Front Panels and Connectors
The NI 656
x
front panels contain four connectors—three SMB jacks (CLK IN, PFI 0, and
CLK OUT) and one 73-pin 12x Infiniband connector (DIGITAL DATA & CONTROL, or
DDC).
Figure 17 shows the NI 6561 front panels and pinout, which are identical to those of the
NI 6562. Signals marked with an asterisk represent the complementary terminal for the
differential signal of the same name. The DDC signals are described in Table 6. The
SMB connectors are the same as those described in Table 7, and the LEDs are the same as those
described in Tables 8 and 9.
