2.4 Vdc at a source current of 0.32 mA and a logic low-level signal is no more than 0.4 Vdc at a sink current of 14 mA. Sun Ultra 60 Service Manual ♦ March 1999, Revision A C-18...
Receivers also operate at nominal 5-Vdc TTL levels and can withstand peak voltage transients between -2 Vdc and 7 Vdc without damage or improper operation. The high-level threshold is less than or equal to 2.0 Vdc and the low-level threshold is at least 0.8 Vdc.

-6 V and +6 Vdc. Switching from RS-232 to RS-423 protocol is accomplished by changing jumpers J2604 and J2605. Jumper positions 1 and 2 are for RS-232 and jumper positions 2 and 3 are for RS-423. Sun Ultra 60 Service Manual ♦ March 1999, Revision A C-20...
The preferred signaling protocol is RS-423. The higher voltages of R-232 make it difficult to switch at the higher baud rates. The maximum rate for RS-232 is approximately 64 Kbaud while the maximum rate for RS-423 is 460.8 Kbaud. The system default is set to RS-232.

displacement connector (IDC) receptacle attached to a 80-conductor cable. In addition to the SCSI signals, the 80-conductor cable carries diskette drive and system LED signals to the SCSI backplane card. The IDC receptacle mates with a right-angle plug that is mounted on the motherboard. The 80-conductor cable attaches on the other end to the SCSI backplane card with another IDC connector.

C.1.14 SuperIO The SuperIO is a commercial, off-the-shelf component that controls the keyboard, diskette, and parallel port interfaces. It contains a DMA-driven diskette controller, two serial port controllers, an IEEE 1284 parallel port interface, and an IDE disk interface (not currently used). The SuperIO drives the various ports directly with some EMI filtering on the keyboard and parallel port signals.

Jumper Descriptions Jumper configurations can be changed by setting jumper switches on the motherboard. The motherboard’s jumpers are preset at the factory. A jumper switch is closed (sometimes referred to as shorted) with the plastic cap inserted over two pins of the jumper. A jumper is open with the plastic cap inserted over one or no pin(s) of the jumper.
