3.6 Topside Processor Connections
The 4200 Rack Mount Topside Processor connections are made to both the front and back panels. The
701-DL Digital Link connections are made to the back panel only, and connections to the 4200-P Topside
Processor are made to a side panel.
3.6.1 4200 Rack Mount Topside Processor Connections
Most of the connections to the 4200 Rack Mount Topside Processor are made using connectors on the
back panel of the processor. These connectors are shown in F
IGURE 3-1. The trackball and keyboard
connections are made using the USB connectors on the front or back panel.
The 4200 Rack Mount Topside Processor connections are the following:
