NOTE: Arrangement and number of connectors may vary by model.

The monitor connectors on the system board are inactive when a PCI Express x16 graphics card is installed in the computer. The integrated graphics can be enabled if a graphics card based on an Nvidia graphics controller is plugged into the PCI Express x16 slot.

If a PCI or PCI Express x1 graphics card is installed, the connectors on the card and the system board may be used at the same time. Some settings may need to be changed in Computer Setup to use both connectors. For information about setting the boot VGA controller, refer to the Computer Setup (F10) Utility Guide.
