Installation
This chapter tells how to set up the
PCM-9570/S hardware, including instructions
on setting jumpers and connecting peripherals,
switches and indicators. Be sure to read all the
safety precautions before you begin the
installation procedure.
2.1Jumpers
The PCM-9570/S has a number of jumpers that allow you to
configure your system to suit your application. The table below lists
the function of each of the board’s jumpers:

2.2Connectors
On-board connectors link the PCM-9570/S to external devices such as
hard disk drives, a keyboard, or floppy drives. The table below lists the
function of each of the board’s connectors:
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.

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.
Chapter 2 Installation13
2.6CPU installation and upgrading
You can upgrade to a higher power Pentium processor at any time.
Simply remove the old CPU, install the new one, and set the jumpers
for the new CPU type and speed.
Warning! Alwa ys disconnect the power cord from y our 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 g round yourself to remo v e any static charge
before touching the PC board. Modern electronic
devices are v ery 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.
2.6.1 Installing a CPU in the ZIF socket
The PCM-9570/S provides a Zero Insertion Force (ZIF) socket for
easy CPU installation.
1. Make sure the ZIF socket lever is in the upright position. To raise
the lever, pull it out to the side a little and raise it as far as it will
go.
2. Place the CPU in the empty socket. Follow the instructions that
came with the CPU. If you have no instructions, do the following:
Carefully align the CPU so it is parallel to the socket and the notch
on the corner of the CPU corresponds with the notch on the inside
of the socket. Gently slide the CPU in. It should insert easily. If it
doesn‘t, pull the lever up a little more.
3. Press the lever down. The plate will slide forward. You will feel
some resistance as the pressure starts to secure the CPU in the
socket. This is normal and will not damage the CPU.
14PCM-9570/S User's Manual
When the CPU is installed, the lever should snap into place at the side
of the socket.
Note:To remove a CPU, pull the lever out to the side a little
and raise it as far as it will go. Lift out the CPU chip.
2.6.2 CMOS clear (J1)

2.7Installing DRAM (SODIMMs)
2.7.1 Introduction
You can install anywhere from 16 MB to 128 MB of on-board DRAM
memory using 16, 32, 64 or 128 MB 144-pin SODIMMs (Small
Outline Dual In-Line Memory Modules).
2.7.2 Installing SODIMMs
Note:The modules can only fit into a soc ket one w a y and
their gold pins must point down into the SODIMM
socket.
The procedure for installing SODIMMs appears below. Please follow
these steps carefully.
1. Ensure that all power supplies to the system are switched Off.
2. Install the SODIMM card. Install the SODIMM so that its gold
pins point down into the SODIMM socket.
3. Slip the SODIMM into the socket at a 45 degree angle and
carefully fit the bottom of the card against the connectors.
4. Gently push the SODIMM into a perpendicular position until the
clips on the ends of the SODIMM sockets snap into place.
5. Check to ensure that the SODIMM is correctly seated and all
connector contacts touch. The SODIMM should not move around
in its socket.
2.8IDE hard drive connector (CN11)
You can attach one or two Enhanced Integrated Device Electronics
hard disk drives to the PCM-9570/S’s internal controller. The
PCM-9570/S’s IDE controller uses a PCI local-bus interface. This
advanced IDE controller supports faster data transfer, PIO mode 3,
mode 4.
16PCM-9570/S User's Manual
2.8.1 Connecting the hard drive
Connecting drives is done in a daisy-chain fashion and requires one of
two cables (not included in this packing), 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 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 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.
2.9Floppy drive connector (CN9)
You can attach up to two floppy drives to the PCM-9570/S’s on-board
controller. You can use any combination of 5.25” (360 KB and 1.2
MB) and/or 3.5” (720 KB, 1.44 MB, and 2.88 MB) drives.
A 34-pin daisy-chain drive connector cable is required for a dual-drive
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 3.5” drives)
and a printed-circuit board connector (usually used for 5.25” drives).
Chapter 2 Installation17
2.9.1 Connecting the floppy drive
1. Plug the 34-pin flat-cable connector into CN9. 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. In addition,
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 board’s connector in Appendix C.
2.10 Parallel port connector (CN12)
Normally, the parallel port is used to connect the card to a printer. The
PCM-9570/S includes a multi-mode (ECP/EPP/SPP) parallel port,
accessed through CN12, a 26-pin flat-cable connector. You will need
an adapter cable if you use a traditional DB-25 connector. The adapter
cable has a 26-pin connector on one end and a DB-25 connector on
the other.
The parallel port is designated as LPT1 and can be disabled or
changed to LPT2 or LPT3 in the system BIOS setup.
The parallel port interrupt channel is designated to be IRQ7.
You can select ECP/EPP DMA channel via BIOS setup.
18PCM-9570/S User's Manual
2.11 Keyboard and PS/2 mouse connector (CN5)
The PCM-9570/S board provides a keyboard connector that 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/AT
BIOS will report an error or fail during power-on self-test (POST)
after a reset if the keyboard is not present. The PCM-9570/S’s BIOS
standard setup menu allows you to select “All, But Keyboard” under
the “Halt On” selection. This allows no-keyboard operation in
embedded system applications without the system halting under
POST (power-on-self-test).
2.12 Front panel connector (CN18)
Next, you may want to install external switches to monitor and control
the PCM-9570/S. These features are optional - install them only if you
need them. The front panel connector (CN18) is an 8-pin male, dual
in-line header and provides connections for a speaker, hard disk
access indicator, watchdog output and an input switch for resetting
the card.
2.12.1 Speaker
The PCM-9570/S can drive an 8 Ω speaker at 0.5 watts. Make sure that
alternatives to this specification do not overload the card.
2.12.2 LED interface
The front panel LED indicator for hard disk access is an active low
signal (24 mA sink rate).
2.12.3 Watchdog output
When PCM-9570/S watchdog timer times out, the front panel pin 6
will output an active low pulse signal (25mA sink rate for 1 second).
Chapter 2 Installation19
2.12.4 Reset switch
If you install a reset switch, it should be an 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 board’s connector in Appendix C.
2.13 Power connectors (FAN1, CN14, CN6)
2.13.1 Peripheral power connector, -5 V, -12 V

