Daughter and Plug-in Cards

5.1 PCIe* Add-in Card

The PCIe* add-in card can be used to enable 2 x 8 PCIe* Bifurcation.
Note: The eDP on the PCIe add-in card will not work with the processor because of specification
change and lane reversal. The PCI graphics card needs to be used to enable eDP.

5.2 PCI Expansion Card

The PCI Expansion card is provided to offer three PCI slots and one Goldfinger PCI slot on the
evaluation board. The PCI Expansion card also contains a floppy disk drive connector, parallel
port connector, and a serial port connector. To connect PCI Expansion card slide the
horizontal PCI connector on PCI Expansion card onto the gold-fingers on the evaluation board.
To connect the LPC bus to enable the floppy disk drive connector, parallel port connector, and
a serial port connector, connect the ribbon cable as depicted in Figure 11. CLKRUN protocol is
supported on PCI Expansion card board for only those PCI cards which support CLKRUN#; else
CLKRUN# should be disabled in BIOS.
Upon boot up, the system BIOS on the evaluation board automatically detects that PCI
Expansion card is present and connected to the system. The system BIOS then performs all
needed initialization to fully configure PCI Expansion card. For additional information see the
Dev Kit Manual 63 323094
