    Chapter 2 Connecting peripherals This chapter tells how to connect peripherals, switches and indicators to the PCA-6145B/PCA-6145L board. You can access most of the connec- tors from the top of the board while it is installed in the chassis. If you have a number of cards installed, or your chassis is very tight, you may need to partially remove the card to make all the connections.

  • Page 29: Enhanced Ide Connectors (Cn1)

    CN2 consists of a 44-pin, dual-in-line header. Power supplies (+12V) present on CN2 depend on the supply connected to the board. The PCA-6145B/PCA-6145L provides a bias control signal on CN2 which can be used to control the LCD bias voltage. It is recommended that the LCD bias voltage (+5V) and panel video signals are stable.
