Thunderbolt Port (Note) Use this port for Thunderbolt devices or Mini-DisplayPort monitors. Because of the limited I/O resources of the PC architecture, the number of Thunderbolt devices that can be used is dependent on the number of the PCI Express and PCI devices being installed. Each Thunderbolt port can daisy chain about three devices. To connect more Thunderbolt devices, adjust the settings under Peripherals\Intel(R) Thunderbolt in BIOS Setup. The two Thunderbolt ports support two DisplayPort monitors in total. The two DisplayPort monitors that are daisy chained to the same port must be separated by a Thunderbolt device. The maximum supported resolution is 3840x2160, but the actual resolutions supported are dependent 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, go to Start>Control Panel>Hardware and Sound>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.) Triple-Display Configurations for the Onboard Graphics: Triple-display configurations are supported after you install motherboard drivers in OS. Only dual-display configurations are supported during the BIOS Setup or POST process. Center/Subwoofer Speaker Out Jack (Orange) Use this audio jack to connect center/subwoofer speakers in a 5.1/7.1-channel audio configuration. Rear Speaker Out Jack (Black) This jack can be used to connect front speakers in a 4/5.1/7.1-channel audio configuration. Optical S/PDIF Out Connector This connector provides digital audio out to an external audio system that supports digital optical audio. Before using this feature, ensure that your audio system provides an optical digital audio in connector. Line In Jack (Blue) The default line in jack. Use this audio jack for line in devices such as an optical drive, walkman, etc. Line Out Jack (Green) The default line out jack. Use this audio jack for a headphone or 2-channel speaker. This jack can be used to connect front speakers in a 4/5.1/7.1-channel audio configuration. Mic In Jack (Pink) The default Mic in jack. Microphones must be connected to this jack. The audio jacks can be reconfigured to perform different functions via the audio software (except for the Line Out jack). If you install a Side Speaker, you need to retask other audio jack to be Side Speaker out. Only microphones still MUST be connected to the default Mic in jack. Refer to the instructions on setting up a 2/4/5.1/7.1-channel audio configuration in Chapter 6, "Configuring 2/4/5.1/7.1-Channel Audio." (Note) If a monitor is connected to the MDP2 Thunderbolt port, the top one of the two HDMI ports will become unavailable. Simultaneous output for the two ports is not supported.
