Figure A1.4 Piggyback Interface IPB-FPE8MS
Note that the IPB-FPE8 module does not allow a HD to be connected behind it and the lower 9-
pin D-Sub slot may be used for remote connection of PanelLink for example. The IPB-FPE8MS
shown in figure A1.4 enables connection of floppy, a CD-ROM and other peripherals. The connector
names and descriptions are declared in table A1.4.
Table A1.4 IPB-FPE8MS Connector Description
A1.4 IPB-FPE8MS (Theme Variation)
Figure A1.4 illustrates the construction of the IPB-FPE8MS - a variation of the IPB-FPE8 but with a
number of extra features. The electrical connection to the CPU base board is still via the underside
connector J11 and again, the precautions mentioned for the IPB-FPE8 are valid here.
