Chapter 2: Installation

VGA Connector

A VGA connector (J1) is located next to the GLAN1 on the IO backplane. Refer to the board layout below for the location.

Power Fault

Connect a cable from your power

supply to the PW4 header to pro-

vide warning of power supply fail-

ure. This warning signal is

passed through the PWR_LED pin

to indicate of a power failure on

the chassis. See the table on the

right for pin definitions.
