Appendix E – G39DDCi PCIe Card Connections
At the front, the WiNRADiO G39DDCi card has the SMA antenna input
connector, plus several additional optional inputs that may or may not be
installed, depending on the customer requirement:
At the rear of the card, there is a standard 6-pin connector for auxiliary power
as well as, optionally, an SMA connector for IF output (70 MHz):
The Auxiliary Power connector is useful if more than one card is installed in
the computer and there is not enough power provided by the PCI Express bus.
For more detailed technical information about these connections please refer
to the particular product’s technical specifications.
