Chapter 1 General Information 1

Introduction

The PCM-4862 is an enhanced, all-in-one single board 486 computer with an on-board Ethernet interface, local-bus SVGA controller and solid state disk. The PCM-4862 offers all the functions of an AT-compatible industrial computer on a single board, but it fits in the space of a 5¼" floppy drive (only 5.75" x 8"). For maximum performance, the PCM-4862 also supports 2nd level cache sizes from 128 KB to 512 KB (32 KB x 8, 64 KB x 8, or 128 KB x 8).

On-board features include two serial ports (RS-232 and RS-232/ 422/485), one parallel port, an enhanced IDE hard-drive controller (for up to two drives), a floppy-drive controller and a keyboard/PS/ 2 mouse interface. The board's watchdog timer can automatically reset the system or generate an interrupt if it stops due to a program bug or EMI problem.

An on-board solid state disk (SSD) emulates a floppy drive using EPROM or Flash memory devices. You access the SSD using standard DOS commands or BIOS I/O. The system can even boot from the SSD. Disk capacity is up to 1.44 MB, depending on the size of the memory chips. If you use Flash memory, you can read and write to the disk just like a floppy. If you use EPROM, the disk is read-only and you must program the chips with an EPROM programmer.

The PCM-4862 also complies with the "Green Function" standard and supports three types of power saving features: Doze mode, Standby mode, and Suspend mode.

All display and Ethernet configuration is done through software. A single Flash chip holds the system BIOS, VGA BIOS and the network boot ROM image. This minimizes the number of chips and eases configuration. You can change the display BIOS or install a boot ROM simply by programming the Flash chip.

If you need any additional functions, you can add up to six industry-standard PC/104 expansion modules. For those who require special functions, we have developed a PC/104 to ISA adaptor so you can use your standard ISA card.

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. T o “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.

12 PCM-4862 User's Manual

Safety precautions

Warning! Always completely disconnect the power cord

from your chassis whenever you are working on it. Do not make connections while the power is on because 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 CPU card. 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.

Installing the CPU

The PCM-4862 all-in-one CPU module supports most 486 CPUs. The system's performance depends on the CPU you choose. You can install or upgrade the CPU in the board's PGA socket by following the procedures outlined below . If your system has an existing CPU, you need to remove it before installing the new CPU.

Removing a CPU

1. Disconnect power from the chassis, and unplug all connections to the CPU card. Then, remove the CPU card from the chassis by following the instructions in the user's manual for your chassis.

2 . Lift the CPU out of the PGA socket. The old chip may be

difficult to remove. Y ou may find spray chip lubricant, designed for pin-grid-array (PGA) devices, and a chip puller helpful. These are available at electronics hobbyists' supply stores.

Chapter 2 Installation 13

Installing a CPU

T o install the CPU, follow the instructions that came with it. If no documentation was provided, the general procedures for installing a CPU are outlined below:

1 . Lubricate the pins on the CPU with lubricant for PGA devices.

This makes the CPU slide in much easier and greatly reduces the chance of damaging the pins and other components.

2 . Carefully align the CPU so that it is parallel to the socket. Make

sure that the notch on the corner of the CPU matches the notch on the inside of the socket.

3 . Gently push the CPU into the socket. There will probably be a

small gap between the CPU and the socket even when it is fully seated. DO NOT USE EXCESSIVE FORCE!

When you install a new CPU, you may have to adjust other settings on the board, such as CPU type, CPU clock, and PCI speed, to accommodate it. Make sure that the settings are correct for your CPU. Improper settings may damage the CPU.

Installing DRAM (SIMMs)

Y ou can install anywhere from 1 MB to 32 MB of on-board DRAM memory using 1, 2, 4, 8 or 16 MB 72-pin SIMMs (Single In-Line Memory Modules). Access time should be 70 nsec. or less.

Memory installs in two banks composed of one SIMM socket each. The banks are designated as Bank0 and Bank1. See the figure on page 11 for help identifying the banks. It supports both single and dual insertion

Installing SIMMs

NOTE: The modules can only fit into a socket one way.

Their chips must face the CPU , and their gold pins must point down into the SIMM socket.

The procedure for installing SIMMs appears below. Please follow these steps carefully.

1 . Ensure that all power supplies to the system are switched Off. 2 . Locate the board's memory banks, shown in the figure on

page 11.

3. Install the SIMM cards. Install each SIMM so that its chips face away from the CPU and its gold pins point down into the SIMM socket.

