1.Connect one end of the cable to CN25,CN24. Make sure that the red (or blue) wire corresponds to pin 1 on the connector, which is labeled on the board (on the right side).

2.Plug the other end of the cable into the Enhanced IDE hard drive,

with pin 1 on the cable corresponding to pin 1 on the hard drive. (See your hard drive’s documentation for the location of the con- nector.)

If desired, connect a second drive as described above.

Unlike floppy drives, IDE hard drives can connect to either end of the cable. If you install two drives, you will need to set one as the master and one as the slave by using jumpers on the drives. If you install only one drive, set it as the master.

2.16 VGA/LVDS interface connections

The POD-6552’s display interface can drive conventional CRT displays and is capable of driving a wide range of LVDS flat panel displays as well. The board has two display connectors: one for standard CRT VGA monitors, and one for LVDS flat panel displays.

2.16.1 CRT display connector (CN1, CN7)

CN1 is a standard 16-pin DESUB connector used for conventional CRT displays. Users can drive a standard progressive scan analog monitor with pixel resolution up to 1600 MHz x 1200 at 85 Hz.

The POD-6552 also provides a box header CN7 which connects CRT dis- play via a cable. Pin assignments for CRT display connector are detailed in Appendix A.

2.16.2 LVDS LCD panel connector(CN14)

POD-6552 uses the Intel 852GM to supports single or dual-channel LVDS panels up to UXGA panel resolution with frequency range from 25MHz to 112MHz.

The display mode can be one channel 18-bit LVDS LCD panel displays Users can connector to 18-bit LVDS LCD with CN14. In addtion, CN14 can support 2 channels (2 x 18-bit) LVDS LCD panel (optional).

2.16.3LCD Backlight connector(CN15)

CN15 provides +5V and +12V for LCD backlight.
