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 multi-resolution monitor. The setup

 

instructions in this chapter assume that you are using a standard VGA

 

monitor.

Power Supply

You must use an ATX-type PC power supply.

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.

Other Devices

The evaluation board behaves much like a standard desktop computer

and Adapters

motherboard. Most PC compatible peripherals can be attached and

 

configured to work with the evaluation board. For example, you may

 

want to install a sound card or network adapter.
