C.3 PolaRx5e design

C.3.1 Front panel

The layout of the front panel of the PolaRx5e is identical to that of the PolaRx5 and described
in Section 2.2.1. The front-panel layout of the PolaRx5e is shown in Figure C-2. Note that the
LED behaviour of the PolaRx5e is described in Appendix E.

Figure C-2:

PolaRx5e front-panel layout

C.3.2 Rear panel

The rear-panel layout of the PolaRx5e di

ﬀ

ers slightly to that of the PolaRx5 described in

Section 2.2.2. The WiFi connector of the PolaRx5e is located on the left-hand side of the
rear panel (located on right-hand side of PolaRx5). Figure C-3 shows the layout of the
rear-panel connectors on the PolaRx5e. More information on these connectors can be found
in Appendix B.