4 . Slip each SIMM into a socket at a 45 degree angle and carefully

fit the bottom of the card against the connectors.

5 . Gently push the SIMM into a perpendicular position until the

clips on the ends of the SIMM sockets snap into place.

6. Check to ensure that each SIMM is correctly seated and all connector contacts touch. The SIMM should not move around in its socket.

IDE hard drive connector (CN12)

The built-in Enhanced IDE (Integrated Device Electronics) controller supports up to two IDE devices, including CD-ROM drives, tape backup drives, a large hard disk drive and other IDE devices. It also supports faster data transfer rates and allows the IDE hard disk 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 connector.

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

1 . Connect one end of the cable to CN12. 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 1 on the cable corresponding to pin 1 on the hard drive. (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.

Chapter 2 Installation 19

Floppy drive connector (CN15)

You can attach up to two floppy disks to the PCM-4862's on-board controller. You 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 one 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 CN15. Make sure that

the red wire corresponds to pin one 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 one. Look for a number printed on the circuit board indicating pin number one. Also, the connector on the floppy drive connector may have a slot. When the slot is up, pin number one 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.

If you need to make your own cable, you can find the pin assignments for the card’s connector in Appendix C.

Parallel port connector (CN16)

Normally, the parallel port is used to connect the card to a printer. The PCM-4862 includes an on-board parallel port, accessed through CN16, a 26-pin flat-cable connector. You will need an adapter cable if you use a traditional DB-25 connector. The cable has a 26-pin connector on one end and a DB-25 connector on the other.

Parallel port IRQ

The PCM-4862 supports one parallel port. The port is designated as LPT1 and can be disabled or changed to LPT2 or LPT3 in the system BIOS setup.

Keyboard and PS/2 connector (CN9)

The PCM-4862 board provides a keyboard connector which supports both a keyboard and a PS/2 style mouse. In most cases, especially in embedded applications, a keyboard is not used. The standard PC/A T BIOS will report an error or fail during power-on self test (POST) after a reset if the keyboard is not present. The PCM-4862's BIOS standard setup menu allows you to select "All, But Keyboard" under the "Halt On" selection. This allows nokeyboard operation in embedded system applications without the system halting under POST (power-on-self-test).

Chapter 2 Installation 21

Front panel connector (CN4)

Next you may want to install external switches to monitor and control the PCM-4862. These features are completely optional — install them only if you need them. The front panel connector (CN4) is an 8-pin male, dual in-line header and provides connections for a speaker, hard disk access indicator and an input switch for resetting the card.

Speaker

The PCM-4862 can drive an 8 Ω speaker at 0.5 watts. Ensure that alternatives to this specification do not overload the card.

LED interface

The front panel LED indicator for hard disk access is an active low signal (24 mA sink rate).

Reset switch

If you install a reset switch, it should be a open single pole switch. Momentarily pressing the switch will activate a reset. The switch should be rated for 10 mA, 5 V .

If you need to make your own cable, you can find the pin assignments for the card’s connector in Appendix C.

Serial ports (CN13, CN8)

The PCM-4862 offers two serial ports: one RS-232 and one RS-232/ 422/485. These ports let you connect to serial devices (a mouse, printers, etc.) or a communication network.

COM1 RS-232 port (CN13)

The serial port connectors are mounted on the bottom edge of the card. The 10-pin, dual-in-line, male header to the right of the card is the RS-232 port.

COM2 RS-232/422/485 selection (CN8)

The secondary port, to the left of COM1, consists of a 14-pin, dualin-line, male header and can be configured to operate in RS-232, RS422, or RS-485 mode. This is done via J32.

VGA interface connections

The PCM-4862's SVGA interface can drive conventional CRT displays and is capable of driving a wide range of flat panel displays, including electroluminescent (EL), gas plasma, passive LCD and active LCD displays. The card has two connectors to support these displays, one for standard CRT VGA monitors and one for flat panel displays.

CRT display connector (CN1)

CN1 is a 16-pin, dual-in-line header used for conventional CRT displays. A simple one-to-one adapter can be used to match CN1 to a standard 15-pin D-SUB connector commonly used for VGA.

Pin assignments for CRT display connector CN1 are detailed in Appendix C.

Flat panel display connector (CN2)

CN2 consists of a 44-pin, dual-in-line header. Power supplies (+12 V) present on CN2 depend the supply connected to the board. Ensure that CN11 is connected for +12 V power supply .

