2.6 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 benefits
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 PCIE1 slot. Please refer to page 18 for
proper expansion card installation procedures for details.
2. Connect D-Sub monitor cable to VGA port on the I/O panel. Then connect other
monitor cables to the corresponding connectors of the add-on PCI Express VGA
cards on PCIE1 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], [512MB], [1GB] or [2GB] to enable the function of VGA. 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 VGA 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.
