.10 Dual Monitor and Surround Display

Dual Monitor
This motherboard supports dual monitor. With the internal VGA output support (D-Sub
HDMI and Thunderbolt), you can easily enjoy the benefits of dual monitor without in-
stalling any add-on VGA cards to this motherboard. This motherboard also provides
independent display controllers for D-Sub, HDMI and Thunderbolt to support dual
VGA output so that the D-Sub, HDMI and Thunderbolt can drive the same or differ-
ent display contents.
To enable dual monitor, please follow the steps below:
1. Connect a D-Sub monitor cable to the D-Sub port on the I/O panel, connect a
HDMI monitor cable to the HDMI port on the I/O panel, or connect a Thunderbolt
monitor cable to the Thunderbolt ports on the I/O panel.
2. If you have already installed the onboard VGA driver from our support CD to your
system, you can freely enjoy the benefits of dual monitor function after your
system boots. If you haven't installed the onboard VGA driver yet, please install
the onboard VGA driver from our support CD to your system and restart your
computer.
D-Sub, HDMI and Thunderbolt monitors cannot be enabled at the same
time. You can only choose two of them.
