1.3.5 Graphic Interfaces
The Intel 815E GMCH2 chip is integrated with an AGP 2X, ACPI, and VESA
compliant hyper-pipelined architecture 3D graphics engine. It shares up to
10MB, dynamically allocated from the host memory. Graphic resolutions can
be up to 1600x1200 for both VGA and on-chip digital video output (DVO)
interfaces.
The PXD-3710/3710F has one graphic engine supporting one video frame
and two graphic ports, including a VGA interface on the front panel via the
DB-15 connector, as well as a Digital Visual Interface (DVI) on the
PXD-R3000 rear I/O transition module (RTM).
DVI is now widely supported by LCD monitors. The DVI version 1.0 supports
both analog and digital signals in the connector. In the PXD-3710/3710F,
analog VGA signals are routed to the front panel, and the DVI port on the
PXD-R3000 RTM only supports digital signals as most LCD monitors support
only digital signals. The design of the PXD-3710/3710F and PXD-R3000 will
enable users to efficiently connect to either type of monitor.
In addition to DVI, the RTM PXD-R3000 also supports FPD with a LVDS
control interface and TFT display with TTL/CMOS control interface. Note that
only one of the three display types can be physically connected at one time.
Users can set the display type through BIOS settings. Three display modes
are available: (1) CRT only, (2) CRT + DVI, (3) CRT + TFT/FPD.
1.3.6 IDE Interfaces
PXD-3710/3710F supports both Primary IDE (PIDE) and secondary IDE
interfaces. The primary IDE is connected to one 44-pin on-board connector.
The secondary IDE is connected to the internal CompactFlash socket and
one 40-pin IDE connector on the front panel. Both IDE interfaces support up
to ATA100 interface.
Internal 44-pin IDE Interfaces
The 44-pin IDE connector is on the top-side of the PXD-3710/3710F. A
2.5-inch low profile 20GB HDD is mounted on the PXD-3710/3710F as
the standard configuration. Contact an ADLINK representative for
available 2.5-inch drive options. For OEM customers, a flash drive may
be used for harsh environment applications.
Internal CompactFlash Socket
An internal CompactFlash socket is available on the PXD-3710/3710F. It
is connected to the secondary IDE interface, which is also bootable. With
the solid state CF card, PXD-3710/3710F can work in high-vibration
environments.
IDE Interface on the Front Panel
A 40-pin IDE connector on the front panel is designed for users’
convenience to connect an external CD-ROM drive or other optical
