This motherboard supports dual monitor feature. With the internal VGA output sup- port (D-Sub and DVI-D), you can easily enjoy the benefits of dual monitor feature without installing any add-on VGA card to this motherboard. This motherboard also provides independent display controllers for D-Sub and DVI-D to support dual VGA output so that D-Sub and DVI-D can drive same or different display contents.

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

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