Psion Teklogix 8570 Benutzerhandbuch

3.5  Ports

There are eight connectors on the back of the 8570, which can be used for the 
addition of a variety of peripheral accessories. These connectors are protected from 
harsh environments by an IP66 cable cover and gasket. The connector locations and 
gasket arrangement are shown in Figure 3.5 on page 31.

In addition, there are two PCMCIA slots on the top of the computer that are 
available for PC card devices. 

If peripherals are connected to the 8570, the IP66 cover must be 
removed. The cables for the peripheral(s) are then placed through 
the blue gasket. For detailed instructions, refer to “Connecting 
Cables”, below.

3.5.1  Connecting Cables

There are several steps to take to properly seal the computer around the attached 
cables. Before following these instructions, refer to Figure 3.5 on page 31 for a 
diagram of the cable gasket, cover and screws.

1. Remove the sealing plate screws (five TORX 10 [T10] screws 

and washers).

2. Carefully remove the plate and bottom half of the cable gasket. 

3. Ensure that each required cable position is correctly identified. Remove 

the peelable sections of the cable gasket until the correct cable diameter 
is obtained, and retain the sections for future use.

4. Install each required cable into its correct connector on the computer, 

and run the cable through the prepared gasket slot. Leave 1-2 cm of 
slack under the cover.

5.

Carefully replace the cable gasket, ensuring proper alignment of the 
cables that are passed through.

6.

Re-install the cover by aligning the slots at the back and securing the five 
screws and washers.
