4 DS2/DS4 Unit Hardware
The Director unit always has the same basic hardware, and this chapter describes the necessary links and pin-
outs that need to be understood before the system can be used. Director units are provided fully tested and are
typically supplied from the factory with a default software configuration.
The Director consists of the following hardware components:
•
Enclosure
- metal housing to contain processor and provide mounting arrangement
•
Baseboard
- contains power supply, built-in communication port terminations, and slots for installing
card
•
Microprocessor
- 386EX processor mounts to the Baseboard
•
Optional I/O
- PC/104 cards provide expansion I/O. Typically, the only card installed on a DS2 is the
Ethernet controller board (AIM104-ETHER).
•
Internal Connections
- connects internal I/O to outside of enclosure
This section describes the power supply, baseboard, I/O connections, and the microprocessor.
