Product Overview ICP-CM
1.01 Interfacing
To satisfy today’s LAN-hungry industrial applications, Inova have implemented dual, independent
100BaseTx LAN Fast Ethernet interfaces as standard on the CPU’s front-panel - or fed to a rear I/O
transition module on the backplane. Connectivity is further enhanced through the integration of
the latest USB 2.0 serial interfaces that permit a number of readily available peripherals such as
mouse, keyboard, floppy drives and even CD-ROMs or printers to be utilized without compromizing
front panel width.
1.02 Peripherals
The ICP-CM supports standard PC peripherals – floppy disk, hard disk and CD ROM. Notebook
style hard disks may be connected directly to the base-board (2-slot) and possess their own front-
panel offering COM ports and combined PS-2 style connector for mouse and keyboard.
