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, HDMI and DisplayPort), you can easily enjoy the bene

fi

 ts of 

dual monitor feature without installing any add-on VGA card to this motherboard. 

This motherboard also provides independent display controllers for DVI-D, D-Sub, 

HDMI and DisplayPort to support dual VGA output so that DVI-D, D-sub, HDMI and 

DisplayPort 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, connect HDMI monitor cable to 

    HDMI port on the I/O panel, or connect DisplayPort monitor cable to DisplayPort 

    on the I/O panel.

D-Sub, DVI-D, HDMI and DisplayPort monitors cannot be enabled at the 

same time. You can only choose two of them.

support (DVI-D, D-Sub, HDMI and DisplayPort) 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 PCIE1, PCIE4, PCIE5 and PCIE6 slots. 

    Please refer to page 18 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, connect HDMI monitor cable 

    to HDMI port on the I/O panel, or 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 PCIE1, 

    PCIE4, PCIE5 and PCIE6 slots.

3. Boot your system. Press <F2> or <Del> to enter UEFI setup. Enter “Onboard  

    VGA 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 “Onboard VGA  

    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

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.

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
