Dual Monitor Feature
This motherboard supports dual monitor feature. With the internal VGA output sup-
port (DVI-D, D-Sub and HDMI), you can easily enjoy the benefi ts of dual 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 dual VGA output so that DVI-D, D-sub and HDMI can drive same or different
display contents.
To enable dual 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.

time. You can only choose the combination: DVI-D + HDMI, or HDMI

HD-DVD disc, the content will be displayed only in one of the two
monitors instead of both monitors.
