Chapter 6: Connector Pin Assignments
A breakout cable is delivered with each card. The cable mates with a 37-pin connector on the card
mounting bracket and, at the other ends of the cable, the popular 9-pin D sub-miniature male
connector is used to interface with your communication lines. Those connectors are equipped with
4-40 threaded standoffs (female screw lock) to provide strain relief.

The cards can be ordered without the breakout cable. In that case your communication cables will
connect directly to the 37-pin D style connector on the card mounting bracket. Pin assignments are
as follows:

port.
