This appendix describes the front panel and connectors on the PXI-8170 
Series embedded computer.

The PXI-8170 Series has the following front panel connectors:

•

VGA Controller

•

Extended Capabilities Parallel (ECP)

•

PS/2-Style Keyboard

•

PS/2-Style Mouse

•

Universal Serial Bus (USB)

•

RS-232 Serial

Note

The illustrations in this appendix show the mating face of the connectors. 

An asterisk suffix (*) on a signal name indicates that the signal is active low.

Front Panel

Figure E-1 shows the front panel layout of the PXI-8170. The drawing 
shows dimensions relevant to key elements on the front panel. Dimensions 
are shown in inches and millimeters, with millimeter dimensions in square 
brackets. The front panel thickness for all models in the PXI-8170 Series is 
2.49 mm (0.098 in.)
