Regardless of which method is used, the DBK206 connects to the 100-pin P4 connector of a
DaqBook/2000 Series device, DaqBoard/2000 Series board, or a cPCI DaqBoard/2000c Series board. The
connection is made via a CA-195 cable. Note that DBK206 contains mounting holes that allow the board
to be secured inside a user-provided enclosure (not shown).
CAUTION
Turn off power to the host PC and externally connected equipment prior to connecting
cables or signal lines to the DBK. Electric shock or damage to equipment can result
even under low-voltage conditions.
Take ESD precautions (packaging, proper handling, grounded wrist strap, etc.)
Use care to avoid touching board surfaces and onboard components. Only handle
boards by their edges (or ORBs, if applicable). Ensure boards do not come into contact
with foreign elements such as oils, water, and industrial particulate.
Do not confuse connectors. Ensure that you only connect P1 I/Os to P1,
P2 I/Os to P2, and P3 I/Os to P3. Improper connection may result in equipment
damage.
The illustrations and actual board silkscreen are the only references you should need to make proper
connections.
A list of connection tips follows:
1. Ensure power is removed from the device(s) to be connected.
2. Observe ESD precautions when handling the board and making connections.
3. Do not make redundant connections. For example, for ANALOG IN you can use the P1
(DB37) connector or Terminal Blocks TB9 through TB12. You would not use both sets of
ANALOG IN connectors.

Be sure to align the P4 orientation indicators (Œ) prior to mating the P4 connectors.
4. The DBK206 100-pin P4 connector connects to the DaqBoard/2000 Series P4 connector via a
CA-195 Cable.
