Connector panel and I/O connectors (Option 11)

Underneath each cabinet of the Option 11 is a connector panel with ten numbered connector ports. Each connector port connects to the corresponding numbered slot directly above it, inside the cabinet. Figure 8 shows the connector panel for the main cabinet, and Figure 9 shows the connector panel for the expansion cabinet.

The I/O connectors for the IPE Module installed in an Option 11 system are standard, shielded, 50-pin tip-ring-type connector ports on the connector panel, which is located under the cabinet containing the module. The connector ports used depend on the slots occupied by the IPE Module. Tables 5 and 6 show the connector ports used for each possible location of the IPE Module. Figure 6 shows the IPE Module installed in slots 5, 6, and 7 of an Option 11 main cabinet. Table 5 shows that the cables are connected to connector ports J5 and J7.
