2.5.4 Keyboard & PS/2 Mouse Connector (CN13)
The POD-6704 board provides a keyboard connector. A 6-pin mini-
DIN connector (CN13) on the card mounting bracket supports
single-board computer applications. The card comes with an
adapter to convert from the 6-pin mini-DIN connector to a
standard DIN connector and to a PS/2 mouse connector.
2.5.5 Extra keyboard connector (CN14)
In addition to the PS/2 mouse/keyboard connector on the POD-
6704's rear plate, there is an additional onboard external keyboard
connector, allowing for greater flexibility in system design.
2.5.6 Parallel Port Connector (CN15)
The parallel port is normally used to connect the CPU card to a
printer. The POD-6704 includes an on-board parallel port, accessed
through a 26-pin flat-cable connector, CN15. The card comes with
an adapter cable which lets you use a traditional DB-25 connector.
The cable has a 26-pin connector on one end and a DB-25
connector on the other, mounted on a retaining bracket. The
bracket installs at the end of an empty slot in your chassis, giving
you access to the connector.
The parallel port is designated as LPT1, and can be disabled or
changed to LPT2 or LPT3 in the system BIOS setup.
To install the bracket, find an empty slot in your chassis. Unscrew
the plate that covers the end of the slot. Screw in the bracket in
place of the plate. Next, attach the flat-cable connector to CN15 on
the CPU card. Wire 1 of the cable is red or blue, and the other wires
are gray. Make sure that wire 1 corresponds to pin 1 of CN15. Pin 1
is on the right side of CN15.
2.5.7 Floppy Drive Connector (CN16)
You can attach up to two floppy disk drives to the POD-6704's on-
board controller. You can use any combination of 5.25" (360 KB/1.2
