SYSTEM HARDWARE
3.1
System Controller
The NS40 itself includes one (1) coupler board (A1200 matching board), RF antenna
wiring, and one (1) System Controller and control cabling. The System Controller is one
of the central devices. USB devices and the Light and Speaker board interface directly
with it.
A 64-Bit Processor runs the embedded software and firmware, which work together
to control all high-level and low-level operations. An example of a high-level (software)
operation is reporting to the cloud; an example of a low-level (firmware) operation is
controlling the hardware.
For wireless functionality, the System Controller relies on auxiliary devices (e.g.
Bluetooth dongle). The USB Ports and Ethernet port are described in more detail below.
The system controller receives 5.0V / 3A regulated DC power from the Light and Speaker
board covered in section 3.2.1 below.
3.1.1
USB Ports on the System Controller
There are three (3) connection ports are USB Ports and one (1) is an Ethernet port (RJ-45) on one side of the
System Controller. Each
USB Port
has a
designated function
(e.g. the port for Bluetooth; the port for the
Data cable). When you need to swap (or install) an accessory module, be sure you are installing your device
in the correct port. The Ethernet port is a wired "Service Interface," used only by MFG and/or field service.

Spare "SOM" for NS40
10035460
^SOM,NS40
The same SOM unit (CKP P/N 10034668) is used in both NS40 and NG10. The thermal pad used is the
only difference. Also, for NS40 the thermal pad is pre-applied in the correct place. The NS40 Quick Start
Guide will describe SOM replacement.

Light and Speaker Board
The Lights and Speaker board (CKP P/N 10077571) mates directly with the system controller. +24V DC
power arrives from the lower bay. The PCB features power regulators, a real-time clock with temperature
compensation and battery backup, a watchdog, an Audio amplifier, and a RGB Light driver.
