Chapter 1 General Information 1

Introduction

The PCM-5894/5892 is a Pentium single board computer with
one onboard PCI SVGA controller, one PCI Ethernet interface
and one PCI expansion slot. Equipped with a 64-bits local bus
architecture, the PCM-5894/5892 releases Pentium's full
potential and provides unprecedented performance compared to
current 32-bit processor boards. The PCM-5894/5892 offers all
the functions of an industrial computer on a single board, but fits
in the space of a 5¼" floppy drive (only 5.75" x 8"). For maximum
performance, the PCM-5894/5892 also supports a 512 KB. L2
cache onboard. An SSD interface supports one 32-pin DIP socket
for the M-Systems DiskOnChip 2000 series, memory capacity
from 2MB to 72MB.

Onboard features include four serial ports (three RS-232 and one
RS-232/422/485), one multi-mode parallel (ECP/EPP/SPP) port, one
floppy drive controller and one keyboard/PS-2 mouse interface.
The built-in high speed PCI IDE controller supports both PIO and
bus master modes. Up to two IDE devices can be connected,
including large hard disks, CD-ROM drives, tape backup drives,
and other IDE devices.

The PCM-5894/5892 also features power management to minimize
power consumption. It complies with the “Green Function”
standard and supports three types of power saving features: Doze
mode, Standby mode, and Suspend mode. In addition, the board’s
watchdog timer can automatically reset the system or generate an
interrupt in case the system stops due to a program bug or EMI.

Onboard peripherals with true PCI

performance

The PCM-5894/5892 is a highly integrated, all-in-one single board
computer. All onboard peripherals (including PCI flat panel/VGA
interface, PCI Ethernet, and PCI IDE) adopt PCI technology and
operate through an internal PCI bus. Integrating a Pentium board
with a PCI architecture has unleashed a revolutionary level of
performance. The PCM-5894/5892 is one of the smallest and
most powerful all-in-one Pentium boards available.

Setting jumpers

You configure your card to match the needs of your application by
setting jumpers. A jumper is the simplest kind of electric switch.
It consists of two metal pins and a small metal clip (often
protected by a plastic cover) that slides over the pins to connect
them. To “close” a jumper you connect the pins with the clip. To
“open” a jumper you remove the clip. Sometimes a jumper will
have three pins, labeled 1, 2, and 3. In this case you would connect
either pins 1 and 2 or 2 and 3.

Open Closed Closed 2-3

The jumper settings are schematically depicted in this manual as
follows:

A pair of needle-nose pliers may be helpful when working with
jumpers.

If you have any doubts about the best hardware configuration for
your application, contact your local distributor or sales represen­tative before you make any changes.

14 PCM-5894/5892 User Manual

CPU installing and upgrading

Y ou can upgrade to a more powerful Pentium CPU or compatible at
any time. Simply remove the old CPU, install the new one, and set
the jumpers for the new CPU type and speed.

Warning! Always disconnect the power cord from your

chassis when you are working on it. Do not
make connections while the power is on as
sensitive electronic components can be dam­aged by the sudden rush of power. Only experi­enced electronics personnel should open the PC
chassis.

Caution! Always ground yourself to remove any static

charge before touching the PC board. Modern
electronic devices are very sensitive to static
electric charges. Use a grounding wrist strap at
all times. Place all electronic components on a
static-dissipative surface or in a static-shielded
bag when they are not in the chassis.

When you install a new CPU, be sure to adjust the board settings,
such as CPU type and CPU clock. Improper settings may damage

the CPU.

Chapter 2 Installation 15

Installing DRAM (SIMMs)

The PCM-5894/5892 provides two 72-pin SIMM (Single In-line
Memory Module) sockets. The SIMM supports either Fast Page
Mode (FPM) or Extended Data Output (EDO) DRAM with a
speed of at least 70 ns. Depending on the combinations of the
modules you use, you can install from 4 MB to 128 MB of RAM.

Installing SIMMs

NOTE 1: Pentium or compatible processors adopt 64 bit data

bus. Since 72-pin SIMM can only provide 32 bit data
bus width, two SIMM modules are required as one
memory bank, and both SIMMs must be the same size
and type.

