Figure 5. Typical Development Configuration 
 

 

 

1. Attach Cables and Peripherals 

 

Attach a VGA monitor to the baseboard’s Mini Disp+ connector using a VL-CBR-
2032. 

 

Attach a SATA hard disk to the baseboard’s SATA connector using a VL-CBR-0701 or VL-
CBR-0702 cable. 

 

Attach a VL-CBR-4005B paddleboard to the baseboard’s User I/O connector. 

 

Connect a USB keyboard and USB mouse to the USB Type-A connectors on the VL-CBR-
4005B paddleboard. 

 

Attach a USB CD-ROM drive to one of the USB Type-A connectors on the VL-CBR-4005B 
paddleboard. 

2. Connect Power Source 

 

Plug the power adapter cable VL-CBR-0809 into the main power connector on the 
baseboard. Attach the motherboard connector of the ATX power supply to the adapter. 

Attach an ATX power cable to any 3.5-inch drive that is not already attached to the power supply 
(hard drive or CD-ROM drive).
