    Front Connectors HARDWARE INTERFACE FRONT CONNECTORS Figure 2: OP5700 front panel A. RJ45 connector panels provide connections to monitor signals from mezzanine I/O boards. Each connector is linked to front and back mezzanines on the carrier board. Analog mezzanines (channels 0-15) will use only the first column of connectors. Digital mezzanines will use both columns (channels 0-15 in the first column and channels 16-31 on the second column of connectors).
  • Page 12 GREEN GREEN Table 2: OP5700 SYNCHRO LEDs *The color of the LED on power on depends on the default FPGA configuration: when the FPGA board is programmed in slave synchronization mode, the LED will be orange; when it is programmed in master mode, the LED will be green.

    3. Connect the ground screw as described in the “CONNECTING THE GROUND SCREW” section below 4. Connect the blue RJ45 cable to the Ethernet port on the OP5700 and connect to the same network used by the host PC. Refer to the “Cabling Instructions” and the System Description document delivered with your simulator to locate the connector to be used.

    DB37F Connectors I/O CONFIGURATIONS The OP5700 simulator provides signal conditioning for up to 256 I/Os, which are managed from the FPGA module and are accessible via DB37 and RJ45 connectors in the back and front of the chassis. I/O lines are routed through a carrier board (inside the chassis) that can accept up to 8 signal conditioning modules, which provides greater signal conditioning flexibility.
