MicroCross™ ADD2 DVI Card User Guide PRODUCT DESCRIPTION This User Guide provides instructions for the proper installation and use of MicroCross ADD2-N and ADD2-R DVI cards. 79530 Molex Order No. Description 79530-5000 MicroCross DVI ADD2-R Card, PCI-Express Standard Bracket, 16X, BTX System 79530-5001 MicroCross DVI ADD2-N Card, PCI-Express Standard Bracket, 4X, ATX System 79530-5002 MicroCross DVI ADD2-R Card, PCI-Express Low Bracket, 16X, BTX System 79530-5003 MicroCross DVI AD2-N Card, PCI-Express Low Bracket, 4X, ATX System INTRODUCTION The MicroCross ADD2 DVI Card is designed to work on Intel Motherboards that have PCI-Express* slots and support SDVO† (Serial Digital Video Output) technology. It will not work on motherboards or systems that support earlier DVO‡-based ADD (AGP§ Digital Display) cards. The ADD2 card features the SiI1364 SDVO-to-DVI (Digital Visual Interface) transmitter. The ADD2-N card (non lane-reversed) is designed to work with Intel** ATX systems and ADD2-R (lane reversed) card is designed to work with Intel BTX systems. They can be easily distinguished from their color code: ADD2-N is color coded (see Figure 1) and ADD2-R is color coded (see Figure 2). Both cards have been designed to meet the DVI 1.0 standard. Figure 1. ADD2-N (Shown with low profile bracket) Figure 2. ADD2-R (Shown with standard bracket) MicroCross™ ADD2 DVI Card User Guide DIMENSIONS 79530 VIDEO RESOLUTIONS SUPPORTED The ADD2 card will support all video modes that can be sent over a single link DVI connection, with pixel rates ranging from 25 MHz to 162 MHz. This includes, but is not limited to, the following VESA†† industry standard modes (see Figure 3). Note that some resolution selections may be disabled by the Intel 915-G drivers. Figure 3.

Use the correct ADD2 card (-N or -R) for the intended system. Using the wrong card will not cause any damage, but it will not be initialized or show a display. The system should have Intel 915-G drivers installed. MicroCross™ ADD2 DVI Card User Guide 79530 ENABLING DVI DISPLAY AND CHANGING RESOLUTIONS All Intel 915-G video drivers provided by Intel have built-in support to enable the ADD2 cards. No specialty drivers are required. It is important to note that Molex does not release, generate, or provide drivers. All necessary drivers are available from Intel Corporation. Download the latest Intel 915-G drivers from the Intel website or https:\\platformsw.intel.com. Install the driver using the setup.exe file. Once installed, re-boot the system and follow the instructions below. The following section provides guidance in using this application to capture and generate a DVI compliance report. a. Attach a DVI flat panel display to the ADD2 card. Ensure that the display is turned on. b. On the Windows Desktop, perform a right click and a dialog box will appear. Select “Graphics Options” and, if a digital flat panel is attached to the system, the “Output To” selection will be available. Select either the “Digital Display” option or the “Intel Dual Display Clone” option to enable the digital flat panel (see Figure 4). Figure 4. Enabling Digital Display via the Mouse MicroCross™ ADD2 DVI Card User Guide c. To see the dialog box shown (see Figure 5), simultaneously press “SHIFT+CTRL+F12” and release. On the left column, icons list the available options for display. Select either Digital Display for single display only or Intel Dual Display Clone for simultaneous Analog and Digital Display. Figure 5. Enabling Digital Display via the Keyboard 79530 MicroCross™ ADD2 DVI Card User Guide d. To change resolution, right click on the mouse and select “Properties”. Select the “Settings” tab as shown (see Figure 6). The slider in the “Screen Resolution” box allows change of resolution. Slide the marker on the slider bar to the intended resolution and click “OK”. 79530 Figure 6.
