1.3.5 Video
The NuPRO-900A provides standard SVGA analog output on front bracket I/O
panel. The video function is provided via the ATI Rage XL VGA chip with 8MB
video memory.
1.3.6 Ethernet
Interfaces
The NuPRO-900A provides two Gigabit Ethernet interfaces. The
10/100/1000Mbps Ethernet interfaces is supplied via the Intel 82546EB chip,
which is connected to the P64H2#2 bus A and supports 64-bit PCI-X 133MHz.
Both LAN ports will be assigned a unique static MAC Address. The Ethernet
interfaces are routed to two RJ-45 all-in-one connectors with LEDs on the
bracket panel. LED drive signals for Ethernet link status and activity are routed
to the same connector.
1.3.7 Serial
I/O
Two serial ports are supported by the NuPRO-900A.
The EIA232 drivers and
receivers reside on board. COM1 and COM2 are available as a 10-pin header
on the motherboard. Both ports will be configured as DTE. Firmware will
initialize the two serial ports as COM1 and COM2 with ISA I/O base addresses
of 3F8h and 2F8h respectively. This default configuration also assigns COM1
to IRQ4 and COM2 to IRQ3. The NuPRO-900A serial controller resides in the
W83627HF Super I/O
device.
1.3.8
IEEE-1284 Parallel Port/Printer Interface
The parallel I/O interface signals are routed to a 26-pin connector on the board.
This port supports the full IEEE-1284 specifications and provides the basic
printer interface.
Firmware will initialize the parallel port as LPT1 with ISA I/O base address of
378h. This default configuration also assigns the parallel port to IRQ7. The
printer interface mode (Normal, Extended, EPP, or ECP) is selectable through
the BIOS SETUP utility with the W83627HF Super I/O device managing the
NuPRO-900A parallel port.
1.3.9
Universal Serial Bus (USB)
The Universal Serial Bus (USB) provides a common interface to slower-speed
peripherals. Functions such as keyboard, serial ports, printer port, and mouse
ports can be consolidated into USB, simplifying the cabling requirements of
computers. The NuPRO-900A provides two USB ports pin headers and is
controlled by the Intel 82801CA (ICH3-S) device.
1.3.10 IDE Controller and Floppy Interface Controller
The NuPRO-900A includes an IDE Controller (in the ICH3-S) and a Floppy
Disk Controller (in the W83627HF). The IDE Controller provides support for
