C1.3 LPT1 & COM2 Piggyback
Figure C1.3 illustrates the construction of the stand-alone IPB-FPE12 piggyback and the upperside
location of the J13 connector. The same mechanical construction applies to the integrated ver-
sion. Care should be taken to ensure that pin 1 of J13 on the CPU base board is linked by an
appropriate length of flex cable to pin 1 on the piggyback. To help with the orientation, the
connector flanks that are blue indicate the blue face of the flex-cable. Unmarked flanks indicate
the metallic connection of the flex-cable. Also, pin 1 has been highlighted by a red triangle.

Note:
Damage to the CPU board or the
piggyback may result if the flex cable
is positioned incorrectly. Inova will not

actions!
