Flat panels requiring bias voltage
Some flat panels require a bias voltage. To determine if your flat panel requires
bias voltage, refer to the text file on the Octagon CD ROM \XE–700\BIOS which is
specific to your flat panel or refer to your flat panel information. If your flat panel
requires a bias voltage, refer to the manufacturer’s documentation for procedures
on supplying the proper bias voltage.
WARNING!
Since improper voltage levels can severely damage the flat panel,
make sure the bias voltage is correct before the flat panel is
connected to the XE–700 SBC.
Connecting the flat panel to the XE–700 SBC
Text files are located on the Octagon CD ROM \XE–700\BIOS disk. These text
files include wiring diagrams specific to individual flat panels. Refer to the specific
text file associated with your flat panel to build your cable. The maximum
recommended cable length is 18 inches. Table 10–2 shows the pinout for the flat
panel connector.
1. Ensure that the Video switch SW4 position 3 is On.
2. Refer to the text file associated with your flat panel to determine the supply
voltage for your panel, and whether a bias voltage is required.
3. Program the BIOS for a flat panel (see following section).
4. Connect a cable from the flat panel to the flat panel connector. Refer to Figure
10–2.
Warning
Improper wiring or connection from the flat panel to the XE–700 SBC
can damage the XE–700 SBC and the flat panel. Verify the flat panel
cable connections before connecting the cable to the XE–700 SBC and
applying power to the system.
Note
See Appendix A – Connectors for mating information.
