2.4 Setting Jumpers

You may configure your card to match the needs of your application by setting jump­ers. A jumper is a metal bridge used to close an electric circuit. 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.

PCM-3362 User Manual 10

FORVHGFORVHGRSHQ

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

Chapter 2 Hardware Installation

Open

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. Generally, you
simply need a standard cable to make most connections.

2.4.1 Clear CMOS (JP1)

The PCM-3362 single board computer contains a jumper that can erase CMOS data
and reset the system BIOS information. Normally this jumper should be set with pins
1-2 closed. If you want to reset the CMOS data, set CMOS1 to 2-3 closed for just a
few seconds, and then move the jumper back to 1-2 closed. This procedure will reset
the CMOS to its default setting.

Warning! To avoid damaging the computer, always turn off the power supply

before clearing CMOS.

2.4.4 PCI I/O Voltage Select (JP4)

The PCI Host board will always determine the PCI signaling level on the bus by set­ting all VI/O pins to either 3.3 V or 5 V. If VI/0 is set to 3.3 V, then the system will use

3.3 V I/O signaling, likewise, if VI/O is set to 5 V, then the system will use 5 V I/O sig­naling. Some PCI host modules may only allow one of the options, while others may
provide a jumper to allow the user to select the signaling level. Once the signaling
level is selected, the remaining boards in the system must use that signaling level.

2.5 Installing SODIMMs

The procedures for installing SODIMMs are described below. Please follow these
steps carefully. You can install SDRAM memory modules using 200-pin SODIMMs

(Small Outline Dual In-line Memory Modules).

1. Ensure that all power supplies to the system are switched off.

2. Tilt the SODIMM card just above the board and slide it into the housing card

slot.

3. Push the module into the socket until the module gently snaps in. There should

only be a slight insertion force to engage the module into the contacts. Make
sure that the module and the housing are aligned and locked in place.

2.6 Flash

The board provides onboard NAND Flash memory to replace CF socket. NANDriv-

TM

integrated circuits (IC) are high-performance, fully-integrated, embedded flash

e
solid state drives. They combine an integrated ATA Controller in a multi-chip pack­age. These products are ideal for industrial grade solid state mass storage applica­tions offering new and expanded functionality while enabling cost effective designs.

PCM-3362 User Manual 12

PCM-3362 supports 2GB industrial grade NAND NANDriveTM IC and up to 4GB for
option. Flash endurance is about 100 Million write cycles. Data Retention is about 10

TM

Years. PCM-3362’s NANDrive
in wide temperature range of -40°C to +85°C for industrial operation.

2.7 High Definition Audio Interface (CN1)

The PCM-3362 provides high definition audio interface. It can support high definition
audio stereo by customized audio module that has codec onboard or by Advantech’s
PCA-AUDIO-HDA1E module through specific cable.

2.8 VGA/LCD interface connections

The PCM-3362’s VGA interface can drive conventional CRT displays and is capable
of driving a wide range of LVDS flat panel displays. The board has two connectors to
support these displays: one for standard CRT VGA monitors, one for LVDS type LCD
panels.

2.8.1 CRT display connector (CN8)

CN8 is a 12-pin, dual-inline header used for conventional CRT displays. A simple
one-to-one adapter can be used to match CN8 to a standard 15-pin D-SUB connec­tor commonly used for VGA. Users can drive a standard progressive scan analog
monitor with pixel resolution up to SXGA 1400 x 1060 @ 60Hz. Pin assignments for

3 AMI BIOS Setup

AMIBIOS has been integrated into many motherboards for over a decade. With the
AMIBIOS Setup program, you can modify BIOS settings and control the various sys­tem features. This chapter describes the basic navigation of the PCM-3362 BIOS
setup screens.

Figure 3.1 Setup program initial screen

AMI’s BIOS ROM has a built-in Setup program that allows users to modify the basic
system configuration. This information is stored in battery-backed CMOS so it retains
the Setup information when the power is turned off.

3.1 Entering Setup

Turn on the computer and check for the “patch” code. If there is a number assigned to
the patch code, it means that the BIOS supports your CPU. If there is no number
assigned to the patch code, please contact an Advantech application engineer to
obtain an up-to-date patch code file. This will ensure that your CPU’s system status is
valid. After ensuring that you have a number assigned to the patch code, press
<DEL> and you will immediately be allowed to enter Setup.

3.2 Main Setup

When you first enter the BIOS Setup Utility, you will encounter the Main setup screen.
You can always return to the Main setup screen by selecting the Main tab. There are
two Main Setup options. They are described in this section. The Main BIOS Setup
screen is shown below.
