Series 90 Setup Manual
SERIES 90/SERIES 90HV SYSTEM CONTROLLER INTERFACING
Rear Panel
The rear panel of the system controller has eight vertical slots. They are numbered 1 through 8
starting at your right side when facing the rear panel. See Figure 6. Exact placement of the
interface ports and control boards may vary between systems. A typical system controller
contains the following interface ports and control boards:
• Cablescan I/O Board (Typically slot 1)
• VGA Color Monitor Adapter (15-pin High Density D-type connector)
• Serial I/O ports (9-pin male D-type connectors, COM 1 & COM 2)
• Parallel port (25-pin female D-type connector, PRINTER)
• Keyboard connector (Bottom PS2 connector, KB)
• Mouse Connector (Top PS2 connector, MOUSE)
The remaining slots are covered with blank panels. (Additional boards may be installed in these
empty slots for special applications.)
Depending on the CPU board used in your system controller, the 15-pin monitor
connector may be located vertically on the left most slot, instead of next to the
COM1 port, as shown above.
I/O Board
The Cablescan I/O Board is a high-speed communication board used in sending and receiving
test information to the Scanner Control Boards located in Series 90 expansion cabinets. (The
Scanner Control Board controls the Scanner Boards, which contain the test points in its cabinet.)
One of the main purposes of the Scanner Control Board is to allow up to 32 cabinets to be daisy
chained together as one system. The I/O board inserts into an ISA slot on the CPU board. There
are four external connections on the board: Expansion cabinet connector (female 9-pin D-type),
remote signal output connector (female 15-pin D-type), footswitch connection (phone jack), and
a wrist strap probe connection (banana jack).
