Surround Display Feature
This motherboard supports surround display upgrade. With the internal VGA
output support (DVI-D, D-Sub and HDMI) and external add-on PCI Express VGA
card, you can easily enjoy the benefits of surround display feature.
Please refer to the following steps to set up a surround display environment:
TM
1. Install the ATI PCI Express VGA cards on PCIE2 slot. Please refer to page 16
for proper expansion card installation procedures for details.
2. Connect DVI-D monitor cable to VGA/DVI-D port on the I/O panel, connect D-Sub
monitor cable to VGA/D-Sub port on the I/O panel, or connect HDMI monitor
cable to HDMI port on the I/O panel. Then connect other monitor cables to the
corresponding connectors of the add-on PCI Express VGA cards on PCIE2 slot.
DVI-D and HDMI monitors cannot display at the same time. You can only
choose the combination: DVI-D + D-Sub or HDMI + D-Sub.
3. Boot your system. Press <F2> to enter BIOS setup. Enter "Share Memory"
option to adjust the memory capability to [32MB], [64MB], [128MB] [256MB] or
[512MB] to enable the function of VGA/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 BIOS setup, the default value of "Share Memory", [Auto], will disable
VGA/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.
