Driving an LED
To drive a Light Emtting Diode (LED) tie the LED
Anode to pin 1 of option block J4. Tie the LED Cathode
to pin 2 of option block J4. Using the following illustration make the connections as indicated. Tie pin 2 of
J4 to pin 8 of the Auxiliary connector on the 68 pin model or to pin 77 of the 80 pin connector on the 80
pin model using the 150 Ohm resistor as indicated. This feature does not require the use of a jumper.

The auxiliary connector on 68 pin models
The 68 pin models contain an auxiliary connector. This connector conforms to SFF 8009 Rev 3.0 and is
typically used with a unitized connector found on external drive enclosures. The connector has a source
for +5 V dc (pin 11) and a connection (pin 8) for an LED cathode.
