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.

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.

USAGE
ENABLING DVI DISPLAY AND CHANGING RESOLUTIONS
Insert the card into the PCI-Express slot of the Intel 915-G system, attach a DVI flat panel
display using a DVI cable and boot the system. 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.
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).

“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.
