Surround Display Feature
This motherboard supports surround display upgrade. With the internal VGA output 
support (DVI-D, D-Sub, HDMI and DisplayPort) and external add-on PCI Express 
VGA cards, you can easily enjoy the benefits of surround display feature. 
Please refer to the following steps to set up a surround display environment:

1. Install the PCI Express VGA card on PCIE1, PCIE3 and PCIE4 slots. Please refer 
    to page 21 for proper expansion card installation procedures for details.
2. Connect a DVI-D monitor cable to the DVI-D port on the I/O panel, connect a 
    D-Sub monitor cable to the D-Sub port on the I/O panel, connect a HDMI monitor 
    cable to the HDMI port on the I/O panel, or connect a DisplayPort monitor cable 
    to the DisplayPort on the I/O panel. Then connect other monitor cables to the 
    corresponding connectors of the add-on PCI Express VGA card on PCIE1, PCIE3 
    and PCIE4 slots.
3. Boot your system. Press <F2> or <Del> to enter UEFI setup. Enter “Share 
    Memory” option to adjust the memory capability to [32MB], [64MB], [128MB], 
    [256MB] or [512MB] to enable the function of D-sub. Please make sure that the 
    value you select is less than the total capability of the system memory. If you do 
    not adjust the UEFI setup, the default value of “Share Memory”, [Auto], will 
    disable D-Sub function when an add-on VGA card is inserted to this motherboard.
4. Install the onboard VGA driver and the add-on PCI Express VGA card driver to  
    your system. If you have installed the drivers already, there is no need to install  
    them again. 
5. Set up a multi-monitor display.
