Figure showing the Sun XVR-500 graphics accelerator I/O backplate connector locations.

The Sun XVR-500 graphics accelerator has the following external I/O ports:

Video output port

Stereo output port

Video Output Port

The video output port is a HD15 15-pin connector that connects the workstation monitor.

The video connector supports DDC2 monitor support and Display Power Management Signaling (DPMS).

Accessing Field Replaceable Unit Information

The Sun XVR-500 graphics accelerator features a system for identifying the board by means of a FRU ID (field replaceable unit identifier). This information is contained on a PROM chip mounted on the Sun XVR-500 graphics accelerator.

A FRU ID allows you to identify the Sun XVR-500 graphics accelerator serial number and other data using fbconfig.

To obtain FRU ID information, type:

% fbconfig -dev ifb0 -prconf

--- Hardware Configuration for /dev/fbs/ifb7 ---
