18 PCA-6144V User's Manual
Parallel port (CN7)
The parallel port is normally used to connect the CPU card to a
printer. The PCA-6144V includes an on-board parallel port,
accessed through a 26-pin flat-cable connector, CN7. The card
comes with an adapter cable which lets you use a traditional DB-
25 connector. The cable has a 26-pin connector on one end and a
DB-25 connector on the other, mounted on a retaining bracket.
The bracket installs at the end of an empty slot in your chassis,
giving you access to the connector.
To install the bracket, find an empty slot in your chassis. Unscrew
the plate that covers the end of the slot. Screw in the bracket in
place of the plate. Next, attach the flat-cable connector to CN7 on
the CPU card. Wire 1 of the cable is red or blue, and the other
wires are gray. Make sure that wire 1 corresponds to pin 1 of CN7.
Pin 1 is on the right side of CN7.
Keyboard & PS/2 mouse connectors
(CN5)
The PCA-6144V board provides a keyboard connector. A 6-pin
mini-DIN connector (CN5) on the card mounting bracket supports
single-board computer applications. The card comes with an
adapter to convert from the 6-pin mini-DIN connector to a
standard DIN connector and to a PS/2 mouse connector.
