2.14 VGA/LCD/LVDS interface connections
The board’s PCI SVGA interface can drive conventional CRT displays
and is capable of driving a wide range of flat panel displays, including
passive LCD and active LCD displays. The board has two connectors to
support these displays: one for standard CRT VGA monitors, one for flat
panel displays, and one for LVDS type LCD panels.
2.14.1 CRT display connector (CN16)
The CRT display connector is a 15-pin D-SUB connector used for con-
ventional CRT displays.
2.14.2 LVDS LCD panel connector (CN14)
The board supports 2 channel 36-bit LVDS LCD panel displays. Users
can connect to an 36-bit LVDS LCD on it.
2.15 Ethernet configuration
The board is equipped with 2 high performance 32-bit PCI-bus Ethernet
interface which is fully compliant with IEEE 802.3U 10/100Mbps and
IEEE 802.3 z/ab 1000BASE-T standards. It is supported by all major net-
work operating systems.
2.15.1 100Base-T/1000Base-T connector (CN8, CN9)
100Base-T connections are made via the on-board RJ-45 connector
2.15.2 Network boot (Depends on Ethernet Controller
Gigabit Ethernet only)
The Network Boot feature can be utilized by incorporating the Boot
ROM image files for the appropriate network operating system. The Boot
ROM BIOS files are included in the system BIOS, which is on the utility
CD disc.
2.16 Watchdog timer configuration
An on-board watchdog timer reduces the chance of disruptions while
board working improperly. This is an invaluable protective device for
standalone or unmanned applications. Setup involves one jumper and
running the control software (refer to Appendix A).
