Installing Transition Modules and Adapter Boards
Connecting Peripherals
The MVME187 mates with (optional) terminals or other peripherals 
at the EIA-232-D serial ports (marked SERIAL PORTS 1, 2, 3, and 4 
on the MVME712X transition module), parallel port, SCSI ports, 
and LAN Ethernet port, as shown in 
.
Note
Some cable(s) are not provided with the MVME712X 
module(s), and therefore are made or provided by the 
user. (Motorola recommends using shielded cables for 
all connections to peripherals to minimize radiation.)