1. Ensure that all power sources are disconnected.

2. Slip the memory module into the socket at a 45 degree angle.

3. Push the module toward the vertical posts at both ends of the
socket until the module is upright and the retaining clips at
both ends of the module click into place. When positioned
correctly, the pins on top of the vertical posts should corre­spond to the circular holes on the ends of the module.

4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 for each module you install.

NOTE 2: Do not insert any SIMM module that contains more

than 24 memory chips. SIMMs contain more than 24
chips exceed the driving capability of new generation
chipsets.

IDE hard drive connector (CN11)

You can attach one or two Enhanced Integrated Device Electron­ics hard disk drives to the mainboard's internal controller. The
mainboard's IDE controller uses a PCI local-bus interface. This
advanced interface supports faster data transfer and allows the IDE
hard drive to exceed 528 MB.

Connecting the hard drive

Connecting drives is done in a daisy-chain fashion and requires
one of two cables, depending on the drive size. 1.8" and 2.5"
drives need a 1 x 44-pin to 2 x 44-pin flat-cable connector. 3.5"
drives use a 1 x 44-pin to 2 x 40-pin connect.

Wire number 1 on the cable is red or blue, and the other wires are
gray.

1. Connect one end of the cable to CN11. Make sure that the red
(or blue) wire corresponds to pin 1 on the connector, which is
labeled on the board (on the right side).

2. Plug the other end of the cable to the Enhanced IDE hard
drive, with pin 1on the cable corresponding to pin 1 on the
hard drives. (see your hard drive's documentation for the
location of the connector).

Connect a second drive as described above.
Unlike floppy drives, IDE hard drives can connect to either

end of the cable. If you install two drives, you will need to set
one as the master and one as the slave by using jumpers on the
drives. If you install just one drive, set it as the master.

Floppy drive connector (CN16)

You can attach up to two floppy disks to the mainboard controller.
Y ou can use any combination of 5¼" (360 KB and 1.2 MB) and/or
3½" (720 KB, 1.44 MB, and 2.88 MB) drives.

A 34-pin daisy-chain drive connector cable is required for a dual­drive system. On 1 end of the cable is a 34-pin flat-cable connector.
On the other end are two sets of floppy disk drive connectors. Each
set consists of a 34-pin flat-cable connector (usually used for 3½"
drives) and a printed-circuit board connector (usually used for 5¼"
drives).

Connecting the floppy drive

1 . Plug the 34-pin flat-cable connector into CN16. Make sure that

the red wire corresponds to pin 1 on the connector.

2. Attach the appropriate connector on the other end of the cable
to the floppy drive(s). You can use only one connector in the
set. The set on the end (after the twist in the cable) connects to
the A: drive. The set in the middle connects to the B: drive.

3 . If you are connecting a 5¼" floppy drive, line up the slot in the

printed circuit board with the blocked-off part of the cable
connector.

If you are connecting a 3½" floppy drive, you may have trouble
determining which pin is pin number 1. Look for a number
printed on the circuit board indicating pin number 1. Also,

the connector on the floppy drive connector may have a slot.

When the slot is up, pin number 1 should be on the right.

Check the documentation that came with the drive for more

information.

If you desire, connect the B: drive to the connectors in the
middle of the cable as described above.

CHAPTER

Award BIOS Setup

This chapter describes how to configure
the BIOS for the PCM-5894/5892.

Chapter 3 Award BIOS Setup 47

System test and initialization

These routines test and initialize board hardware. If the routines
encounter an error during the tests, you will either hear a few short
beeps or see an error message on the screen. There are two kinds
of errors: fatal and nonfatal. The system can usually continue the
boot up sequence with nonfatal errors. Nonfatal error messages
usually appear on the screen along with the following instructions:

press <F1> to RESUME

Write down the message and press the F1 key to continue the
bootup sequence.

System configuration verification

These routines check the current system configuration against the
values stored in the card’s CMOS memory. If they don’t match, the
program outputs an error message. You will then need to run the
BIOS setup program to set the configuration information in
memory.

There are three situations in which you will need to change the
CMOS settings:

1 . You are starting your system for the first time.

