Caution
When connecting periphery units, always be sure to use shielded cables and metal
connectors to avoid invalidating your operating authorization. Use a screwdriver to
fasten the interface cable connectors on the housing of the computing unit. You
will thus improve the electrical shielding.
If expansion boards are installed on the computing unit, there are additional
interfaces. Please refer to the description of the relevant module for the
significance of these additional interfaces.
