The Eurotech Gigabit Ethernet adaptor To simplify connections between the Gigabit Ethernet port of the CPU module and the network cable we suggest using the Eurotech ACS-9096-00 Adaptor. Please refer to the Technical Datasheet Td0027 (http://www.eurotech.com/DLA/AN/Td0027.pdf) for further information. NOTE:...
CPU-1474/84 User Manual J17: Serial ports 1 and 2 J17 makes available the following serial ports: • Serial 1, RS232 only (called Serial A in the BIOS) • Serial 2, RS232 / RS422 / RS485, software selectable from BIOS (called Serial B in the BIOS) Figure 2.
You need to use an Ethernet transceiver before establish an Ethernet connection between the CPU module and the network cable. The Eurotech ACS-9095-05 is an Ethernet transceiver ready-to-use, and can be connected directly to J20. Please refer to the Technical Datasheet Td0004 (http://www.eurotech.com/DLA/AN/Td0004.pdf) for...

The Boot menu After you turn on your CPU-1474/84, it will attempt to load the operating system from the device of your choice. If it cannot find the operating system on that device, it will attempt to load it from one or more other devices in the order specified in the Boot Menu.
Changes." Both procedures store the selections displayed in the menus in CMOS (short for "battery- backed CMOS RAM") a special section of memory that stays on after you turn your system off. The next time you boot your CPU-1474/84, the BIOS configures your system according to the Setup selections stored in CMOS.
