TE430VX Motherboard Technical Product Specification

1.7.4IrDA (infra-red) support

A 5-pin interface on the front panel I/O connector is provided to allow connection to a Hewlett Packard† HSDSL-1000 compatible Infra-red (IrDA) transmitter/receiver. Once the module is connected to the front panel I/O header, Serial port 2 can be re-directed to the IrDA module. When configured for IrDA, the user can transfer files to or from portable devices such as laptops, PDA’s and printers using application software such as LapLink† . The IrDA specification provides for data transfers at 115kbps from a distance of 1 meter.

1.7.5Consumer IR Support

The motherboard also has a signal pin to support Consumer IR devices(remote controls). A software and hardware interface is required to implement consumer IR on with the motherboard.

1.7.6Parallel port

A 25-pin D-Sub header is provided on the back panel for a multi-mode bi-directional parallel port. The parallel port operates in standard mode, Enhanced Parallel Port (EPP) version 1.7 mode, with BIOS and Driver support, and a high speed Extended Capabilities Port (ECP) compatible mode.

EPP Mode requires a driver provided by the peripheral manufacturer to operate correctly.

1.8 Graphics Subsystem (S3 Trio64V+)

The motherboard is available with an S3 Trio64 V+ SVGA graphics controller with 1 MB of graphics memory upgradeable to 2 MB. The graphics DRAM can be upgraded to 2 MB by installing two 256 KB x 16 SOJ memory devices in the provided sockets. The Trio64 V+ has a

64-bit graphics engine and incorporates the S3 Streams Processor that enables the device to convert YUV formatted video data to RGB and provides acceleration for scaling the video display without compromising picture quality or frame rate. The on-chip RAMDAC/clock synthesizer is capable of output pixel data rates of 135 MHz providing non-interlaced screen resolutions of up to 1280x1024x256 colors at 75 Hz with 2 MB of DRAM. Hardware acceleration for graphics functions such as BitBLTs with ROPs, 2-point line draws, trapezoidal and polygon fills, clipping and cursor support provide high performance operation under Windows and other GUI environments. In addition, a fast linear addressing scheme based upon DCI reduces software overhead by mapping the display memory into the CPU’s upper memory address space and permitting direct CPU access to the display memory.

The motherboard supports the 26-pin VESA feature connector for synchronizing graphics output with an external NTSC or PAL signal and a shared frame buffer interface to maximize multi-media performance. Boards configured with the Trio64 V+ will have a 34 pin feature connector that supports the VESA requirements as well as the LPB (Local Peripheral Bus) that provides a glueless bi-directional interface to a video companion device such as an MPEG/live video decoder. The motherboard also supports other VESA standards such as the VESA DPMS protocol to put a DPMS compliant monitor into power savings modes and the VESA Display Data Channel (DDC2B) that permits transfer of monitor identification and resolution support data for ease of use. When a monitor is not plugged into the system on power-up, the video will default to color mode, rather than monochrome. This is a deviation from the VGA† specification.
