Integrated Graphics Processor

6.3Upgrading

All systems provide direct, dual-monitor support; a VGA montor and a DVI monitor can be connected and driven simultaneously. These systems also include a PCIe x16 graphics slot that specifically supports a PCIe x16 graphics card.

The normal upgrade procedure for these systems is as follows:

1.Shut down the system through the operating system.

2.Unplug the power cord from the rear of the system unit.

3.Remove the chassis cover.

4.Install the graphics card into the PCIe x16 graphics slot.

5.Replace the chassis cover.

6.Reconnect the power cord to the system unit.

7.Power up the system unit:

✎If an ATI graphics card with SurroundView enabled is installed in the PCIe x16 graphics slot, the ROM-Based Setup Utility (RBSU) allows the user the choice of leaving the IGP enabled to drive multiple video monitors or disable the IGP and using only the discrete graphics card. If the IGP is enabled, the user also has the choice of selecting which graphics controller is the prime (boot) device.

✎If a graphics card is installed in the PCIe x1 slot, the BIOS will disable the IGP by default, but can be re-enabled through the RBSU to allow an alternate method of multi-monitor operation. Press the F10 key during the boot process to enter the ROM-based Setup utility and re-enable the IGP for multi-monitor operation.
