User I/O Wiring
Each of the 50 pins on each I/O connector for the six IndustryPack slots (A, B, C, D, E,
and F) connects to an identically numbered pin on the six corresponding flat cable
connectors on the PCI-60A. The IndustryPack I/O connector, the PCI-60A flat cable
connectors, and the wires on the ribbon cables are all numbered identically from 1 to 50.
Each connector is labeled as IndustryPack Slot A Connector, IndustryPack Slot B
Connector, IndustryPack Slot C Connector, IndustryPack Slot D Connector, IndustryPack
Slot E Connector, and IndustryPack Slot F Connector on the silkscreen.
Pin 1 on IndustryPack and PCI-60A connectors is marked with a square pad, observable
from the solder side of the respective board. Pin 1 is also shown on the silkscreen for
each connector.
Caution: This pin numbering system is not maintained with many mass-terminated
connectors. Each type of connector has its own intrinsic pin numbering system. Systems
integrators or users making their own cables must be certain which pin corresponds to
which signal.
The pin assignment of the IndustryPack I/O connector is fixed by the connector
manufacturer and repeated in the IndustryPack Specification. This assignment is shown
in the figure below:

Figure 9. IndustryPack Connector Pin Numbering
Viewed from solder side of PCI-60A
The PCI-60A carrier board connects the mating I/O connector pins to a 50-pin flat cable
connector. All pins from the IndustryPack go to identically numbered pins on these
connectors. The pin numbering assignment of the four 50-pin front panel connectors is
shown in the figure below. The wires in ribbon cables themselves are numbered
sequentially across the flat cable starting with a red stripe on pin 1.

Interfacing to the outside world - the I/O cabling - remains the responsibility of the system
