Surround Display Feature This motherboard supports surround display upgrade. With the internal VGA output support (HDMI and DisplayPort) 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 PCIE2, PCIE4 and PCIE5 slots. Please refer to page 21 for proper expansion card installation procedures. 2. Connect HDMI monitor cable to HDMI port on the I/O panel, and connect DisplayPort monitor cable to DisplayPort on the I/O panel. Then connect other monitor cables to the corresponding connectors of the add-on PCI Express VGA cards on PCIE2, PCIE4 and PCIE5 slots. 3. Boot your system. Press or to enter UEFI setup. Enter "Share Memory" option to adjust the memory capability to [32MB], [64MB], [128MB], [256MB] or [512MB] to enable the function of 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 UEFI setup, the default value of "Share Memory", [Auto], will disable D-Sub function when an 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.
