1-22 General Information
1.7 Front and Rear Panel I/O Options
The Topaz/Stratus/Garnet boards support front-panel I/O as well as rear-
panel I/O via PMC Pn4. Not all hosts support rear-panel I/O. Those that
do oftentimes have poorly routed traces from the PMC Pn4 connector to
the host backplane connector, which makes them unsuitable for high
frequency applications, especially LVDS and DVI. Check the host
(carrier) documentation to determine what support is provided before
considering rear panel I/O as an option.
Depending on the board, several input and output streams and connections
are possible both to front panel connectors as well as the rear panel I/O
(Pn4) connector.