The PCM-4862 provides a bias control signal on CN2 which can be used to control the LCD bias voltage. It is recommended that the LCD bias voltage not be applied to the panel until the logic supply voltage (+5 V) and panel video signals are stable. Under normal operation the control signal (ENAVEE) is active high. When the PCM-4862's power is applied, the control signal is low until just after the relevant flat panel signals are present.

Configuration of the VGA interface is done completely via the software utility . You don't have to set any jumpers. Refer to Chapter 3 for software setup details.

Refer to Chapter 3 for details on connecting the four standard LCD's: Sharp LM64183P , T oshiba L TM09C016, Sharp 64C142, and Planor EL Display .

Ethernet configuration

The PCM-4862 is equipped with a high performance 16-bit Ethernet interface which is fully compliant with IEEE 802.3 10Mbps CSMA/ CD standards. It is supported by all major network operating systems and is 100% Novell NE-2000 compatible.

Configuration of the Ethernet is very easy and can be done via the RSET8019.EXE program included on the utility disk. This program enables you to: view the current Ethernet configuration, to reconfigure the Ethernet interface (IRQ, I/O address, etc.), and to execute useful diagnostic functions. (See Chapter 3 for detailed information)

The RSET8019.EXE program provides two ways to configure the Ethernet interface. Configuration can be done automatically when you choose PNP (plug and play) option; or, when you choose the Jumperless option, the following IRQ and I/O address settings are available.

10BASE-2/10BASE-5 AUI connector (CN7)

10BASE-2 and 10BASE-5 coax connections are made via an attachment unit interface or AUI (CN7). This consists of a 16-pin, dual-in-line male header.

Chapter 2 Installation 25

10BASE-T connector (CN10)

10BASE-T connects to the PCM-4862 via an adapter cable to a 10pin polarized header (CN10). For 10BASE-T RJ-45 operation, an adapter cable converting CN10 into a standard RJ-45 jack is required.

Network boot

The Network Boot feature can be utilized by incorporating the Boot ROM image files for the appropriate network operating system. The Boot ROM BIOS files are available from your supplier. They can be programmed into the BIOS, similar to the VGA BIOS file, using the A WDFLASH.EXE program detailed in Chapter 3.

Watchdog timer configuration

An on-board watchdog timer reduces the chance of disruptions which EMP (electro-magnetic pulse) interference can cause. This is an invaluable protective device for standalone or unmanned applications. Setup involves two jumpers and running the control software (refer to Appendix A).

Watchdog timer enable/disable

You can enable or disable the watchdog timer by reading the card's I/O ports with your program. Read address 443 hex to enable and refresh the watchdog or address 043 to disable the watchdog. For information on programming the watchdog timer see Appendix A.

Watchdog timer action (J23, J24)

When the watchdog timer activates (CPU processing has come to a halt), it can reset the system or generate an interrupt on IRQ15. This can be set via two 2-pin jumpers (J23, J24) as shown below:

Solid State Disk Configuration

This section will explain the function and configuration of the jumpers necessary for the operation of the PCM-4862's solid state disk (SSD). The SSD is optional and can be utilized by inserting memory devices onto the board. Jumpers relevant to SSD configuration are:

PCM-4862 SSD Jumpers

The PCM-4862 features an internal Flash/ROM disk drive. This drive emulates a floppy disk drive by using solid-state memory chips (Flash or EPROM) to store programs and data instead of the magnetic particles on the mechanical drive’s disk. The Flash/ROM disk offers much faster access times than a floppy or hard disk and greatly increased reliability in harsh environments.

Chapter 2 Installation 27

The Flash/ROM disk works by modifying the BIOS INT-13 disk I/O routine on boot-up. The routine then translates read and write commands to the disk so that they will correctly access the memory chips. You don’t need any special drivers. You simply set the drive to act as a DOS drive (e.g. A: or C:) and use standard DOS commands (COPY , DIR, etc.) to manipulate your data.

Before you use the Flash/ROM disk, you will need to enable it with J29 and the BIOS Chipset Features Setup Program as detailed in Chapter 4.

Memory devices

The Flash/ROM disk supports the following memory devices, or their equivalents:

• 27C010 128 KB x 8 EPROM

• 27C040 512 KB x 8 EPROM

• 28F010 128 KB x 8 +12 V Flash Memory (AMD/INTEL)

• 29C010 128 KB x 8 +5 V Flash Memory (A TMEL only)

• 29C040 512 KB x 8 +5 V Flash Memory (A TMEL only)

• 29C040A 512 KB x 8 +5 V Flash Memory (A TMEL only)

If you use EPROM, files on the disk are read only . You will need an external programmer to load your program and data files on the EPROMs.

