Custom cables
To conserve board real estate a few connectors on the XE–800 are non-standard or
provide alternate interfaces. The cables listed below connect to the XE–800 SBC
and provide industry-standard interfaces. For ordering information see page 117.
COM PORT VTC-20F Cable
This cable connects to the 20-pin COM1/2 port
and provides two DB-9 female connectors. A VTC-20M provides two DB-9 male
connectors.
1.25 mm COM2 RS-422/485 Cable
This cable connects to the 5-pin header
for RS-422/485 on COM2 and provides a standard DB-9 interface.
2 mm VGA-12 Cable
Provides a standard 15-pin VGA interface.
44-pin to 40-pin IDE Cable
Converts the 44-pin IDE header to a 40-pin IDE
header.
Keyboard/Mouse “Y” Cable
Connects to the PS/2 keyboard/mouse port to
provide keyboard and mouse interfaces. A keyboard will plug directly into the
XE–800 port.
Two-port USB Cable
Converts the 10-pin header for USB1,2 into two
standard USB connectors.
XE–800 ATX Power Cable
Connects to the 10-pin ATX power connector and
provides a standard 20-pin ATX connector.
Caution
USB devices are hot-swappable when a device is plugged into a
standard USB connector, as pins on the connectors determine the
order in which they make contact. Devices are not hot-swappable
when connected to a non-standard header. You can hot swap a
device through the USB connector on the two port USB cable, or
through another USB connector wired to the 10-pin header, but you
cannot hot swap at the 10-pin header itself.
