2.11 Thunderbolt™ 2
This motherboard has two thunderbolt™ 2 connectors that support video output from
internal VGA. Due to 32-bit OS limitations, we strongly recommend using a 64-bit OS
to bring ThunderBolt™ 2 into full play. Please note that the support of Thunderbolt™ 2
makes usable memory less than installed memory when a 32-bit OS is used.
*Intel® Thunderbolt™ 2 is backwards compatible with all Thunderbolt™ cables and
devices.
For thunderbolt™ display installation please follow the steps below:
1. Thunderbolt™ cables are provided by your monitor supplier.
2. Thunderbolt™ 2 ports on this motherboard supports DisplayPort 1.2 Re-drive (Pass-
Through) mode with HBR2 Data Rates.
*If you are using a DP 1.2 monitor, plug it directly to the motherboard's thunderbolt™ 2
port.
If the DP 1.2 monitor is connected to a thunderbolt™ device which is hooked up to the
motherboard's thunderbolt™ 2 port, the monitor can only work as DP 1.1 monitor.
Internal VGA
If you want to use the internal VGA with the Thunderbolt™ ports, simply connect your
monitor to either Thunderbolt™ 2 port on the motherboard using a Thunderbolt™ 2
cable.
