• VGA Monitor: Any standard VGA or multi-resolution monitor may be used. The
setup instructions in this section assume the use of a standard VGA monitor, TV,
or flat panel monitor.
• Keyboard: The development kit can support either a PS/2* or USB style
keyboard.
• Mouse: The development kit can support either a PS/2 or USB style mouse.
• Hard Disk Drives (HDDs) and Optical Disc Drives (ODD): Up to six SATA
drives and two IDE devices (master and slave) may be connected to the
development kit. An optical disc drive may be used to load the OS. All these
storage devices may be attached to the board simultaneously.
• Video Adapter: Integrated video is output from the VGA connector on the back
panel of the development kit. Alternately, an on-board HDMI connector, on-board
DP connector or LVDS displays can be used for desired display options. Check the
BIOS and the graphics driver, where appropriate, for the proper video output
settings.
• Network Adapter: A Gigabit network interface is provided on the board. The
network interface will not be operational until after all the necessary drivers have
been installed. A standard PCI/PCI Express* adapter may be used in conjunction
with, or in place of, the on-board network adapter.
You must supply appropriate network cables to utilize the LAN connector or any other
installed network cards.
• Other Devices and Adapters: The development kit functions much like a
standard desktop computer motherboard. Most PC-compatible peripherals can be
attached and configured to work with the development kit.
• Add-In Cards: The following add-in cards are mentioned throughout this
document and are used to enable different features on the board. They are not
provided with the board. Please contact your Intel representative for more
information on the functionality and availability of these cards.
o Eaglemont card
o Mott Canyon 4 card
