If an MXM graphics card is installed, all three monitor ports are active. The integrated graphics operate DisplayPort2 (top port). The MXM/ATI drivers operate DisplayPort1 (bottom port) and VGA. If the integrated graphics are disabled in the BIOS settings, DisplayPort2 (top port) will not be active.

If an MXM graphics card is not installed, all three monitor ports are driven by the integrated graphics on the Intel 3rd Generation configurations. On some models, all three monitor ports are active but there are some limitations. For example, if a DisplayPort to DVI or HDMI adapter is installed, the VGA port will not be active. On other models, only one DisplayPort can be active. Either DisplayPort will function, but only one can be used.

When a DisplayPort to single-link DVI or DisplayPort to HDMI adapter is installed, the VGA port will not be active. This is because when one of the above adapters is used, it is not considered a true DisplayPort and will function as the other type of port. This is not an issue with a DisplayPort to dual-link DVI adapter.

When a device is plugged into the blue Line-In Audio Connector, a dialog box will pop up asking if you want to use the connector for a line-in device or a microphone. You can reconfigure the connector at any time by double- clicking the Realtek HD Audio Manager icon in the Windows taskbar.
