3.6.2 External HW Control
All Hardware status and control signals of ML4062-MCB-MXP-ETH can be accessed
through the pin headers connector J7, in addition to other HW pins at J18 pin header, as
shown below.
Figure 4: Hardware Signals
When a jumper is placed on P19 (HW_CTRL), the control signals can be accessed
externally through pin headers shown above. In this case control signals are tri-stated in
the microcontroller and controlled externally by the user.
The low speed signals circuit shown below shows the connection of these signals to the
microcontroller and QSFP-DD connector.
