Model 743 and Model 744 VME Board Computers
RAM Cards
MB cards, the 128 MB and 256 MB cards must be installed into the lowest numbered mem-

LED Displays
Model 743 and 744 VME Board Computers have two LEDs that indicate various system
functions: a system failure LED and a functional LED. See Table 1-11.

I/O Controller ASIC
I/O control by the system board's I/O controller ASIC includes the following interfaces:
• Audio
• AUI LAN
• HP Parallel
• PS/2 Ports 0 and 1
• RS-232 Port A
• Single-Ended SCSI
• Speaker
The battery-backed real-time clock is also implemented in the I/O controller ASIC.
The connectors for the system board's built-in interfaces are on the front panel. Most use
micro-miniature connectors that require special conversion cables in order to use standard
interface cables.
