Connecting Signals

1. Connect your chassis to a power source as described in the chassis getting started documentation.
2. Connect serial devices and ECUs as required for your application.
   • Deserializer interface adapter module: connect serial devices to the carrier serial input (SI) connectors using a FAKRA cable.
   • Serializer interface adapter module: connect ECUs to the carrier serial output (SO) connectors using a FAKRA cable.
   Note The coaxial connectors on serial input devices and on serial out devices are physically identical. The name of the interface adapter module is on its front panel. Use the interface adapter module name to differentiate between input interface adapter modules and output interface adapter modules.

   Notice Do not plug or unplug devices while power over coax is enabled on serial channels. Doing so might damage your device. Before plugging and unplugging a device, always set the power over coax to disabled. Wait for the power to be fully disabled.
3. Connect the terminal blocks included in your kit to the AUX power connectors on the carrier.
4. (Optional) Connect the power sink or power source to the AUX power connector as required for your application.
   • Deserializer device or SerDes device: connect a copper wire from the power source to the corresponding serial input channel pin on the AUX power connector. Doing so allows you to supply external power. If you do not connect an external power source, you can power devices that are connected to the carrier with the chassis backplane.
   • Serializer device or SerDes device: connect a copper wire from the power sink to the corresponding serial output channel pin on the AUX power connector. Doing so allows you to simulate an additional load.
   Note AUX power connector pins map to serial input and serial output connectors one to one.
