I/O connector J7. A breakout cables and board combination, CBR-5011, is available from VersaLogic that provides discrete connectors for each of the interfaces; however, you may wish to create a custom cable that surfaces only the interfaces required by your application. -
Page 31: Ide
Interfaces and Connectors One IDE interface is available to connect up to two IDE devices, such as hard disks and CD- ROM drives. If the on-board CompactFlash is configured for use, only one other IDE device can be attached to the IDE controller. Connector J8 provides the interface to the IDE controller. Jumper V2[1-2] determines if the CompactFlash plugged into J5 is the master device or slave. -
Page 32: Serial Ports
ONNECTORS See the Connector Location Diagrams on pages 15 for connector and cable information. The pinouts of the DB9M connectors apply to the serial connectors on the VersaLogic breakout board CBR-5011. These connectors use IEC 61000-4-2-rated TVS components to help protect against ESD damage. -
