External Signals Cabling Options for J4
Two I/O connector bracket options are available for the J4 connector header on the X64 Xcelera-HS
PX8 board. The "Type 1" cable assembly allows connection to all available I/O signals. The "Type 2"
cable assembly provides a subset of the signals that uses a different connector compared to J1
external signals connector.
External Signals Connector Bracket Assembly (Type 1)
The External Signals bracket (OC-X4CC-IOCAB) provides a simple way to bring out the signals from
the External Signals Connector J4 to a bracket mounted DB37. Install the bracket assembly into an
adjacent PC expansion slot and connect the free cable end to the board's J4 header. When
connecting to J4, make sure that the cable pin 1 goes to J4 pin 1 (see the layout drawing
Xcelera-HS PX8 revision A1 Layout Drawing
" on page 64
).
