LPC Connector
The Low Pin Count Interface was defined by Intel
sition towards legacy free systems. It allows the integration of low-bandwidth legacy I/O com-
ponents within the system, which are typically provided by a Super I/O controller. Furthermore,
it can be used to interface firmware hubs, Trusted Platform Module (TPM) devices and embed-
ded controller solutions. Data transfer on the LPC bus is implemented over a 4 bit serialized
data interface, which uses a 33MHz LPC bus clock. For more information about LPC bus refer
to the Intel
Low Pin Count Interface Specification Revision 1.1'. The table below indicates the
®

Connecting the EXT-RS232/RS485 Card to the Motherboard
With DFI's proprietary technology, KD631-C236/Q170 supports two extension modules for ad-
ditional four COM ports. The EXT-RS232/RS485 card is connected to KD631-C236/Q170 via the
LPC connector. The illustrations below guide you how to connect the extension module to the
carrier board.
Note:
The system board used in the following illustrations may not resemble the actual one.
