Cables and Connectors
The MVME712M front panel has four serial ports, one printer port, one
SCSI port, and one Ethernet port. The connectors for these ports, the P2
backplane connector, and two modem connectors are described in the
following table. The P2 adapter board’s MVME712M connector, P2
connector, and SCSI connector are also described in the table.
Cables recommended for use with the connectors are also listed in the
table. Note that not all peripheral cables needed are provided with the
MVME712M. You may need to fabricate or purchase certain cables.
