General Information

This chapter provides background information for the CPC-2520. Sections include:

• Card specifications

• Board layout

1.1 Introduction

The CPC-2520 is an extension VGA/LCD module for the CPC-2245 mini biscuit PC. The CPC-2520 uses a C&T 69000 chipset for its PCI/SVGA controller. It supports many popular LCD, EL, and gas plasma flat panel displays and conventional analog CRT monitors. The 69000 VGA BIOS supports monochrome LCD, EL, color TFT and STN LCD flat panel displays. In addition, it also supports interlaced and non-interlaced analog monitors (color and mono-chrome VGA) in high-resolution modes while maintaining complete IBM VGA compatibility. Digital monitors (i.e. MDA, CGA, and EGA) are NOT supported. Multiple frequency (multi-sync) monitors are handled as if they were analog monitors.

With on-board 2 MB display memory, the VGA controller can drive CRT displays or color panel displays with resolutions up to 1024 x 768 at 64 K colors.

Installation

This chapter explains the setup procedures of CPC-2520 hardware, including instructions on setting jumpers andconnecting peripherals, switches andindicators. Be sure to read all safety precautions before you begin the installation procedure.

2.1 Jumpers and connectors

On-board connectors link to external devices such as hard disk drives, keyboards, or floppy drives, etc. In addition, the board has jumpers for configuring your board for specific applications.

The table below lists the function of each of the board's jumpers and connectors. Later sections in this chapter give detailed information on each jumper setting, and gives instructions for connecting external devices to your card.

Chapter 2 Installation 7

2.3 Safety precautions

Warning! Always completely disconnect the power cord

from your chassis whenever you are working on it. Do not make connections while the power is on because sensitive electronic components can be damaged by the sudden rush of power. Only experienced electronics personnel should open the PC chassis.

Caution! Always ground yourself to remove any static

charge before touching the CPU card. Modern electronic devices are very sensitive to static electric charges. Use a grounding wrist strap at all times. Place all electronic components on a static-dissipative surface or in a static-shielded bag when they are not in the chassis.

8 CPC-2520 User's Manual

2.4 Jumper settings

You configure your card to match the needs of your application by setting jumpers. A jumper is the simplest kind of electric switch. It consists of two metal pins and a small metal clip (often protected by a plastic cover) that slides over the pins to connect them. To close a jumper you connect the pins with the clip. To open a jumper you remove the clip. Sometimes a jumper will have three pins, labeled 1, 2 and 3. In this case you would connect either pins 1 and 2 or 2 and 3.

Closed 2-3Open Closed

A pair of needle-nose pliers may be helpful when working with jumpers. If you have any doubts about the best hardware configuration for your application, contact your local distributor or sales representatives before you make any changes.

- Windows 3.1

- Windows 95

- Windows NT

• Further information

4.1 Introduction

The CPC-2520 has an on-board PCI flat panel/VGA interface. The specifications and features are described as follows:

4.1.1 Chipset

The CPC-2520 uses a C&T 69000/69030 chipset for its PCI/SVGA controller. It supports many popular LCD, EL, and gas plasma flat panel displays and conventional analog CRT monitors. The 69000/69030 VGA BIOS supports monochrome LCD, EL, color TFT and STN LCD flat panel displays. In addition, it also supports interlaced and non-interlaced analog monitors (color and mono-chrome VGA) in high-resolution modes while maintaining complete IBM VGA compatibility. Digital monitors (i.e. MDA, CGA, and EGA) are NOT supported. Multiple frequency (multisync) monitors are handled as if they were analog monitors.

4.1.2 Display memory

With on-board 2 MB display memory, the VGA controller can drive CRT displays or color panel displays with resolutions up to 1024 x 768 at 64 K colors. The display memory can be expanded to 4 MB for true-color resolution of 1024 x 768 with C&T 69030.

4.1.3 Display types

CRT and panel displays can be used simultaneously. The CPC-2520 can be set in one of three configurations: on a CRT, on a flat panel display, or on both simultaneously. The system is initially set to simultaneous display mode. The utility disks includes three *.COM files in the subdirectory Utility\vga\ which can be used to configure the display. In order to use these configuration programs, type the file name and path at the DOS prompt.

CT.COM: Enables CRT display only FP.COM: Enables panel display only SM.COM:Enables both displays simultaneously
