@michaeljudge88 Visit the thread linked in the video description, a picture identifying pin 1 is on page 6. Failing that look for the triangle symbol on the connector - that's where pin 1 is.
@ymboc Hi there, thanks a lot. I just found which was pin 1 using a multi meter and the 5v reference pins. Anyhow, I try soldering all the connections according to the diagram, but the VGA cable I was using was missing many of the ground pins. So needless to say I wasn't able to get a VGA signal to a monitor. I may just actually try and locate a PCI-E x1 card. Thanks for replying though.
@werner2210: Follow the link in the video to the mediasmartserver forums... there you will first find my thread that shows how to build you're own but you'll also see a forum-member selling completed debug-kits in the forum marketplace!
I wonder why they never made the MediaSmart have a VGA/DVI port in the first place? full-size rack servers (not that i'm saying the MS is weak) have VGA ports... Plus it must be annoying constantly running remote desktop connection.
Check out the MediaSmartServer Forum's Marketplace where a fellow user sells a custom-fab'd break-out board compatible with all mediasmart servers and acer easystore products.
All the info you seek is available from the linked mediasmartserver forums thread... including a fellow board member selling not only VGA cables but PS/2 & Com (Debug) Cables as well!
Men uncreadible, i by mistake desab;le my network connection on my ex470 by god youe way is the only way that i<am recevery my data. So can you tell my how to build your cable, i see that you build your own.
Where is pin 1 located on the CN12 connector?

@michaeljudge88 Solder your grounds together at the VGA end (so you only need one ground wire) -- should work.
What would you do with an x1 Card?... not on an MSS! or do you have an EasyStore?

@helloimgeek I have tried but it's not straight forward at this time.
I try it every major release and new series of nightly build when they're made available.

It was meant to be an appliance... having a VGA port would invite users to break the software.

@ymboc ...Or enhance it! of course, that's already happened with the Custom-built board.

Wait, that's the MS without the case and hotswap bays?! The saying is true; big things come in small packages!
Too bad there's no native PS/2 or VGA ports, i'd rather work with it directly instead of signing on through my main computer.

AMAZING WORK! Would you be willing to build a cable for a small fee or atleast show the specs for building it?
