2.16.4 TTL LCD/DSTN connector(CN17)

CN17 is a 40-pin connector for TTL LCD or DSTN. It could connect TTL LCD or DSTN freely to meet your need.

2.17 USB connectors (CN4,CN11,CN12)

The POD-6552 board provides up to six USB (Universal Serial Bus) ports. This gives complete Plug and Play, and hot attach/detach for up to 127 external devices. The USB interfaces comply with USB specification Rev. 2.0, and are fuse protected.

The USB interface is accessed through the 5 x 2-pin flat-cable connector, CN4(USB0, 1),CN12(USB2, 3),CN11(USB4,5). You will need an adapter cable if you use a standard USB connector. The adapter cable has a 5 x 2-pin connector on one end and a USB connector on the other.

The USB interfaces can be disabled in the system BIOS setup.

2.18 Ethernet configuration

The POD-6552 is equipped with a high performance 32-bit PCI-bus Eth- ernet interface which is fully compliant with IEEE 802.3U 10/100Mbps CSMA/CD standards. It is supported by all major network operating sys- tems.

The POD-6552 supports 10/100Base-T Ethernet connections with onboard RJ-45 connectors(CN6).

2.18.1 LAN connector (CN6)

10/100 or 1000 Base-T connects to the POD-6552 via a cable to a stan- dard RJ-45 connector.

2.18.2 Network boot

The Network Boot feature can be utilized by incorporating the Boot ROM image files for the appropriate network operating system. The Boot ROM BIOS files are included in the system BIOS, which is on the utility CD disc.

2.19 COM port connector (CN2,CN9)

The POD-6552 provides four serial ports (COM1,COM3,COM4: RS-232

and COM2: RS232/RS422/RS485). CN2 supports COM1 and COM2; CN9 supports COM3, COM4. and J1/J2/J3/J4 is for COM2 RS232/ RS422/RS485 selection. It provides connections for serial devices (a
