Surround Display Feature
This motherboard supports surround display upgrade. With the internal dual VGA
output support (DVI-D and D-Sub) and the 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:
®
1. Install the NVIDIA PCI Express VGA card to PCI Express slot. Please refer to
page 15 for proper expansion card installation procedures for details.
2. Connect the DVI-D monitor cable to the VGA/DVI-D port on the I/O panel of this
motherboard. Connect the D-Sub monitor cable to the VGA/D-Sub port on the I/O
panel of this motherboard.
3. Boot your system. Press <F2> to enter BIOS setup. Enter "Share Memory"
option to adjust the memory capability to [32MB], [64MB], [128MB] or [256MB] 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.
