Termination Resistors
The PCIe-SIO4BX2 transceivers have built in termination resistors for the RS-422/RS485 mode. The built in RS-
422/RS485 termination is a 120 Ohm parallel termination. If desired, the internal termination resistors may be
disabled by setting bit D30 in the Pin Source Register.
The board is designed with socketed external parallel termination (if a different value than the internal termination is
required). The external termination resistors are 8 pin SIPs. There are 8 termination SIPs – RP1-RP4, RP7-RP10.
The external parallel resistors are for RS422/RS485 termination only. Refer to Figure 5-1 for resistor pack locations.
Please contact
if a different termination value is required.

LEDs
Five bicolor LEDs (D1-D5) are accessible via software. Refer to Figure 5-1 for these LED locations.
LED D1 is controlled from the Board Control Register. LED_D1 Red is controlled by D25, and LED_D1 Green is
controlled D24
The remaining 4 LEDs are controlled from D23:D20 of the four Channel Control Registers. Each Channel Control
Register controls 1 LED. If D23:D22="10", the Red LED will turn off. Likewise, if D23:D22="11", the Red LED
will turn on. D21:D20 controls the Green LED in the pair.
LED_D2 is controlled by Ch 4
LED_D3 is controlled by Ch 3
LED_D4 is controlled by Ch 2
LED_D5 is controlled by Ch 1
.Additionally, if all the LED controls are set to 0 in all four of the Channel Control Registers (power up default), the
LEDs will display the lower 4 bits of the firmware revision in Green LED_D2 to LED_D5.
The remaining LED (D6) display the firmware status. This LED should flash at power up or after a PCIe reset,
then will turn off. The LED should be off during normal operation.
