You can plug keyboards that have a 6-pin Mini DIN PS/2 type
connector directly into the VXIpc-850. You can use the keyboard
adapter cable that is included with every VXIpc-850 kit to adapt the
larger AT keyboard connector to the 6-pin Mini DIN connector.
A twisted-pair cable connects the front panel audio connector to the
VXIpc-850 motherboard. Connect the external speaker to this
front-panel connector. The center pin of the connector provides the
audio signal. The shield of the connector is GROUND.
For information about adding RAM to the VXIpc-850, refer to
Appendix A, Specifications.
See Appendix B, VXIpc-850 System Resources, for information on the
available port I/O register space, upper memory area, interrupts, and
DMA channels.
The VXIpc-850 automatically detects whether or not it is in Slot 0 of a
VXIbus mainframe. You do not need to change jumper settings to
install the VXIpc-850 in a slot other than Slot 0 unless you have
defeated the first slot detector (FSD) circuitry by changing jumper
W13.
Refer to Chapter 3 of this manual, Configuration and Installation , for
information on enabling and defeating the FSD circuitry.
You can view these parameters in the BIOS setup. To enter the BIOS
setup, reboot the VXIpc-850 and press the < DEL > key during the
memory tests. Refer to Chapter 4, WinBIOS , for more information.
