14.I/O CABLES

When the panel I/O board PNL-Z32 is used, no cabling or wiring is required to operate the CPU (unless you want to connect to an external IDE drive or floppy drive). However for custom installations as well as development, Diamond Systems offers a cable kit no. C-PRZ-KITwith 9 cables to connect to all I/O headers on the board. Some cables are also available separately.

The mating cable for each I/O connector is listed in the chapter on I/O Headers starting on page 7.
