Diamond Point D2473 ETX Baseboard

Introduction

The D2473 is a specially designed ETX carrier board. The ETX module is fitted to the underside of the PCB. The underside of the PCB has no connectors which allows easy fitment of the assembly to an external heatsink or cold plate.

All standard ETX interfaces (apart from the LVDS) are brought out to standard PC type connectors or headers. Two additional COM ports are available which can be configured as either RS-232, RS-422 or RS-485 (i.e. in addition to the two standard serial ports that the ETX provide, which have been implemented as RS-232. Storage is provided via dual IDE headers. A Compact Flash socket is hard wired to one of these sockets.