If you use +5 V Flash memories (29C010) for the solid state disk, you can read or write data just like a floppy disk; you need not use an external programmer. If you use +12 V Flash memories (28F010) you will still need an external programmer to write data.

Before you activate the Flash/ROM drive (using the BIOS Chipset Features Setup program), you will need to set the drive's I/O and memory addresses to avoid conflicts with other plug-in cards. You will also need to set the DOS drive designation to be used by the Flash/ROM drive. The following jumpers sets the configuration of the SSD as described in the following sections:

28 PCM-4862 User's Manual

Memory address selection (J27)

The SSD occupies a 8 Kbyte window in the upper memory address range of D6000 to D7FFF . You should ensure this does not conflict with any other device's memory address. Jumpers J27 (5-6, 7-8) control the Flash/ROM disk’s memory address. If you select "Disabled", the disk will not function.

SSD device and size selection (J31, J30)

The size of the emulated drive depends on the size and number of the chips you install. For example, if you install three 512 KB chips, you will have 3 x 512 KB = 1.5 MB, equivalent to a 1.44 MB floppy. The following table shows the memory chips you will need to emulate 360 KB, 720 KB, 1.2 KB and 1.44 floppy drives.

Y ou will need to set jumpers J31 and J30 to match the type (Flash or ROM) and size (128 KB or 512 KB) of the devices you use. All the devices must be the same type and size.

Hard disks

The Flash/ROM disk will not replace corresponding hard disks. Instead, DOS will assign the Flash/ROM disk to the next free drive designation. For example, if you have a single hard disk (drive C:) and assign the Flash/ROM disk to be the 3rd drive, the Flash/ROM drive will become drive D:. If you have two hard disks, the Flash/ ROM drive will become drive E:.

Booting from the Flash/ROM disk

If you wish to have the system boot from the Flash/ROM disk, simply set both J27(9-10, 11-12) closed to select the 1st FDD. Copy your application files to the disk along with the standard system files required to boot (command.com, io.sys, autoexec.bat, etc). The next time you start the system, it will boot from the solid state disk.

Inserting memory devices

After you’ve set all the jumpers on the PCM-4862, insert the appropriate memory devices into the card’s sockets. Remember that you will need to program EPROMs before you insert them.

1 . Make sure that the pins of the memory chips are perpendicular

to the case and both rows are parallel to each other. Often the chips come with the pins spread out slightly. Place the chip on a table top and carefully bend each line of pins together until they point directly down.

2. Insert each chip. Align the chips so their pins are perpendicular to the connector and the semicircular notch on the end of the chip matches the notch on the end of the socket. There will probably be a gap between the chip body and the socket when it is fully seated – Do not push too hard!.

Using a memory manager (EMM386.EXE)

If you are using an extended or expanded memory manager (such as EMM386 or QEMM386), you will need to configure it to avoid the addresses used by the Flash/ROM disk (set by jumpers J30 and J31). Otherwise, the memory manager will attempt to use these addresses, causing unreliable operation.

For example, the line in your CONFIG.SYS file that invokes EMM386, the DOS memory manager, might be the following:

DEVICE=EMM386.SYS X=D600-D7FF

This excludes a 8 KB range for the card from D6000 to D7FFF (the default addresses).

If you are using expanded memory , you will need to make sure that the memory manager is not putting the page frame in the disk's addresses. For example,

DEVICE=EMM386.EXE X=D600-D7FF FRAME = D800

You should also make sure that the disk's memory address is not shadowed in the BIOS.

User's Note: Sometimes, it is better to assign the sectors and tracks when formatting an SSD. For different disk sizes, you must use different assignments, for example:

Format Format

DOS will provide information on total and available disk space, bad sectors, etc. If the disk size does not match your assignment, please check the system settings again, such as the switches and jumpers. If you need a bootable disk, you should do the system transfer by typing:

System test and initialization

These routines test and initialize board hardware. If the routines encounter an error in 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 non-fatal. The system can usually continue the boot up sequence with non-fatal errors. Non-fatal 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-4862’s CMOS memory has an integral lithium battery backup. The battery backup should last ten years in normal service, but when it finally runs down, you will need to replace the complete unit.

SVGA Setup

The PCM-4862 features an on-board flat panel/VGA interface. This chapter provides instructions for installing and operating the software drivers on the included display driver diskette.

