Connecting the Graphics Option
The M6Me is designed to accommodate an optional
VGA video connector and comes with a 15-pin monitor
cable. NOTE: The connector pin-outs for both the 15-
pin VGA onboard connector and monitor cable con-
nector are the same as the standard 15-pin D-shell
connector pin-outs.
The graphics option comes with up to 2MB of DRAM
memory. The 64-bit graphics processor provides high-
speed acceleration in all graphic modes. It uses a full 64-
bit non-interleaved DRAM interface, which is twice the
throughput of 32-bit controllers. Full motion digital
video can be scaled up to full screen at 1024x768
resolution.
Connecting the Video Cable
1. Turn the computer system off.
2. Locate the monitor's power switch and make sure it
is turned OFF.
3. Plug the end of the video cable with the 15-pin
connector (which is larger than the other connec-
tor) into the video socket on the back of your
monitor. Then tighten the two thumbscrews on the
cable connector.
4. Plug the other end of the video cable into the video
socket on the M6Me and tighten the thumbscrews
(see Figure 2.1).
See Chapter 6 for information on installing video device
drivers.
