CN11 is a standard 15-pin connector used for conventional CRT displays. Users can drive a standard progressive scan analog monitor with pixel resolution up to 1600 x 1200 at 85 Hz. Pin assignments for CRT display connector CN11 are detailed in Appendix B.

2.16.2 LVDS LCD panel connector(CN15)

PCI-6886 uses the Intel 852GM to supports single or dual-channel LVDS panels up to UXGA panel resolution with frequency range from 25MHz to 112MHz.

The display mode can be 2 channels (2 x 18bit) LVDS LCD panel dis- plays Users can connector to either an 18, 24, or 36 bit LVDS LCD with CN15.

2.16.3 LCD inverter connector(CN20)

The LCD inverter is connected to CN20 via a 5-pin connector to provide +5V/+12V power.

2.16.4 DVI connector (CN16)

Digital Visual Interface (DVI) is the standard interface for high-perfor- mance connection between PCs and Flat Panel Displays, Digital CRT dis- plays, Projectors, and HDTV. The PCI-6886 is able to drive a DVI connector display at a pixel rate of up to 165MHz, supporting UXGA res- olution displays and hot plug detection.

2.17 USB connectors (CN9,CN10)

The PCI-6886 board provides up to four USB (Universal Serial Bus) ports. This gives complete Plug and Play, and hot attach/detach for up to 127 external devices. The USB interfaces comply with USB specification Rev. 2.0, and are fuse protected.

The USB interface is accessed through the 5 x 2-pin flat-cable connector, CN10 (USB1, 2),CN9(USB3, 4). You will need an adapter cable if you
