I/O Information

DP (DisplayPort)

There are two DisplayPort connectors located on the rear I/O back panel. DisplayPort, developed
by the VESA consortium, delivers digital display at a fast refresh rate. It can connect to virtually
any display using a DisplayPort adapter for devices such as VGA, DVI, or HDMI.

MXI-Express Connectors

Refer to your MXI-Express hardware user manual for connector information.
