Installing the SBC Setting your SBC Jumpers Before installing the motherboard in the chassis, install the CPU and set any dip-switch or jumper on the SBC. Since jumper and dip-switch settings are board-specific, consult the manual that comes with the SBC and carefully follow the directions to configure your SBC. Make sure that at no time you are working on any electrical or electronic components while any part of the system is energized. -

Page 29: Appendix B: Lcd Video Controller
Introduction The LCD video controller subassembly is an “in-monitor” design build around a high performance ASIC technology that enable the display of analog VGA signals on a flat panel LCD display. The LCD video board provides all the electronic necessary to drive a TFT flat panel display from VGA (640x480) up to (1280x1024) source. -
Page 30: Safety Precautions
The light source for most flat panel displays is a cold cathode fluorescent backlight. These backlights run on high AC voltage provided by an inverter that converts the supplied DC power to AC and steps its voltage up for start-up. Once the backlight is started, the inverter drops the voltage down to its operating level. -
