With an ETX Single Board Computer, 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 are available for securing the ETX CN700 to the host board
Refer to
Appendix 1
for details of the connector pin descriptions
When installing or removing the ETX CN700 module 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 ETX CN700 onto the host board, check if any pillars or mounting fittings need to be
fitted to the host board.
The Blue Chip Technology MagnumX product has 4 mounting pillars which must first be attached to the host
board as shown below in Figure 2.
