Figure 1.44 Front-Panel Options
The front-panels shown in Figure 1.44 show the tremendous flexibility built into Inova’s CPU
concept. From left, the standard CPU is 4TE with Ethernet, FireWire, USB and VGA graphic con-
nections. If, instead of VGA graphics, PanelLink is required then the piggyback is installed on J14
for this purpose. TFT graphics are realised in a similar way except an extra 4TE front-panel is
required (not shown) to carry the flat-band ribbon cables.
If the application requires the mouse, keyboard and COM ports or if the CPU is equipped with a
hard disk or FLASH that is greater than 144MByte
1) then an 8TE front-panel is selected. Both COM
ports are installed on Inova’s HD or IDE FLASH carrier board. A piggyback with COM1, mouse and
keyboard is also available allowing the lower 9-pin D-Sub connector position to be used for a PCI-
based piggyback.
LPT and COM2 interfaces are available on a dedicated panel shown to the right of Figure 1.44.
If a high-profile DOC FLASH is installed and a hard disk is required, the HD is mounted separately
