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.

1-2 General Information
1.1 Introduction
The Topaz, Stratus, Tropos, Garnet, and Duros comprise a set of closely
related designs that have been tuned to address a variety of requirements.
Originally starting with the Stratus as the fully configured version and
Tropos as the low parts count version, the line was expanded into the
analogous Garnet and Duros which are rugged, conduction cooled
versions adding 2 thermal layers and, on the Duros, the ability to produce
STANAG 3350 A-C output modes.
The final iteration is the Topaz, a non-conduction cooled design, which is
intended to subsume the Stratus and Tropos. It:
a) includes the new features added in the Garnet and Duros,
b) using an MDR26 connector, adds the optional capability to provide
LVDS on the front panel,
c) replaces the Stratus front panel MDSM Video I/O connector with an
MDR20 for easier cable construction,
d) adds a dual front panel VGA connector option,
e) adds the 3.3V local regulator option that was dropped on Garnet and
Duros.
The following page shows a table of the features of the boards in a
comparative format to ease understanding what each version provides.
Following that are block diagrams of each board, and then some
explanatory sections covering the board functions.
