Connect the EXT-KSDIO Module to the Digital I/O Connector on the Carrier Board
The EXT-KSDIO module (8-bit digital I/O daughter board) is designed to connected to a digital
I/O connector on the Q7A-551 carrier board via an EXT-KSDIO cable for extending 8-bit GPIO
7-pole terminal blocks at the I/O ports of the system unit.
