2.15.2 CD audio-in connector (CN18)

All CD-ROM drives can provide analog audio signal output when used as a music CD player. The CN18 on PCM-9586 is a connector to input CD audio signal into the audio controller. The audio cable of your CD-ROM drive will be used to connect to CN18.

2.16 COM port connector (CN11)

The PCM-9586 provides four RS-232 serial ports (COM1,3,4:RS-232, COM2: RS-232/422/485) in one COM port connector. The COM port connector is a 40-pin, DF13A-40DP-1.25V (Hirose Electric Co., Ltd.). It provides connections for serial devices (a mouse, etc.) or a communica- tion network. You can find the pin assignments for the COM port connec- tor in Appendix C. COM2 can be configured to operate in RS-232,RS- 422, or RS-485 mode. This is done via JP2.

2.17VGA/LVDS interface connections (CN13, CN16,CN7)

The PCM-9586’s AGP SVGA interface can drive conventional CRT dis- plays and is capable of driving a wide range of LVDS flat panel displays. The board has three connectors to support these displays: one for stan- dard CRT VGA monitors, one for LVDS type LCD panels and one for DVI type LCD panels.

2.17.1 CRT display connector (CN13)

CN13 is a 16-pin, dual-inline header used for conventional CRT dis- plays. A simple one-to-one adapter can be used to match CN13 to a stan- dard 15-pin D-SUB connector commonly used for VGA. Users can drive a standard progressive scan analog monitor with pixel resolution up to 1600 x 1200 at 85 Hz and up to 2048 x 1536 at 75 Hz. Pin assignments for CRT display connector CN13 are detailed in Appendix C.

2.17.2 LVDS LCD panel connector (CN16)

The PCM-9586 uses the Intel 852 GM chipset that supports single- or dual-channel LVDS panel up to UXGA panel resolution with frequency range from 15MHz to 112MHz.

The PCM-9586 supports single or dual-channel LVDS panels up to UXGA panel resolution with frequency range from 25MHz to 112MHz. The display mode can be 2 channel (2 x 18bit) LVDS LCD panel dis-
