The PCI-QUAD-AC5 has four 50-pin header connectors (P1 to P4). If you are connecting to SSR-PB24 racks or equivalent, we recommend using the C50FE-x series cable (see Figure 2-2).
If you need direct access to the digital I/O, use the C50FF-x series cable to connect four CIO-MINI50 boards, four CIO-SPADE50, two SCB-50 boards, or two CIO-TERM100 terminal accessory boards. Any of these bring all I/O connections out to convenient, easy-to-use screw terminals.
When installing the ribbon cables, thread them through the bracket on the end of the board.
