Use of the SBC’s onboard graphics adaptor

Onboard Graphics Adaptor used as Control Screen

The Vision800 is shipped with the BIOS configured to boot off the onboard VGA. This output can then be
used as the control screen for a typical wall configuration.

To set the system to boot on the onboard VGA (“Internal Graphics Device” - IGD), enter setup from the
boot screen by pressing as prompted.

In the BIOS setup utility select:

Chipset>North Bridge Configuration>Initiate Graphic Adapter - [IGD]
Chipset>North Bridge Configuration>PEG Port Configuration>PEG Port - [Auto]

CAUTION: If the SBC BIOS is setup for IGD as above, then you must not insert an Image4 or other
VGA graphics card in the first (x8 lane) PCIe slot.

host machine is taken up by the H-Link card, so the above prohibition refers to the first slot of the expan-
