Step 9 Connect Cables,
J10 External Battery Connector
There is a built-in rechargeable battery on the motherboard. An external battery is not necessary, but can be
used. Connect the external battery to J10 via a four-wire cable. If you attach an external battery to J10, the
battery on the motherboard is automatically electrically isolated. J10 is a four-pin berg that connects to a 3.6
volt external battery. The positive (+) terminal (the red wire) connects to J10 Pin 1. The J10 pinout and
connector are shown below.
Step 10 Connect Onboard I/O
Onboard Adapters
The Super Voyager VLB-III motherboard has two serial ports (J13 and J14) and a parallel port (J5)
onboard. It also has an IDE controller on the VL-bus local bus (J9), and a floppy controller (J8).
The serial and parallel port connectors are described below. The IDE connector is described on page 78.
The floppy connector is described on page 76.
Checking for Conflicts
AMIBIOS is designed to minimize conflicts between onboard and offboard I/O. AMIBIOS automatically
checks the adapter cards installed in the expansion slots on the Super Voyager VLB-III motherboard for a
hard disk or floppy controller and serial or parallel ports.
