Figure 1.44 Front-Panel Options
1
The front-panels shown in Figure 1.44 show the tremendous flexibility built into Inova’s CPU concept. From left, the standard CPU is 4TE with Ethernet, FireWire, USB and VGA graphic con- nections. If, instead of VGA graphics, PanelLink is required then the piggyback is installed on J14 for this purpose. TFT graphics are realised in a similar way except an extra 4TE front-panel is required (not shown) to carry the flat-band ribbon cables.
If the application requires the mouse, keyboard and COM ports or if the CPU is equipped with a hard disk or FLASH that is greater than 144MByte1) then an 8TE front-panel is selected. Both COM ports are installed on Inova’s HD or IDE FLASH carrier board. A piggyback with COM1, mouse and keyboard is also available allowing the lower 9-pin D-Sub connector position to be used for a PCI- based piggyback.
LPT and COM2 interfaces are available on a dedicated panel shown to the right of Figure 1.44.
If a high-profile DOC FLASH is installed and a hard disk is required, the HD is mounted separately
