External Power Connector (P8)
The external connector provides 5V to the power regulation circuitry. In addition, the power
connector enables the 3.3V regulator and provides VIO to the PCI Bridge.
The external power connector should only be used when the FreeForm/PCI-104 is being
programmed out side of a PCI / PCI-104 system.

It is recommended that a Connect Tech Inc. FreeForm/PCI-104 power supply is used. Orientation
of the power supply connector is important. Ensure that the clip on the cable aligns with the catch
on P8, as shown below.
