2.2.2 Internal Module Rack COM Board 
Two models of internal module rack COM boards are available. The N12 uses the 4-slot COM board, and 
the N15/N17 uses the 6-slot COM board. The internal module rack COM board is used to provide the 
interface for communication with the parameter module, the SMR interface and nurse call interface, and 
the MPAN module interface. Besides, the data forwarding FPGA and corresponding power circuit are also 
provided on the internal module rack COM board.

Figure 2-3 Diagram of power architecture 
 
The AC/DC power module outputs 15V to the main control board, and 3.3V, 5V and 12V can be generated 
through the internal DC-DC conversion circuit in the main control board to provide a power supply to 
other modules or boards in the main unit. The battery charging circuit is powered by 15V, and the AC 
power supply and battery power supply can be switched according to AC on-line detection. 
 
The +12V power supply is provided to the power supply, including the external module rack, and the 
DC-DC isolation design is implemented at the module end. 
 
The iVIew assembly uses the power rail Vbus, which is the switching output between the AC-DC output 
and battery and aims to avoid abnormal power failure of the iView module and running exception of the 
Windows OS running on other modules due to an unexpected power failure of the AC power supply. The 
battery supports the main unit to stop the iView module in the normal power-off mode. In the case of 
battery power supply, the iView module cannot start.
