==C. POWER SUPPLY==
Xseries expansion board supplies the RPi with a regulated +5V through the GPIO header using a 2A poly-resettable (PTC) fuse. <br>
With the wide voltage input range (6~21Vdc), the RPi can be powered from a wide variety of external sources such as batteries, 12V power adapters, solar battery sources, etc.<br>
<br>
Recommended Power Adapter : 110~240VAC input, 12VDC 2A output <br> 
Dimension of input plug (Unit: mm)<br>

== D. HDMI TO VGA CONVERTER==
<pre>
See description on http://elinux.org/RPi_Screens#RGB_analog.2FVGA
Any HDMI to VGA adapter without external PSU might work for a time, but then burn out D1,
therefore Do not use HDMI converters powered by the HDMI port!
The solution is to either only use externally powered converters.
</pre>
<pre>
Xseries expansion board do not use power from RPi HDMI port and has many features that enable it to perform in a superior manner.
Among those features you will find:
</pre> 
<pre>
Easy to Use: No need of cable and setting
Conversion: It can convert complete HDMI into VGA video
Supports 165MHz/1.65Gbps per channel (6.75Gbps all channel) bandwidth for HDMI Input
Supports Analogue Video output up to UXGA and 1080p with 10-bit DAC
</pre>

*HDMI to VGA resolution setting
**<1> Open the Config.txt
<code>pi@raspberrypi ~ $  sudo nano /boot/config.txt</code>
**<2> Uncomment following three lines in config.txt by removing '#' located at start of the line. (check Images below)
[[File:Editor01.jpg|thumb|left|300px]]
<br style="clear:both;">
<pre>
hdmi_force_hotplug=1      pretends that HDMI device is always attached
hdmi_group                            specifies whether monitor is DMT type (Computers) or CEA type (TV)
hdmi_mode                            specifies the resolution of monitor.
</pre>
**<3> For hdmi_group value selection : If you’re using output as Computer monitor then replace value ’1′ with ’2′, so the new config will be like :
<code>hdmi_group=2</code>
<pre>
(Select value 1 for TV, Select value 2 for monitor)
</pre>
**<4> For hdmi_mode value selection :  Now open eLinux RPi config scroll down, there in hdmi_mode two tables are given, select the correct resolution as per your monitor. (Table1 if you’re using TV & Table2 if you’re using Monitor)
Since my monitor’s resolution is 1440×900 px, hdmi_mode=47 fits me the best. So, the modified config.txt will be like.<br>
<code>
hdmi_mode=47
</code><br>
Overall my uncommented lines will look something like : <br>

**<5> Save your changes by pressing Ctrl-x then Y
**<6> Reboot your Raspberry Pi
<code>
pi@raspberrypi ~ $  sudo reboot

==F. RS232 COMMUNICATION PORT==
* Introduction
<pre>
The RS232 port is connected to the UART port on the Raspberry Pi using a MAX3232 interface.
The MAX3232 IC converts the 3.3V UART port to RS232 voltages allowing communication with RS232 compatible devices over a DB9 serial cable
or with the use of a null-modem cable the board allows terminal access with linux on the Raspberry Pi using a terminal application.
The RS232 port can be accessed through the DB9 port.
*Connecting to the RS232 Port.
The RS232 port on the expansion board can be accessed through the male DB9 socket on the PCB.
The DB9 socket is configured as a master socket like you will find on desktop computers allowing you to connect external serial devices with a standard RS232 cable.
</pre>
The pinout connections for the RS232 port are shown below:<br>