2. You have changed the hardware attached to your system.
3 . The CMOS memory has lost power and the configuration

information has been erased.

The PCM-5894/5892's CMOS memory has a lithium battery backup.

When this item is enabled, the A ward BIOS will monitor the boot
sector and partition table of the hard disk drive for any modification
attempts. If an attempt is made, the BIOS will halt the system and
the following error message will appear. Afterwards, you can run
an anti-virus program to locate and remove the problem before any

CPU Internal Cache/External Cache

These two categories, if enabled, can speed up memory access.
However, it depends on the CPU/chipset design.

Quick Power On Self Test

This category speeds up Power On Self T est (POST) after you
power up the computer. If it is set to Enabled, BIOS will shorten or
skip some check items during POST .

Boot Sequence

This category determines which drive to search first for the
operating system.

Swap Floppy Drive

This item allows you to swap the floppy drive assignments so that
drive A is treated as drive B and drive B is treated as drive A under
DOS. The default setting is Disabled.

Boot Up Floppy Seek

During POST , the BIOS will determine if the floppy disk drive
installed is 40 or 80 tracks. 360KB type is 40 tracks while 760KB,

1.2MB, and 1.44MB are all 80 tracks.

Boot Up NumLock Status

This allows you to determine the default state of the numeric
keypad on an IBM-compatible extended keyboard.

Boot Up System Speed

This allows you to determine the Boot Up Speed. The choices are
High/Low.

Chapter 3 Award BIOS Setup 55

Gate A20 Option

This entry allows you to select how gate A20 is handled. Gate A20
is a device used to address memory above 1 MB. Initially, gate A20
was handled via a pin on the keyboard. Today keyboards still
provide this support, however it is more common and much faster
for the system chipset to provide support for gate A20. The
choices are thus: Normal and Fast.

Security Option

This category allows you to limit access to the system. The
choices are System: which requires a password at boot up and
Setup: which only requires a password to access the setup utility.

Video BIOS Shadow

Determines whether the video display card BIOS will be copied into
system DRAM in order to increase display speed and is required
for system performance. However, it is optional depending on the
chipset design. The default setting is Enabled.

Shadowing Address Ranges

The next six lines, from C8000-CBFFF Shadow to DC000-DFFFF
Shadow are address ranges for shadowing other expansion card
ROMs. If there are any expansion cards with ROMs installed in
your system, you have to know the address range they use in order
to shadow them specifically. The default setting for all of these is
Disabled.

AT clock, DRAM timings ....

This section allows you to configure the system based on the
specific features of the installed chipset. This chipset manages bus
speeds and access to system memory resources, such as DRAM
and the external cache. It also coordinates communications
between the conventional ISA bus and the PCI bus. It must be
stated that these items should never need to be altered. The
default settings have been chosen because they provide the best
operating conditions for your system. The only time you might
consider making any changes would be if you discovered that data
was being lost while using your system.

Because of the complexity and technical nature of some of the
options, not all of the options are described here.

Set this item to Enabled to pre-defined values for DRAM, cache
timing according to CPU type & system clock. Thus, each item
value may display differently depending on your system configura­tions.

When this item is enabled, the pre-defined items will become
SHOW-ONL Y .

58 PCM-5894/5892 User Manual

NA# Enable

This item allows you to select between two methods of chipset
NA# asserted during CPU write cycle/CPU line fills, Enabled and
Disabled.

RAS Precharge Time

DRAM must continually be refreshed or it will lose its data.
Normally, DRAM is refreshed entirely as the result of a single
request. This option allows you to determine the number of CPU
clocks allocated for the Row Address Strobe to accumulate its
charge before the DRAM is refreshed. If insufficient time is
allowed, refresh may be incomplete and data lost.

RAS to CAS Delay

When DRAM is refreshed, both rows and columns are addressed
separately . This setup item allows you to determine the timing of
the transition from Row Address Strobe (RAS) to Column Address
Strobe (CAS).

CPU to PCI Post Write

Set this option to Enabled to give priority to posted messages from
the CPU to PCI bus.

CPU to PCI Burst Men_WR

Set this option to Enabled to allow write instructions to be com­bined in PCI burst mode. The settings are Enabled or Disabled.

