The DB-15 auxiliary I/O connector on Matrox Solios eCL/XCL-B is not
compatible with VGA devices. Connecting the DB-15 connector on Matrox
Solios eCL/XCL-B to a VGA monitor or any other VGA device might damage
both the VGA device and the Matrox Solios board.
The pinout for the auxiliary I/O connector is as follows.
1. If you purchase the SOLCLBACCxxPAK accessory kit, you can replace the DB-15 auxiliary I/O connector with the optional DB-9 con-
nector. In this case, the DB-9 connector has the same pinout as auxiliary I/O connector 1 (DB-9) on the adapter board of other
Matrox Solios eCL/XCL boards. Note however, when using the optional DB-9 connector, some DB-15 signals are not available.
