The pin functions of COM 1 port will vary according to setting of JP7, JP8, JP9 and JP10. Refer
to “COM1/COM2 RS232/422/485 Select” and “COM1/COM2 RS232/Power Select” in this chapter
for more information.
The pin functions of COM 2 port will vary according to setting of JP11, JP12, JP13 and JP14.
Refer to “COM1/COM2 RS232/422/485 Select” and “COM1/COM2 RS232/Power Select” in this
chapter for more information.
COM 3 to COM 6 are fixed at RS232.
The serial ports are asynchronous communication ports with 16C550A-compatible UARTs that
can be used with modems, serial printers, remote display terminals, and other serial devices.
Connecting External Serial Ports
Your COM port may come mounted on a card-edge bracket. Install the card-edge bracket to
an available slot at the rear of the system chassis then insert the serial port cable to the COM
connector. Make sure the colored stripe on the ribbon cable is aligned with pin 1 of the COM
connector.
BIOS Setting
Configure the serial COM ports in the Advanced menu (“SIO NUVOTON6106D” submenu) of
the BIOS. Refer to the chapter 3 for more information.
Graphics Interfaces
The display ports consist of the following:
• 1 VGA port
• 1 DVI-I (DVI-D signal) port
• 1 DP++ port
VGA Port
The VGA port is used for connecting a VGA monitor. Connect the monitor’s 15-pin D-shell cable
connector to the VGA port. After you plug the monitor’s cable connector into the VGA port,
gently tighten the cable screws to hold the connector in place.
DVI-I (DVI-D Signal) Port
The DVI-I port is used to connect an LCD monitor. This port supports DVI-D signal only. Con-
nect the display device’s cable connector to the DVI-I port. After plugging the cable connector
into the port, gently tighten the cable screws to hold the connector in place.
DP++ Port
The DP++ port which carries both digital audio and video signals is used to connect a LCD
monitor or digital TV that has the DP++ port.
BIOS Setting
Configure the display devices in the advanced menu (“Video Configuration” submenu) of the
BIOS. Refer to the chapter 3 for more information.
Driver Installation
Install the graphics driver. Refer to the chapter 4 for more information.
