Processor ports

The front side of the processor contains a lid, which can be opened by rotating the lock handle clockwise. A few ports (which are not used by Pickit) and some buttons are located under the lid. In case of a power failure while the computer is on, it will restart automatically when power is restored.

The back side of the processor contains all labeled I/O ports and the power connector, as shown below. In order to connect the processor to a power supply, use the provided IEC cable (C13).
