A1.3 Stand-Alone IPB-FPE8
Figure A1.3 illustrates the construction of the stand-alone IPB-FPE8 piggyback and the underside
location of the J11 connector. Care should be taken to ensure that pin 1 of J11 on the CPU base
board is linked by an appropriate length of flex cable to pin 1 on the piggyback. To help with the
orientation, the connector flanks that are blue indicate the blue face of the flex-cable. Unmarked
flanks indicate the metallic connection of the flex-cable. Also, pin 1 has been highlighted by a red
triangle.
Note:
Damage to the CPU board or the
piggyback may result if the flex cable
is positioned incorrectly. Inova will not
accept responsibility for negligent
actions!

Note:
The physical connection of the IPB-
FPE8 is electrically identical regardless
of the nature of connection (stand-
alone or integrated!)
