Surround Display Feature
This motherboard supports surround display upgrade. With the internal VGA output 
support (DVI-D, D-Sub and HDMI) 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 cards on PCIE1 and PCIE4 slots. Please refer to 
    page 19 for proper expansion card installation procedures.
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 and connect a HDMI 
    monitor cable to the HDMI port on the I/O panel. Then connect other monitor 
    cables to the corresponding connectors of the add-on PCI Express VGA cards on 
    PCIE1 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.
