WIP Connectors

VIP Connectors

VIP uses two dual row 0.1” center connectors — Connector A and Connector B.

Connector A is a 26-pin connector, which is the same as the standard Feature Con-

nector. Connector B is a 14-pin connector consisting of the power pins, ground,

VRST#, and I2S. On the master side, both Connector A and Connector B are male.

This applies to either the graphics adapter card or the motherboard. Slave modules

will have the opposite mating connectors. Connector B on the slave side must be

shrouded to prevent the danger of wrong insertion. Connector A can be configured

as a standard Feature Connector, VIP, or Connector A (video) of VMI 1.4. On power

up, the graphics chip (master) is configured in the standard feature connector mode.

All VIP slaves must be disabled and tri-stated on power up.