ISA Bus Clock Frequency

This item allows you to select the ISA bus clock PCICLK/3 OR
PCICLK/4.

System BIOS Cacheable

When enabled, accesses to the system BIOS ROM addressed at
F0000H-FFFFFH are cached, provided that the cache controller is
enabled.

Chapter 3 Award BIOS Setup 59

Video BIOS Cacheable

As with caching the System BIOS above, enabling the Video BIOS
cache will cause access to video BIOS addressed at C0000H to
C7FFFH to be cached, if the cache controller is also enabled.

Memory Hole at 15M-16M

In order to improve performance, certain space in memory can be
reserved for ISA cards. The memory must be mapped into the
memory space below 16 MB.

Boot ROM Function

This item allows you to set the Enabled or Disabled Ethernet Boot
ROM function.

Power Management

Power management lets you set up your computer to save electrici­ty when it is not actively in use by putting the system into progres­sively greater power saving modes. In the power management
scheme there are four system states which proceed in the following
sequence:

Normal à Doze à Standby à Suspend

62 PCM-5894/5892 User Manual

There are four selections for Power Management (PM):

Disabled Turns off PM
Max Saving Maximized power saving by activating maxi-

mum power saving settings after one minute of
system inactivity.

Min Saving Produces less power saving by activating

moderate power saving settings after one hour
of system inactivity.

User Defined You set the power saving options manually.

With the exception of Disabled, three of the above selections have
"fixed-mode" settings. Therefore, when PM is set to Disabled,
some items which are predefined will become unmodifiable.

PM Control by APM

When this is set to Yes, the Advanced Power Management feature
in Microsoft Windows controls power management operation. The
default setting is No.

Video Off Option

User can select 4 different modes for turning off the video. The
modes are a function of the PM mode of the computer. The choices
are All ModesàOff, Always On, SuspendàOff, and Susp, St-

byàOff.

The table below summarizes the behavior of the monitor in relation
to the four PM modes.

PM Mode Monitor Behavior

All Modes Off

- Always On
Suspend Off

Susp, Stby Off

For example, if you choose SuspendàOff, then the monitor will turn
off if the computer is in the Suspend PM mode.

Chapter 3 Award BIOS Setup 63

Video Off Method

This governs monitor power saving by controlling how power
management blanks the monitor screen. The default setting blanks
the screen and turns off vertical and horizontal scanning and
requires a monitor with "green" features. If you don't have this
type of monitor, use the Blank option. DPMS (Display Power
Management System) allows the BIOS to control the video display
card if the card has the DPMS feature.

V/H SYNC+Blank (Default)

BLANK (non-green monitor, less saving)
DPMS (Display card must support DPMS)

Modem Use IRQ

If you have a modem installed in your system, you can enter which
IRQ it is using so that APM can control it.

Hot Key SMI

This allows the user to use the <CTL-AL T-BACK SP ACE> hot key
to enter the Suspend mode. Press any key to wake up the comput­er. The default setting is Disabled.

64 PCM-5894/5892 User Manual

HDD Off After

When enabled and after the selected time of system inactivity , the
hard disk drive will be powered down while all other devices will
remain active.

Doze Mode

This sets the period of system inactivity after which the system
goes into Doze mode, the most limited power saving state. The
settings range from 20 seconds to 40 minutes and can be set
manually when power management is in User Define mode. The
default setting is Disabled. When the system goes into power
saving mode, power management will skip to the next mode in the
sequence if this is disabled.

Standby Mode

This sets the period of system inactivity after which the system
goes into Standby mode, the intermediate power saving state. The
settings range from 20 seconds to 40 minutes and can be set
manually when power management is in User Define mode. The
default setting is Disabled. When the system goes into power
saving mode, power management will skip to the next mode in the
sequence if this is disabled.

Suspend Mode

This sets the period of system inactivity after which the system
goes into Suspend mode, the maximum power saving state. The
settings range from 20 seconds to 40 minutes and can be set
manually when power management is in User Define mode. The
default setting is Disabled. When the system goes into power
saving mode, power management will skip to the next mode in the
sequence if this is disabled.

