FS-97C User’s Manual Hardware Setup
To setup the LCD, you need the component below:
1. A panel with LVDS interfaces.
2. An inverter for panel’s backlight power.
3. A LCD cable and an inverter cable.
For the cables, please follow the pin assignm ent of the connector to make a cable, because
every panel has its own pin assignment, so we do not provide a standard cable; please find a
local cable manufacture to make cables.
LCD Installation Guide:
1. Preparing the FS-97C, LCD panel and the backlight inverter.
2. Please check the datasheet of the panel to see the voltage of the panel, and set the
jumper JVLCD to +5V or +3.3V.
3. You would need a LVDS type cable.

3.1 <Video Memory Setup>
Based on Intel® 945GM(E) chipset with GMA (Graphic Media Accelerator) 950, the board
supports Intel® DVMT (Dynamic Video Memory Technology) 3.0, which would allow the
video memory to be allocated up to 224MB.
To support DVMT, you need to install the Intel GMA 950 Driver with supported OS.
BIOS Setup:
On-Chip Video Memory Size: This option combines three items below for setup.
On-Chip Frame Buffer Size:
This item can let you select video memory which been allocated for legacy VGA and SVGA
graphics support and compatibility. The available option is 1MB and 8MB.
Fixed Memory Size:
