Display connectors (CN9, CN12)

The mainboard's PCI SVGA interface can drive conventional CRT displays and is capable of driving a wide range of flat panel displays, including electroluminescent (EL), gas plasma, passive LCD, and active LCD displays. The board has two connectors to support these displays, one for standard CRT VGA monitors and one for flat panel displays.

CN12 is a 16-pin, dual-in-line header used for conventional CRT displays. A simple one-to-one adapter can be used to match CN12 to a standard 15-pin D-SUB connector commonly used for VGA.
