2.6  AMD Dual Graphics Operation Guide

This motherboard supports AMD Dual Graphics feature. AMD Dual Graphics brings 

multi-GPU performance capabilities by enabling an AMD A75 FCH (Hudson-D3) 

integrated graphics processor and a discrete graphics processor to operate 

simultaneously with combined output to a single display for blisteringly-fast frame 

rates. Currently, AMD Dual Graphics Technology is only supported with Windows

®

 7 

OS, and is not available with Windows

®

 Vista

TM

 / XP OS. 

What does an AMD Dual Graphics system include?

An AMD Dual Graphics system includes an AMD Radeon HD 65XX/64XX graphics 

processor and a motherboard based on an AMD A75 FCH (Hudson-D3) integrated 

chipset, all operating in a Windows

®

 7 environment. Please refer to below PCI 

Express graphics card support list for AMD Dual Graphics. For the future update of 

more compatible PCI Express graphics cards, please visit AMD website for further

2.7 Dual Monitor and Surround Display Features

Dual Monitor Feature

This motherboard supports dual monitor feature. With the internal VGA output sup-

port (DVI-D, D-Sub and HDMI), you can easily enjoy the bene

fi

 ts of dual monitor 

feature without installing any add-on VGA card to this motherboard. This mother-

board also provides independent display controllers for DVI-D, D-Sub and HDMI to 

support dual VGA output so that DVI-D, D-sub and HDMI can drive same or different 

display contents.

To enable dual monitor feature, please follow the below steps:

1. Connect DVI-D monitor cable to DVI-D port on the I/O panel, connect D-Sub       

    monitor cable to D-Sub port on the I/O panel, or connect HDMI monitor cable to 

    HDMI port on the I/O panel.

HDMI port

D-Sub port

DVI-D port

1. D-Sub, DVI-D and HDMI monitors cannot be enabled at the same 

    time. You can only choose the combination: DVI-D + HDMI, or HDMI  

    + D-Sub.

2. When you playback HDCP-protected video from Blu-ray (BD) or 

    HD-DVD disc, the content will be displayed only in one of the two

    monitors instead of both monitors.

3. To support Dual-link DVI monitor, please do not use D-Sub and HDMI 

    ports. Please connect the DVI monitor cable to the DVI port only.

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 cards, 

you can easily enjoy the bene

fi

 ts 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 and PCIE4 slots. Please refer to 

    page 16 for proper expansion card installation procedures for details.

2. Connect DVI-D monitor cable to DVI-D port on the I/O panel, connect D-Sub       

    monitor cable to 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 and 

    PCIE4 slots.

3. Boot your system. Press <F2> or <Del> 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 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. 

    For Windows

®

 XP / XP 64-bit OS:

     

Right click the desktop, choose “Properties”, and select the “Settings” tab  

so that you can adjust the parameters of the multi-monitor according to  

the steps below. 

     

A. Click the “Identify” button to display a large number on each monitor. 

     

B. Right-click the display icon in the Display Properties dialog that you   

    wish to be your primary monitor, and then select “Primary”. When 

    you use multiple monitors with your card, one monitor will always be   

    Primary, and all additional monitors will be designated as Secondary.

     

C. Select the display icon identi

fi

 ed by the number 2. 

      

D. Click “Extend my Windows desktop onto this monitor”. 

     

E. Right-click the display icon and select “Attached”, if necessary. 

     

F. Set the “Screen Resolution” and “Color Quality” as appropriate for the      

         

    second monitor. Click “Apply” or “OK” to apply these new values. 

      

G. Repeat steps C through E for the diaplay icon identi

fi

 ed by the number  

     one to six.

6. Use Surround Display. Click and drag the display icons to positions representing  

    the physical setup of your monitors that you would like to use. The placement        

    of display icons determines how you move items from one monitor to another.

HDCP Function 

HDCP function is supported on this motherboard. To use HDCP  

function with this motherboard, you need to adopt the monitor  

that supports HDCP function as well. Therefore, you can enjoy  

the superior display quality with high-de

fi

 nition HDCP 

encryption contents. Please refer to below instruction for more  

details about HDCP function.

  What 

is 

HDCP?

HDCP stands for High-Bandwidth Digital Content Protection, 

  a 

speci

fi

 cation developed by Intel

®

 for protecting digital 

entertainment content that uses the DVI interface. HDCP is a

copy protection scheme to eliminate the possibility of 

intercepting digital data midstream between the video source, 

or transmitter - such as a computer, DVD player or set-top box - 

and the digital display, or receiver - such as a monitor, television 

or projector. In other words, HDCP speci

fi

 cation is designed to 

protect the integrity of content as it is being transmitted.

Products compatible with the HDCP scheme such as DVD 

players, satellite and cable HDTV set-top-boxes, as well as few 

entertainment PCs requires a secure connection to a compliant 

display. Due to the increase in manufacturers employing HDCP  

in their equipment, it is highly recommended that the HDTV or  

LCD monitor you purchase is compatible.

 CIR 

Receiver cannot successfully 

receive the infrared signals from 

MCE Remote Controller, please try 

to install it to the other front USB 

 port. 

3 CIR sensors in different angles

1.  Only one of the front USB port can support CIR function. When the 

CIR function is enabled, the other port will remain USB function.

2. Multi-Angle 

CIR 

Receiver is used for front USB only. Please do not 

use the rear USB bracket to connect it on the rear panel. Multi-Angle 

CIR Receiver can receive the multi-direction infrared signals (top, 

down and front), which is compatible with most of the chassis on the 

market.

3.  The Multi-Angle CIR Receiver does not support Hot-Plug function. 

Please install it before you boot the system.

2.9 Jumpers Setup 

The illustration shows how jumpers are 

setup. When the jumper cap is placed on 

pins, the jumper is “Short”. If no jumper cap 

is placed on pins, the jumper is “Open”. The 

illustration shows a 3-pin jumper whose 

pin1 and  pin2 are “Short” when jumper cap 

is placed on these 2 pins.

Jumper Setting 

Description

Clear CMOS Jumper

(CLRCMOS1)  

(see p.2,  No. 10)

Note:  CLRCMOS1 allows you to clear the data in CMOS. To clear and reset the 

system parameters to default setup, please turn off the computer and unplug 

the power cord from the power supply. After waiting for 15 seconds, use a 

jumper cap to short pin2 and pin3 on CLRCMOS1 for 5 seconds. However, 

please do not clear the CMOS right after you update the BIOS. If you need 

to clear the CMOS when you just 

fi

 nish updating the BIOS, you must boot 

up the system 

fi

 rst, and then shut it down before you do the clear-CMOS ac-

tion. Please be noted that the password, date, time, user default pro

fi

 le, 1394 

GUID and MAC address will be cleared only if the CMOS battery is removed.
