2.2 Left Side Interfaces and Connectors
The left side of the neoVI FIRE 2 contains two components: the HD-26 connector and a set of
red and green LEDs (Figure 5).

HD-26 Network Interface Connector
This male, high-density, 26-pin D-subminiature connector is the primary means by which
the neoVI FIRE 2 interfaces with vehicle networks. One of two network interface cables is
connected to this port, enabling CAN, LIN and Ethernet messages to be passed between the
network and the FIRE 2. This connector also provides primary power to the device.
Green and Red Status LEDs
You can determine the status of the neoVI FIRE 2 by observing the blink pattern of these two
LEDs. The patterns here will be identical to those seen in the keypad button LEDs on the
top membrane panel (explained in Section 2.4). The membrane LEDs will usually be more
convenient to use, but the traditional side panel LEDs have been preserved for those who are
accustomed to them from working with the original neoVI FIRE.
2.3 Right Side Interfaces and Connectors
This side of the neoVI FIRE 2 contains most of its connectors, ports and slots (Figure 6).
