2.5 Multi Monitor Feature

This motherboard supports multi monitor feature. With the internal VGA output

support and the external add-on PCI Express VGA card, you can easily enjoy the

benefits of multi monitor feature.

Please refer to the following steps to set up a surround display environment:

1. Install the ATI

PCI Express VGA cards on PCIE2 slot. Please refer to page 14

for proper expansion card installation procedures for details.

2. Connect D-Sub monitor cable to VGA port on the I/O panel. And connect other

monitor cables to the corresponding connectors of the add-on PCI Express

VGA cards on PCIE2 slot.

3. Boot your system. Press <F2> to enter BIOS setup. Enter "Share Memory"

option to adjust the memory capability to [32MB], [64MB], [128MB] [256MB] or

you select is less than the total capability of the system memory. If you do not

adjust the BIOS setup, the default value of "Share Memory", [Auto], will disable

VGA function when the add-on VGA card is inserted to this motherboard.
