Interface Connector Summary
Refer to Figure 2–1 for the locations of the connectors (P1A/B, P2C/D, J2 – J7, J11 – J16) and
configuration jumpers (W1 – W14). Table 2–1 summarizes the use of the I/O connectors and Table
2–2 summarizes use of the configuration jumpers. Each interface is described in its own section,
showing connector pin outs, signal definitions, required mating connectors, and configuration
jumper options.
Many of the connectors have a key pin removed. This allows you to block the corresponding cable
connector socket to help prevent improper assembly and possible board damage. Table 2–1
indicates which pins are key pins, and Figure 2–1 shows their locations.
