CAUTION: Risk of Property Damage.
Do not apply power to the system before checking
all wiring connections. Short circuited or improperly
connected wires may result in permanent damage to
the equipment.
MISE EN GARDE: Risque dégâts matériels.
Ne pas mettre le système sous tension avant d'avoir
vérifié tous les raccords de câblage. Des fils formant
un court-circuit ou connectés de façon incorrecte
risquent d'endommager irrémédiablement
l'équipement.
IMPORTANT: Be careful to plug an option card into
the connector properly with its pins properly aligned.
Option cards typically provide additional
communication capabilities, such as those listed in
Table 2. For a list of supported COM port and slot
assignments for the option cards, see Table 3.

* If a modem card is installed, and the mode jumper is put in Serial Shell position (see Figure 6), then the FX20/FX60 base
RS-232 port becomes active immediately following a reboot. This allows an RS-232 connection to the serial shell for
debugging purposes. To re-enable the modem, you must put the mode jumper back in the Normal position and reboot.
