2.5 Dual Monitor and Surround Display Features

Dual Monitor Feature

This motherboard supports dual monitor feature. With the internal VGA output sup-

port (DVI-D and D-Sub), you can easily enjoy the beneﬁ ts of dual monitor feature

without installing any add-on VGA card to this motherboard. This motherboard also

provides independent display controllers for DVI-D and D-Sub to support dual VGA

output so that DVI-D and D-sub can drive same or different display contents.

To enable dual monitor feature, please follow the below steps:

1. Connect DVI-D monitor cable to VGA/DVI-D port on the I/O panel, and connect

D-Sub monitor cable to VGA/D-Sub port on the I/O panel.

Surround Display Feature

This motherboard supports surround display upgrade. With the internal VGA output

support (DVI-D and D-Sub) and external add-on PCI Express VGA cards, you can

easily enjoy the beneﬁ ts 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 slot. Please refer to page 15 for

proper expansion card installation procedures for details.

2. Connect DVI-D monitor cable to VGA/DVI-D port on the I/O panel, and connect

D-Sub monitor cable to VGA/D-Sub port on the I/O panel. Then connect other

monitor cables to the corresponding connectors of the add-on PCI Express VGA

card on PCIE1 slot.

3. Boot your system. Press <F2> or <Del> to enter UEFI setup. Enter “Onboard

VGA Share Memory” option to adjust the memory capability to [32MB], [64MB],

[128MB], [256MB] or [512MB] to enable the function of VGA/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 “Onboard VGA

Share Memory”, [Auto], will disable VGA/D-Sub function when the 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.

HDCP Function

HDCP function is supported on this motherboard. To use HDCP

function with this motherboard, you need to adopt the monitor

that supports HDCP function as well. Therefore, you can enjoy

the superior display quality with high-deﬁ nition HDCP

encryption contents. Please refer to below instruction for more

details about HDCP function.

What is HDCP?

HDCP stands for High-Bandwidth Digital Content Protection,

a speciﬁ cation developed by Intel

®

for protecting digital

entertainment content that uses the DVI interface. HDCP is a

copy protection scheme to eliminate the possibility of

intercepting digital data midstream between the video source,

or transmitter - such as a computer, DVD player or set-top box -

and the digital display, or receiver - such as a monitor, television

or projector. In other words, HDCP speciﬁ cation is designed to

protect the integrity of content as it is being transmitted.

Products compatible with the HDCP scheme such as DVD

players, satellite and cable HDTV set-top-boxes, as well as few

entertainment PCs requires a secure connection to a compliant

display. Due to the increase in manufacturers employing HDCP

in their equipment, it is highly recommended that the HDTV or

LCD monitor you purchase is compatible.

2.6 Jumpers Setup

The illustration shows how jumpers are

setup. When the jumper cap is placed on

pins, the jumper is “Short”. If no jumper cap

is placed on pins, the jumper is “Open”. The

illustration shows a 3-pin jumper whose

pin1 and pin2 are “Short” when jumper cap

is placed on these 2 pins.

Jumper Setting Description

Clear CMOS Jumper

(CLRCMOS1)

(see p.2, No. 19)

Note: CLRCMOS1 allows you to clear the data in CMOS. To clear and reset the

system parameters to default setup, please turn off the computer and unplug

the power cord from the power supply. After waiting for 15 seconds, use a

jumper cap to short pin2 and pin3 on CLRCMOS1 for 5 seconds. However,

please do not clear the CMOS right after you update the BIOS. If you need

to clear the CMOS when you just ﬁ nish updating the BIOS, you must boot

up the system ﬁ rst, and then shut it down before you do the clear-CMOS ac-

tion. Please be noted that the password, date, time, user default proﬁ le, 1394

GUID and MAC address will be cleared only if the CMOS battery is removed.
