What's this?

This is a collection of pinouts that I've gathered over the years and umpteen hours of buzzing out cables. 

 

 

In general, holding the connector in your hand, tab side down, open end towards you, and insert the stripped cable with the *blue* wire on the left, except for RJ11 4-wire connectors, which has *yellow* on the left.

Mini-DIN-8 serial port connectors are found on the Personal IRIS 4D/30, 4D/35, Indigo, Indy, and Indigo2. They are also found on the Origin 200 and Origin 2000 systems, used for the MMSC/System controller ("Aux") port. The pin assignments are:
                   ---------
                  / 8  7  6 \
                 (  5  4  3  )

Since there is no such thing as a RJ-MiniDIN-8 adaptor, an SGI P/N X5-9to8 pigtail is used to give a female DB9 on systems with Mini-DIN-8 connectors.
Mini-DIN-6 P/S2 keyboard connectors are found on Indigo, Indigo2, Indy, O2, Octane, and Onyx systems. Note that Indigo systems use the same connector but a different pinout -- see below for that pinout. The pin assignments for the system keyboard connector are shown in the following table:
                         ------
                        / 5 3  \

Mini-DIN-6 keyboard connectors are found on Indigo, Indigo2, Indy, O2, Octane, and Onyx systems. This pinout is for Indigo systems which _is not_ P/S2 compatible. The pin assignments for the Indigo keyboard connector are shown in the following table:
                         ------

Older SGI systems used a DB15 connector for the keyboard and mouse, with either a DIN6 or DB9 connector at the keyboard end. Here's the pinouts for the DB15-DIN6 cable:
	DB15 Male	DIN 6		Signal/Signal
	---------	-----		-------------

SGI P/S2 Keyboard and Mouse to RJ45 plug, using (2) mini-din6 connectors to (1) RJ45 plug.
Use to extend mouse & keyboard connections with RJ45 cable. ONLY for SGI systems that have P/S 2 compatible ports (Indy, Indigo2, O2, etc).

This is a "Y" cable; two mini-din6 connectors are wired to one RJ45 plug. A pair of adaptors is needed, one mini-din6 female set, and one mini-din6 male set. Custom made by Anixter 408/435-1212

    8 (CTS) ---------->5 (CTS)                                   

Most Challenge L and XL systems have a front panel System Controller DB9 available. However, early systems were not shipped with the front plate to present a female DB9. There may be a small ribbon cable with an IDC end (edge row connector) available behind the access panel; if not, you'll have to take the back skins and panel off (where the power cord plugs in) to get access to the IDC socket off the backplane. Anyway, here are the pinouts for the IDC connector:
idc 8x2		db9
2  (td)		3	rd
10 (rd)		2	td
13 (gd)		7	gnd						

Annex 2 Connectors

An Annex 2 uses standard telco (PBX) 50 pin connectors. (Centronics 50 pin connector). Each connector holds eight (8) terminal lines, like so:
   PBX #      Signal
   -----      ------
   1           DTR
   2           GND
   3           N/C
   26          TXD
   27          RXD
   28          CTS

Modular adapters (Ortronics' P/N OR-8120M25-8/6) are used to adapt the 50pin PBX connector to eight (8) six pin RJ45 plugs. Each 6 pin RJ45 plug has the following pinout:
   RJ45		PBX #       Signal
   -----	-----       ------
   1		28          CTS
   2		27          RXD
   3		1           DTR
   4		26          TXD
   5		2           GND
   6		3           N/C					        
Connecting a 6 conductor straight through RJ45 data cable from this plug to a standard RJ45 to DB-style connector (see above) yields the following colour / signal table. THIS IS THE IMPORTANT TABLE!
   RJ45 #	DB Colour	Signal
   ------       -----           ------
   1		Blue		USED FOR 8 PIN CONNECTIONS ONLY
   2		Orange		CTS
   3		Black		RXD
   4		Red		DTR
   5		Green		TXD
   6		Yellow		GND
   7		Brown		N/C
   8	        White		USED FOR 8 PIN CONNECTION ONLY	        

The console connection for an Annex 2 is on port 1. Use one of the below connectors to hook it up to the desired gadget.

and the Annex end into the Annex.					

SGI "Etherlite" terminal servers are remarketed products from Central Data Systems. They are 8, 16, or 32 port ethernet based serial ports, connected "directly" to the SGI host system via a kernel driver and some system daemons -- they give normal looking devices as /dev/tty[mdf][\d][\d+]. You need the 'el_serial' inst package installed to use these servers. Good additional information on the drivers is at

 http://www.digi.com.

SGI cables, using rj45 connectors.

Using straight-through 8-pin RJ45 cables and the various pinouts listed in this section, it is possible to mix-and-match the connectors to what is needed. Connect two "modem" adaptors (one DB25 Male for the modem, one DB9 Male for the SGI) for a modem cable, or exchange one "modem" adaptor for a "null" adaptor to create a null modem cable to connect a terminal to an SGI, or two SGI systems back-to-back. Since there is no such thing as a RJ-MiniDIN-8 adaptor, an SGI P/N X5-9to8 pigtail is used to give a female DB9 on systems with Mini-DIN-8 connectors.

=============================================== --->

MIDI Interface Bus; [Musical Instrument Digital Interface]: defines the electrical and physical interface over a 5-pin
MIDI also defines the protocol used over the interface.

The MIDI interface uses three different pinouts which are all defined on a 5-pin DIN connector; MIDI In, MIDI Out, and MIDI Thru.