Chapter 5 SVGA Setup 55

Simultaneous display mode

The 65545 VGA BIOS supports monochrome LCD, EL, color TFT and STN LCD flat panel displays. It also supports interlaced and non-interlaced analog monitors (VGA color and VGA monochrome) in high-resolution modes while maintaining complete IBM VGA compatibility. Digital monitors (i.e. MDA, CGA, and EGA) are NOT supported. Multiple frequency (multisync) monitors are supported as analog monitors.

Both CRT and panel displays can be used simultaneously. The PCM-4862 can be set in one of three configurations: on a CRT, on a flat panel display, or on both simultaneously. The system is initially set to simultaneous display mode. In the utility diskette, there are three .COM files which can be used to select the display. Simply type the filename at the DOS prompt:

CT.COM Enables CRT display only FP .COM Enables panel display only SM.COM Enables both displays at the same time.

Sleep mode

The display driver diskette contains two files that support sleep mode. Simply type the filename at the DOS prompt:

ON.COM switches to normal display mode. OFF.COM switches to sleep mode.

Programming the

Watchdog Timer

The PCM-4862 is equipped with a watchdog timer that resets the CPU or generates an interrupt if processing comes to a standstill for whatever reason. This feature ensures system reliability in industrial standalone, or unmanned, environments.

Appendix A Programming the Watchdog Timer 71

Jumpers J23 and J24 control the watchdog settings. The default configuration of the timer is enabled with system reset.

T o enable the watchdog timer, you must write a program which reads I/O port address 443 (hex) at regular intervals. The first time your program reads the port, it enables the watchdog timer. After that, your program must read the port at time interval of less than

1.6 seconds, otherwise the watchdog timer will activate and reset the CPU or generate an interrupt on IRQ15. When you want to disable the watchdog timer, your program should read I/O port 043 (hex).

If CPU processing comes to a standstill because of EMI or a software bug, your program's signals to I/O port address 443 to the timer will be interrupted. The timer will then automatically reset the CPU or invoke an IRQ, and data processing will continue normally.

You must write your program so that it reads I/O port address 443 at an interval shorter than the timer's preset interval. The timer's intervals have a tolerance of ±30%, so you should program an instruction that will refresh the timer about every second.

The following program shows how you might program the watchdog timer in BASIC:

10 REM Watchdog timer example program 20 X=INP (&H443) REM Enable and refresh the watchdog 30 GOSUB 1000 REM Task #1, takes 1 second to complete 40 X=INP (&H443) REM Refresh the watchdog 50 GOSUB 2000 REM Task #2, takes 1 second to complete 60 X=INP (&H043) REM Disable the watchdog 70 END 1000 REM Subroutine #1, takes 1 second to complete

1070 RETURN 2000 REM Subroutine #2, takes 1 second to complete

2090 RETURN

This appendix gives instructions for installing PC/104 modules.

Appendix B Installing PC/104 Modules 73

Installing PC/104 modules

The PCM-4862's PC/104 connectors give you the flexibility to attach PC/104 expansion modules. These modules perform the functions of traditional plug-in expansion cards, but save space and valuable slots. Modules include:

• PCM-3290 GPS Module

• PCM-3810 Solid State Disk Module

• PCM-3820 High Density Flash Disk Module

• PCM-3110 PCMCIA Module

• PCM-3111 Secondary PCMCIA Module

• PCM-3610 Isolated RS-232 and RS-422/485 Module

• PCM-3660 Ethernet Module

• PCM-3718 30 KHz A/D Module

• PCM-3724 48-Channel DIO Module

• PCM-3640 4-Port RS-232 Module

• PCM-3680 Dual Port CAN Module Installing these modules on the PCM-4862 is quick and simple.

The following steps show how to mount the PC/104 modules:

1. Remove the PCM-4862 from your system paying particular attention to the safety instructions already mentioned above.

2. Make any jumper or link changes required to the CPU card now. Once the PC/104 module is mounted you may have difficulty in accessing these.

3. Normal PC/104 modules have male connectors and mount directly onto the main card. However, to ensure better bus matching, the connectors on the PCM-4862 and the PC/104 module are both female. For this reason, you may need to use the "male-male" adapter included with the PCM-4862 in order to properly connect your PC/104 module. (Refer to the diagram on the following page.)

4. Mount the PC/104 module onto the CPU card by pressing the module firmly but carefully onto the mounting connectors.

5. Secure the PC/104 module onto the CPU card using the four mounting spacers and srews.
