Connector Summary

Refer to Figure 2– 1 and Figure 2– 2 for the locations of the connectors (P1, P2, J3 – J21) and
configuration jumpers (W1 – W12). Table 2– 1 summarizes the use of the I/O connectors.

Each interface is described in its own section, showing connector pinouts, signal definitions,
required mating connectors, and configuration jumper options.

Many of the connectors have a key pin removed. This allows you to block the corresponding cable
connector socket to help prevent improper assembly. Table 2– 1 indicates which pins are key pins.
