  • Page 26: System Features

    Power Supply (J6) OWER ONNECTOR Main power is applied to the VL-EBX-37 through an EPIC-style 10-pin polarized connector at location J6. Warning! To prevent severe and possibly irreparable damage to the system, it is critical that the power connectors are wired correctly. Make sure to use all +5V pins and all ground pins to prevent excess voltage drop.

  • Page 27: Lithium Battery

    ELIVERY ONSIDERATIONS The VL-EBX-37 draws 25W (5A) as measured on a typical time averaging ammeter. The board can experience large, short-term current transients during operation, so care must be taken to provide robust power to the board. A good power delivery method eliminates such problems as voltage drop and lead inductance.

  • Page 28: Cpu

    TATE RIVE The VersaLogic VL-MF7 Series modules provide 1 or 2 GB of RAM plus 8 GB of flash storage. These modules function only in socket J13. The solid state drive (SSD) can function as a bootable SATA drive or secondary storage device without claiming either of the SATA channels at connectors J1 or J7.

  • Page 29: Cmos Setup Defaults

    System Features CMOS Setup Defaults The VL-EBX-37 permits you to modify CMOS Setup defaults. This allows the system to boot up with user-defined settings from cleared or corrupted CMOS RAM, battery failure or battery-less operation. All CMOS setup defaults can be changed, except the time and date. CMOS Setup defaults can be updated with the BIOS Update Utility.

  • Page 30: Primary And Backup Bios

    The Super I/O chip on the VL-EBX-37 contains a hardware monitor which includes a 16-bit fan tachometer register that can be read to obtain the speed of the fan on the VL-EBX-37. When one byte of the 16-bit register is read, the other byte latches the current value until it is read, in order to ensure a valid reading.

  • Page 32: Interfaces And Connectors

    Interfaces and Connectors SATA Ports (J1, J7) The VL-EBX-37 provides two serial ATA (SATA) ports, which communicate at a rate of up to 3.0 gigabits per second. The SATA connectors at location J1 and J7 are standard 7-pin straight SATA friction latching connectors.

  • Page 33: Video Interface (J11, J31, J33)

    VL-EBX-37. The controller supports dual, simultaneous, independent video output. The VL- EBX-37 can also be operated without video attached. See “Console Redirection.” The VL-EBX-37 uses a shared-memory architecture. It supports two types of video output, SVGA and LVDS Flat Panel Display.

  • Page 34: Lvds Flat Panel Display Connector (J31, J33)

    ONNECTOR The integrated LVDS Flat Panel Display in the VL-EBX-37 is an ANSI/TIA/EIA-644-1995 specification-compliant interface. VL-EBX-37 Models S and E have one LVDS connector at J31 and supports single-channel mode operation. Models A and F have an additional LVDS connector at J33 to provide a second channel for optional dual-channel mode (both connectors used concurrently to drive one LVDS display).

  • Page 35: Compatible Lvds Panel Displays

    LVDS ONSOLE EDIRECTION The VL-EBX-37 can be operated without using the on-board video output by redirecting the console to a serial communications port. CMOS Setup and some operating systems such as DOS can use this console for user interaction. Console redirection settings are configured on the Features tab of CMOS Setup. The default setting (On Remote User Detect) causes the console to be redirected to the serial port only when a signal (a Ctrl-C character) is detected from the terminal.

  • Page 36: Ethernet Interface (J12, J15)

    Interfaces and Connectors Ethernet Interface (J12, J15) The VL-EBX-37 features two on-board Intel 82574IT Gigabit Ethernet controllers.
