The Graphic Controller ATI Mobility™ Radeon™ used in versions 3.x has the
following features:
•
Highly integrated Flat Panel and CRT GUI
•
Max. pixel clock 400 MHz
•
Dual Independent Display for CRT front and CRT/Flat Panel rear
•
CRT resolution up to 1600x1200, DVI up to 1024x768
NOTE
Termination resistors for the RGB lines are on the CR9 board for both front and rear interfaces.
At higher resolutions, the cable and connectors have great influence on picture
quality. Use very good quality cables and connectors or reduce resolution to get a
stable display of good quality. This is especially important for the highest resolution
of 1600 x 1200.

Software Installation
Since the NVIDIA and ATI graphic chips are used on a large number of computers,
many operating systems like Windows 2000, Windows XP and Linux Suse 9.1
already include high resolution drivers. The Technical Product Information
CD-ROM supplied with the CR9 includes the most commonly used software drivers
and utilities.

The PCI Mezzanine Card (PMC) Interface is an additional slot for parallel mounted
expander or option cards. Please see Appendix
of this manual for further details. The CR9 PMC Connector interface is described
7.15 IPMI (CT9)
A Baseboard management controller (BMC) is implemented on the CT9, the
interfacing between host processor and the system management network. This
controller can also work as a Peripheral management controller (PM). The BMC is
mapped into the local CPUs I/O address space, specified in the ‘CR9, CT9, CP9, VR9,
VP9 Board Specific Hardware Programmer’s Manual’. The functionality of the IPMI
controller is described in the ‘Intelligent Platform Management Interface for CT9
User’s Manual’.
For information about the System Management in CompactPCI systems, please refer
to the PICMG 2.9 specification 'System Management Specification'. More
information about IPMI can be found on the Intel website.
