Connecting a LCD Panel
To determine whether your panel display is supported, check the Kontron Website for panel lists. We regu-
larly update the list of panels that have been tested with the PC/104-520.
If you use one of those cables supplied by Kontron, configuration is easy:
Check whether you have the correct cable for the panel you plan to use. Inspect the cable for
damages. Disconnect the power from your system.
Check Jumper J16 for correct Panel voltage (J16 1-2 = 5V 2-3 = 3.3V). Hint: J16 1-2 default.
Check Jumper J17 for inverting data clock (J17 1-2 = normal 2-3 = inverted). Hint: J17 1-2
default.
Connect the cable to the LCD Panel connector J3 on the PC/104-520 and connect the other end
to your display.
Connect the backlight converter.
Supply power to your system.
If no image appears on your display, connect a CRT monitor to the CRT connector.
If you still do not see improvement, consider contacting the dealer for technical support.
