DiplayPort (Note 1) (Note 3) DisplayPort is one of the new generation interface technologies that delivers high quality digital imaging and audio, supporting bi-directional audio transmition. DisplayPort can support both DPCP and HDCP content protection mechanisms. Connect the audio/video device that supports DisplayPort to this port. The DisplayPort Technology can support a maximum resolution of 2560x1600p but the actual resolutions supported depend on the monitor being used. After installing the DisplayPort device, make sure the default device for sound playback is the DisplayPort device. (The item name may differ from operating system. For example, in Windows Vista, go to Start>Control Panel>Sound>Playback and set the DisplayPort device as the default playback device. Refer to the HDMI settings information on the previous page for the configuration dialog box.) Dual Display Configurations for the Onboard Graphics: The table below shows the supported dual display configurations for the onboard graphics ports when in the BIOS Setup program or when during the POST stage. There is no such limitation in operating system environment. Display Matrix Combination DVI-D + D-Sub DVI-D + HDMI DVI-D + DP HDMI + D-Sub HDMI + DP DP + D-Sub Supported or Not Yes No No Yes No No IEEE 1394a Port The IEEE 1394 port supports the IEEE 1394a specification, featuring high speed, high bandwidth and hotplug capabilities. Use this port for an IEEE 1394a device. eSATA 3Gb/s Port The eSATA 3Gb/s port conforms to SATA 3Gb/s standard and is compatible with SATA 1.5Gb/s standard. Use the port to connect an external SATA device or a SATA port multiplier. The H57j Chipset supports RAID function. Refer to Chapter 5, "Configuring SATA Hard Drive(s)," for instructions on configuring a RAID array. j Only for GA-H57M-USB3. (Note 1) To use the onboard DisplayPort, HDMI, DVI-D, and D-Sub ports, you must install an Intel CPU with integrated graphics. (Note 2) The DVI-D port does not support D-Sub connection by adapter. (Note 3) You can use only one of the onboard digital graphics ports (e.g. DisplayPort, HDMI, and DVI-D) for output when in the BIOS Setup program or when during the POST screens.

(Note 1) (Note 3)
DisplayPort is one of the new generation interface technologies that delivers high quality digital imaging
and audio, supporting bi-directional audio transmition. DisplayPort can support both DPCP and HDCP
content protection mechanisms. Connect the audio/video device that supports DisplayPort to this port.
The DisplayPort Technology can support a maximum resolution of 2560x1600p but the actual resolutions
supported depend on the monitor being used.
(Note 1) To use the onboard DisplayPort, HDMI, DVI-D, and D-Sub ports, you must install an Intel CPU with
integrated graphics.
(Note 2) The DVI-D port does not support D-Sub connection by adapter.
(Note 3) You can use only one of the onboard digital graphics ports (e.g. DisplayPort, HDMI, and DVI-D) for
output when in the BIOS Setup program or when during the POST screens.
After installing the DisplayPort device, make sure the default device for sound playback is the
DisplayPort device. (The item name may differ from operating system. For example, in Windows
Vista, go to Start>Control Panel>Sound>Playback and set the DisplayPort device as the default
playback device. Refer to the HDMI settings information on the previous page for the configura
