A1 IPB-FPE8 CPU Extension
The IPBFPE8 provides additional CPU functionality in the form of PS-2 style mouse and keyboard
connectors and a serial COM1 port.
A1.1 J11 Interface for COM1, Mouse & Keyboard
The control of the mouse, keyboard and COM1 interfaces is performed through the J11 connec-
tor on the CPU base board. The location of this connector may be determined by referring to
Section 1 - Product Overview of the CPU User’s Manual. A flex cable from J11 connects to a
number of interface boards - all of which are discussed in this section.
A1.2 IPB-FPE8 & Front-panel (4HP or 8HP)
The Inova IPB-FPE8 interface is a small piggyback either as stand-alone with its own 4HP front-
panel or integrated with the CPU as in figure A1.2.
