DaqBoard/2000 Series and /2000c Series Boards communicate [external from the host PC] through a
100-pin P4 connector. Typically a DBK200 Series P4-adapter is used to provide one or more DB37
connectors (P1, P2, P3). The DBK200 Series also includes a few panel-mount card options that connect
directly to the P4 connector via a cable.

Connections

The following illustration and the actual board silkscreen are the only references you should need to make
proper connections.

CAUTION

Turn off power to the host PC and externally connected equipment prior to connecting
cables or signal lines to the DBK. Electric shock or damage to equipment can result
even under low-voltage conditions.
Take ESD precautions (packaging, proper handling, grounded wrist strap, etc.)

Use care to avoid touching board surfaces and onboard components. Only handle
boards by their edges (or ORBs, if applicable). Ensure boards do not come into
contact with foreign elements such as oils, water, and industrial particulate.

Do not confuse connectors. Ensure that you only connect P1 I/Os to P1, P2 I/Os to P2,
and P3 I/Os to P3. Improper connection may result in equipment damage.

Be sure to align the P4 orientation indicators () prior to mating the P4 connectors.
