Multi Monitor Feature

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

To enable multi 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, or connect HDMI monitor cable to HDMI port on the I/O panel.

If you haven’t installed onboard VGA driver yet, please install onboard VGA driver from our support CD to your system and restart your computer.

1.When you playback HDCP-protected video from Blu-ray (BD) or HD-DVD disc, the content will be displayed only in one of the three monitors instead of all monitors.
