Introduction
This manual provides information about how to configure, install, and
program the Rastergraf Silicon Motion SM731-based Topaz, Stratus,
Tropos, Garnet, and Duros PMC graphics display controllers. When used
with appropriate PMC-to-host adapters, PCI and CompactPCI compatible
computers can also be supported.
This manual is broken down into six chapters:
Chapter 1: General Information
Chapter 2: Specifications
Chapter 3: Connector Pinouts and Cable Information
Chapter 4: Installing Your Graphics Board
Chapter 5: Programming Devices and Memories
Chapter 6: Troubleshooting
Chapters 1-3 provide background material about the graphics boards.
Understanding the information in the chapters, however, is not essential
for the hardware or software installation. If you want to perform the
installation as quickly as possible, start with Chapter 4. If you have
problems installing the hardware, refer to Chapter 6 for help.
