[. . . ] Please read the documentation of the expansion card and make necessary hardware settings for the card before you start the installation. Align the card connector with the slot and press firmly until the card is completely seated on the slot. Fasten the card to the chassis with screws. With the internal dual VGA output support (DVI-D and D-Sub), you can easily enjoy the benefits 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. If you have installed onboard VGA driver from our support CD to your system already, you can freely enjoy the benefits of dual monitor function after your system boots. If you haven't installed onboard VGA driver yet, please install onboard VGA driver from our support CD to your system and restart your computer. Then you can start to use dual monitor function on this motherboard. When you playback HDCP-protected video from Blu-ray (BD) or HD-DVD disc, the content will be displayed only in one of the two monitors instead of both monitors. Please refer to page 14 for proper expansion card installation procedures for details. Connect the other DVI-D monitor cable and D-Sub monitor cable to the corresponding connectors of the add-on PCI Express VGA card on PCIE2 slot. With the internal dual VGA output support (DVI-D and D-Sub) and the external add-on PCI Express VGA card, you can easily enjoy the benefits of surround display feature. Enter "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 BIOS setup, the default value of "Share Memory", [Auto], will disable VGA/D-Sub function when the add-on VGA card is inserted to this motherboard. 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.
