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.
The following table lists the connectors on the PCA-6145B/PCA-6145L.

Always ground yourself to remove any static charge before
touching the CPU card. Modern electronic devices are very
sensitive to static electric charges. Use a grounding wrist
strap at all times. Place all electronic components on a static-
dissipative surface or in a static-shielded bag when they are
not in the chassis.
Always completely disconnect the power cord from your
chassis whenever you are working on it. Do not make con-
nections while the power is on. Sensitive electronic compo-
nents can be damaged by the sudden rush of power. Only
experienced electronics personnel should open the PC chas-
sis.
