2.20 COM port connector(CN9,CN10, CN29)

The PCI-6872 provides two serial ports (COM1: RS-232 and COM2: RS422/485)) in one COM port connector. It provides connections for serial devices (a mouse, etc.) or a communication network. You can find the pin assignments for the COM port connector in Appendix C.

2.21 Keyboard and PS/2 mouse connector (CN11)

The PCI-6872 board provides a keyboard connector that supports both a keyboard and a PS/2 style mouse. In most cases, especially in embedded applications, a keyboard is not used. If the keyboard is not present, the standard PC/AT BIOS will report an error or fail during power-on self- test (POST) after a reset. The PCI-6872's BIOS standard setup menu allows you to select “All, But Keyboard” under the “Halt On” selection. This allows no-keyboard operation in embedded system applications, without the system halting under POST.

2.22 External KB/mouse connector (CN12)

In addition to the PS/2 mouse/keyboard connector on the PCI-6872's rear plate, there is an additional onboard external keyboard

connector, allowing for greater flexibility in system design.
