Chapter 2: Installation

VGA Connector

A VGA connector (JVGA) is located next to the COM1 port on the IO backplane. Refer to the board layout below for the location.

GPIO Headers

Four GPIO (Serial Links General Purpose Input/Output) headers are located at J7,

Serial-Links GPIO

Pin Definitions

J8, J9, J10 on the motherboard. These headers are used to communicate with the Seriel-Links System Monitoring chip on the backplane. J7 and J8 are used to monitor SATA activities, J9 and J10 are used to monitor SAS connections. See
