Add-In Cards A.2 PCI Expansion Card (Thimble Peak 2) (Included) The PCI Expansion Card (Thimble Peak 2) is provided to offer 3 PCI slots and one goldfinger PCI slot on the evaluation board. The expansion card also contains a floppy disk drive connector, parallel port connector, and a serial port connector. To connect the card, slide the horizontal PCI connector on Thimble Peak 2 onto the gold-fingers on the development board. To connect the LPC bus enabling 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 Thimble Peak 2 board for only those PCI cards which support CLKRUN#, else CLKRUN# should be disabled in BIOS. Upon boot up, the system BIOS automatically detects that the PCI expansion card is present and connected to the system. The system BIOS then performs all needed initialization to fully configure the expansion card. For additional information see the LPC docking connector on the evaluation board schematics. Figure 11. PCI Expansion Card (Thimble Peak 2) A.3 HDMI and Display Port Video Interface Add-In Card (Eaglemont) (Included) Eaglemont is an Add-In Card (AIC) for testing and validating Display Port and HDMI interfaces supported by the GS45 GMCH. The Display Port/HDMI signals are multiplexed over PCIe signals of GMCH and are routed to a x16 PCIe slot on the respective motherboards. This AIC is an interposer which routes these signals to Display Port/HDMI connectors. The AIC supports the following connectors: • Two Display Port external connector or two HDMI connectors • One embedded Display Port connector. 62 Development Kit User's Manual
