Daughter Board connector locations
Figure 1: Connector Locations
With an ETX daughter board, the main connections for Keyboard, Mouse, Video, IDE, USB etc are made via
the Host Board. On the ETX CN700 there are only two direct connections, both of which are SATA connectors.
Connection to the host board is with four Hirose plug connectors (part number FX8-100P-SV) which mate with
corresponding Hirose socket connectors (eg part number FX8-100S-SV). There are four mounting holes of
2.5mm diameter available for securing the daughter board to the host board
Refer to
Appendix 1
for details of the connector pin descriptions
When installing or removing the daughter board onto the host board, ensure that all power has been removed,
including 5V stand- by if present and any external Lithium cell or RTC back-up battery.
Before assembling the daughter board onto the host board, check that the mounting fittings are fitted to the host
board as shown below in Figure 2.
