LCD display connector (CN10) CN10 is a 50-pin, dual-in-line header used for flat panel displays. When the mainboard's power is applied, the control signal is low until just after the relevant flat panel signals are present. Configuration of the VGA interface is done completely via the software utility.
The onboard Realtek RTL8139B fast Ethernet controller supports 10Mb/s and 100 Mb/s N-way auto-negotiation operation. Serial ports (CN16, CN14) The SBC-675 offers two serial ports, one RS-232 (CN16) and one RS-232/422/485 (CN14). These ports allow you to connect them to serial devices (mouse, printers, etc.).
Keyboard and PS/2 mouse connector (CN18, CN15) The mainboard provides a keyboard connector which supports both a keyboard and a PS/2 style mouse. In most cases, especially in embedded applications, a keyboard is not used. The standard PC/AT BIOS will report an error or fail during power-on-self-test (POST) after a reset if the keyboard is not present.