Chapter 3 Award BIOS Setup 65

PM Events

PM events are I/O events whose occurrence can prevent the
system from entering a power saving mode or can awaken the
system from such a mode. In effect, the system remains alert for
anything which occurs to a device which is configured as Enabled,
even when the system is in a power down mode.

When an I/O device wants to gain the attention of the operating
system, it signals this by causing an IRQ (Interrupt ReQuest) to
occur. When the operating system is ready to respond to the
request, it interrupts itself and performs the service. The following
is a list of IRQs, which can be disabled:

• COM Ports Activity

• LPT Ports Activity

• HDD Ports Activity

• VGA Activity

• IRQ3 (COM 2)

• IRQ4 (COM 1)

• IRQ5 (LPT 2)

• IRQ6 (Floppy Disk)

• IRQ7 (LPT 1)

• IRQ8 (RTC Alarm)

• IRQ9 (IRQ2 Redir)

• IRQ10 (Reserved)

• IRQ11 (Reserved)

• IRQ12 (PS/2 Mouse)

• IRQ13 (Coprocessor)

• IRQ14 (Hard Disk)

These items allow you to determine the IRQ/DMA assigned to the
ISA bus and is not available to any PCI slot.

PCI IRQ Activated By

This sets the method by which the PCI bus recognizes that an IRQ
service is being requested by a device. Under all circumstances,
you should retain the default configuration unless advised by your
system manufacturer. The choices are Level/Edge.

PCI IDE IRQ Map To

This allows you to configure your system to the type of IDE disk
controller in use. The more apparent difference is the type of slot
being used.

If you have equipped your system with a PCI controller, changing
this allows you to specify which slot has the controller and which
PCI interrupt (A, B, C, D) is associated with the connected hard
drives.

This setting refers to the hard disk drive itself, rather than individu­al partitions.

Selecting PCI Auto allows the system to automatically determine
how your IDE disk system is configured.

LOAD BIOS DEF AUL TS loads the default system values directly
from ROM. The BIOS DEF AUL TS provides the most stable
settings, though they do not provide optimal performance. LOAD
SETUP DEF AUL TS, on the other hand, provides for maximum
system performance. If the stored record created by the setup
utility becomes corrupted (and therefore unusable), BIOS defaults
will load automatically when you turn the PCM-5894/5892 on.

Drivers and Utilities

(For PCM-5894 only)

This chapter provides information about:

• Driver types and installation

Chapter 4 Driver Installation 81

Software drivers

This chapter describes the operation and installation of the software
drivers supplied on the Display Driver Diskettes that are shipped
with your VGA adapter.

Your VGA adapter is based on the CHIPS VGA Flat Panel/CRT
controller and is fully IBM VGA compatible. This controller offers a
large set of extended functions and higher resolutions. If you intend
to use your VGA adapter in standard VGA mode only , you do not need
to install any of these drivers. Since your VGA adapter is fully
compatible, it does not require any special drivers to operate in
standard modes.

The purpose of the enclosed software drivers is to take advantage of
the extended features of the CHIPS VGA Flat Panel/CRT controller.

Hardware configuration

Some of the high-resolution drivers provided in this package will work
only in certain system configurations. If a driver does not display
correctly , try the following:

1 . Change the display controller to CRT-only mode, rather than flat

panel or simultaneous display mode. Some high-resolution drivers
will display correctly only in CRT mode.

2. If a high-resolution mode is not supported on your system, try
using a lower-resolution mode. For example, 1024 x 768 mode will
not work on some systems, but 800 x 600 mode is supported on
most.

82 PCM-5894/5892 User Manual

Necessary prerequisites

The instructions in this manual assume that you understand elementa­ry concepts of MS-DOS and the IBM Personal Computer. Before you
attempt to install any driver or utility, you should:

• Know how to copy files from a CD-ROM to a directory on the hard
disk

• Understand the MS-DOS directory structure

If you are uncertain about any of these concepts, please refer to the
DOS or OS/2 user reference guides for more information before you
proceed with the installation.

Before you begin

Make sure you know the version of the application for which you are
installing drivers. The Supporting CD-ROM contain drivers for several
versions of certain applications. For your driver to operate properly ,
you must install the driver for your version of the application program.
