The rear panel on the Processor Unit is fitted with labels to identify the various connectors.

A |
These cables are only used with Operating Panel Mk1.

Control cable: From Processor Unit to Operating Panel (Mk1) A dedicated serial line cable is used to connect the Operating Panel to the Processor Unit. This is a special cable. It has one common female 15-pin connector in one end leading to two separate 9-pin connectors (one
male and one female) in the two other ends of the cable. The cable length is 4.5 meters. The female connector connects to the top socket on slot A.

DC power cable: From Processor Unit to Operating Panel Power Supply |
|
|
B |
Video cable: From Processor Unit to display (C9) This is a commercial cable. The display cable is often physically attached to the display, and terminated in the “computer end” with a male connector. If the cable is not attached, it is normally provided with the display.
If you need to use a DVI-to-SVGA adapter to connect your display, you must use the left DVI-I output. This is the only output that supports the SVGA signals.

D |
Serial cables: From Processor Unit to external device(s) (C13) |
|
E |
Ethernet cable: These are sockets for fibre optic Ethernet cables. They are currently not in use. |
|
F |
Ethernet cable: From Processor Unit to Transceiver Unit (C8) The maximum length of each Ethernet cable from the Processor Unit to the Transceiver Unit is 100 meters.
It is very important that high-quality Ethernet cables are used. You must use CAT-5E STP (Shielded Twisted Pair) quality or better. If you use cables with lower bandwidth capacity you will reduce the CS90 performance. Do not connect the Processor Unit to the Transceiver Unit using an existing local area network (LAN).

|
G |
Serial cable: From Processor Unit to external device(s) (C13)NoteIf you use Operating Panel Mk1 on your CS90, this socket is used for the control cable between the Processor Unit and the operating panel.
|
|
H |
AC power cable: From Processor Unit to uninterruptible power supply (UPS) (C3) |
|
J |
Ground cable: From Processor Unit to vessel ground (C6) |
|
K |
Control cable: From Processor Unit to Operating Panel This cable is only used with Operating Panel Mk1. This is a standard commercial USB data cable. It has a quadratic USB connector in the Operating Panel end (B-plug), and rectangular
USB connector in the Processor Unit end (A-plug).
|
|
M |
Ethernet cable (ETH1): From Processor Unit to Operating Panel (C12) The connection may be made through an Ethernet switch. Do not use the adapter in Slot F.
|
|
N |
Ethernet cable (ETH2): From Processor Unit to local area network (LAN) (C14) Do not use the adapter in Slot F.
