NI 656X Front Panels and Connectors
The NI 656X front panels contain four connectors—three SMB jacks
(CLK IN, PFI 0, and CLKOUT) and one 73-pin 12x Infiniband connector
(DIGITAL DATA & CONTROL, or DDC).
Figure 10 shows the NI6561 front panels and pinout, which are identical to
those of the NI 6562. Signals marked with an asterisk represent the
complementary terminal for the differential signal of the same name. The
DDC signals are described in Table6. The SMB connectors are the same as
those described in Table7, and the LEDs are the same as those described in
Tables8 and 9.
Note If you are designing a custom cabling solution with connector
(779157-01) and cable (192744-01), the NI 656X pinout is reversed
at the end connector. For example, the signal shown on pin 1 shown
in the previous figure would map to pin 73 at the end connector.
