is shown as 0FFH.) Decimal and binary numbers are
represented by their customary notations (That is, 255 is a
decimal number and 1111 1111 is a binary number). In some
cases, the letter B is added for clarity.
Units of Measure The following abbreviations are used to represent units of
measure:
GByte gigabytes
KByte kilobytes
MByte megabytes
MHz megahertz
W watts
V volts
Signal Names Signal names are shown in uppercase. When several signals
share a common name, an individual signal is represented by
the signal name followed by a number, while the group is
represented by the signal name followed by a variable (n). For
example, the lower chip-select signals are named CS0#, CS1#,
CS2#, and so on; they are collectively called CSn#. A pound
symbol (#) appended to a signal name identifies an active-low
signal. Port pins are represented by the port abbreviation, a
period, and the pin number (e.g., P1.0).

Term Description
ADD2 Card
Advanced Digital Display Card – 2
nd
Generation. This card provides digital display options
for an Intel Graphics Controller that supports ADD2+ cards. It plugs into a x16 PCI
Express* connector but uses the multiplexed SDVO interface. The card adds Video In
capabilities to platform. This Advanced Digital Display Card will not work with an Intel
Graphics Controller that supports DVO and ADD cards. It will function as an ADD2 card in
an ADD2 supported system, but video in capabilities will not work.
