2.4Before You Begin
Before you set up and configure your evaluation board, you may want to gather some additional hardware and software.
VGA Monitor | You can use any standard VGA or |
| instructions in this chapter assume that you are using a standard VGA |
| monitor. |
Power Supply | You must use an |
Keyboard | You need a keyboard with a PS/2 style connector or adapter. |
Mouse | Optional. You can use a mouse with a PS/2 style connector or adapter. |
Additional Drives | You can connect up to four IDE drives and a floppy drive to the |
| evaluation board. Two devices (master and slave) can be attached to |
| each IDE connector. You will need to provide the cables for these |
| drives. |
| You may have all these storage devices attached to the board at the |
| same time. |
Video Adapter | You can use the Chips and Technologies video adapter supplied with |
| your kit, or you can use a different adapter. The evaluation board |
| supports AGP, PCI and ISA video cards. It is up to you to install the |
| correct drivers for video adapters other than the one provided. |
