VGA CRT (J9)
The Quantum SBC provides a standard CRT port on connector J8. The resolution of the CRT output matches the
resolution configured in the BIOS for the LVDS/CRT. An attached monitor should be able to automatically adapt
for many of the available resolutions. If the monitor does not adapt properly, either adjust the monitor settings,
change the LVDS/CRT resolution in the BIOS (see BIOS section), or use a different monitor.
Note:
The BIOS setup screens and DOS display are always configured for 640x480 resolutions, regardless of the
display resolution selected in the BIOS. If you configure the BIOS for a different resolution, the display may not
look correct when you are in the BIOS setup screens or in DOS. For example, if the screen is set for 1024x768,
the BIOS and DOS screens will appear smaller than full screen and will generally be centered in the screen with a
blank border around them. If you are using DOS, the optimum CRT resolution is 640x480. This same advice may
apply for a text-based Linux environment as well.
Diamond Systems cable number 6980507 is used to connect a monitor to connector J9. It provides a standard
DB15 female connector for a CRT.
