Physical description
The NT8D41AA Serial Data Interface paddle board is a printed circuit board
measuring 31.12 by 12.7 cm (12.25 by 5.0 in.). See
Figure 266 "NT8D41AA
SDI paddle board" (page 812) .
Up to two paddle boards can be used in a system backplane for a total
of four serial ports. Up to 12 other serial ports can be added by plugging
standard serial cards into standard system slots. The two serial ports on
each card are addressed as a pair of consecutive addresses (0 and 1, 2
and 3, up to 14 and 15).
The front edge of the card has two serial port connectors, an Enable/Disable
switch (ENB/DIS), and a red LED. The LED indicates that the card has been
disabled. It is lit when the following occurs:
• the ENB/DIS switch is set to disable
• both ports are disabled in software
• the ports are not configured in the configuration record
