;X9
:These are the power and holding brake output connector for Z (lower) and A (upper) axis motors 
;X10

;IONI_X, IONI_Y, IONI_Z, IONI_A
:Card-edge connectors for IONI drives
{{damage|Before inserting or removing IONI drives from IONICUBE, remove all power from it and discharge it's capacitors. To discharge remaining energy (~voltage) from capacitors, short circuit GND to HV+ by a conductor and measure that there is no DC voltage left between GND and HV+ terminals. Even few volts left to [[HV DC bus]] is known to cause permanent damage to IONICUBE when drives are plugged.}}

==Front side connectors==
Front side connectors consist X6, X7, X8 and X9. These connectors are the interface towards motors (motor power and [[feedback devices]]).

{{tip|An easy way to verify correctness of two phase '''stepper''' connection: unplug the 6 pin connector and then measure resistance between phases 1-2 and 3-4. Multimeter should show the same resistance for both cases (typically 0.1 - 5 ohms). Also when measuring between phases 1-3, 1-4, 2-3 and 2-4, the multimeter should indicate open circuit.}}

{{info|In case of single-ended encoder, connect encoder's A, B, Z only to drive's A+, B+ and C+ and leave drive's A-, B- and C- unconnected.}}
{{info|With differential Hall sensor (which provides U+, U-, V+, V-, W+ and W-, connect only sensor's U+, V+ and W+ to drive's HALL_U/V/W. }}
{{info|Never connect sensor negative outputs (A-/B-/C-/U-/V-/W-) to GND. Connect them to drive's A-/B-/C- or leave unconnected.}}
{{tip|Feedback devices with [[differential signaling]] may use varying naming schemes of signal pairs. For example differential signal X (which contains two electrical wires) may be denoted as: X+ and X-, or X and \X or X and {{overline|X}}. In this Wiki we mark them X+ and X-. Some Fanuc encoders have quadrature signals named as PCA, /PCA, PCB, /PCB, PCZ and /PCZ which are equivalent to A, B and Z signal pairs.}}

{{damage|Do now wire SimpleMotion V2 ports with [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethernet_crossover_cable crossover RJ45 cables (see details)]. Always use straight/non-crossover patch cables. If unsure about what is the type of your RJ45 cable, don't use it.}}