5.3Further information
For further information about the PCI/SVGA installation in your
PCM-9570/S, including driver updates, troubleshooting guides and
FAQ lists, visit the following web resources:
The PCM-9570/S features an on-board SCSI
interface. This chapter provides basic SCSI
concepts and instructions for installing the
software drivers with the SCSI driver disks/CD
included in your package.
6.1Introduction
The PCM-9570/S is equipped with a Symbios SYM53C895
single-chip PCI-to-SCSI host adapter which provides a powerful
Ultra2 multitasking interface between your computer’s PCI bus and
SCSI devices (disk drives, CD-ROM drives, scanners, tape backups,
removable media drives, etc.). Up to a total of 15 SCSI devices can be
connected to the SCSI connector through the Symbios SYM53C895.
The SYMBIOS 53C895 is a 16-bit, LVD/SE (Low Voltage
Differential/Single-Ended) SCSI solution for your computer. It can
support both legacy Fast SCSI and Ultra SCSI devices, as well as the
newest LVD Ultra2 SCSI devices.
If you need to configure the SCSI, the on-board SCSI Select
configuration utility allows you to change host adapter settings
without opening the computer or handling the board. The SCSI Select
utility also contains a utility to low-level format and verifies the disk
media on your hard disk drives.
Note:If an y peripheral is attached to the Ultra2 SCSI
segment and is running at SE mode, one or more
Ultra/Ultra Wide peripherals will be attached to the
Ultra2 SCSI segment and will cause the Ultra2 SCSI
segment to run at speeds up to 40 MBytes/sec
instead of 80 MBytes/sec.
60PCM-9570/S User's Manual
6.2Before you begin
SDMS software requires an IBM PC/AT or compatible computer with
an 80486 or higher microprocessor. An understanding of basic
operating system commands is assumed. In addition, users should
have a general knowledge of the SCSI standard.
Before using the SDMS software, you should configure the Symbios
SCSI controller into your system, taking into account the
configuration of other host adapters and system resources (see Section
6.3).
Symbios recommends that you back up all data before making any
changes or installing any software, including the Symbios SCSI
controllers and software. Failure to adhere to this accepted computer
practice may lead to loss of data.
6.3Basic rules for SCSI host adapter and
device installation
You must terminate both ends of the SCSI bus. Refer to the hardware
manuals for the devices and the host adapter to properly terminate the
bus.
Unless your system is SCSI Configured AutoMatically (SCAM)
capable, you must configure each SCSI device with a different SCSI
ID number. Refer to the hardware manuals for the devices to locate
where the jumpers of dip switches are for setting SCSI ID numbers.
Usually, the host adapter is ID 7. The devices are then set at IDs 0
through 6 (plus 8 through 15 for Wide SCSI). The bootable hard drive
must have the lowest numerical SCSI ID, unless you are able to use
the BIOS Boot Specification (BBS).
The red or blue line on a standard SCSI cable (or the black line on one
end of a multi-colored SCSI cable) designates pin one on the cable
connector and must connect to pin one on the device or host adapter
connector. Refer to Appendix C to find pin one of the connector.
Chapter 6 SCSI Setup and Configurations61
6.4Configuring the SCSI adapter
Access the SCSI BIOS by holding down both the CTRL and C keys
when you see the BIOS banner message listing the driver name and
the attached devices. For example:
Symbios Inc. SDMS (TM) V 4.0 PCI SCSI BIOS
PCI Rev. 2.0, 2.1
Copyright 1995, 1998 Symbios Inc.
PCI-4.12.00
Press Ctrl-C to start Symbios Configuration
Utility...
The SCSI Select screen will come up. Instructions on how to move
the cursor and select options are listed on the bottom of the program
windows. You can select either Configure/View Host Adapter
Settings or SCSI CD Utilities.
62PCM-9570/S User's Manual
6.5SCSI terminators
To ensure reliable communication, the SCSI bus must be properly
terminated. Termination is controlled by a set of electrical resistors,
called terminators. Terminators must be placed (or enabled) at the two
extreme ends of the SCSI bus. All devices that lie between the ends
must have their terminators removed (or disabled).
Since the method for terminating a SCSI peripheral can vary widely,
refer to the peripheral’s documentation for instructions on how to
enable or disable termination. Here are some general guidelines for
termination:
• Termination on internal SCSI peripherals is usually controlled by
manually setting a jumper or switch on the peripheral, or by
physically removing or installing one or more resistor modules on
the peripheral.
• Termination on external SCSI peripherals is usually controlled by
installing or removing a SCSI terminator. On some external
peripherals, termination is controlled by setting a switch on the rear
of the drive.
• By default, termination on the CPU card itself is automatic (the
preferred method).
• Internal Ultra2 peripherals are set at the factory with termination
disabled, which cannot be changed. Proper termination for internal
Ultra2 peripherals is provided by the built-in terminator at the end
of the Ultra2 internal SCSI cable.
• Most non-Ultra2 SCSI peripherals come from the factory with
termination enabled.
Chapter 6 SCSI Setup and Configurations63
6.6SDMS drivers
The SDMS device drivers translate an operating system I/O request
into a SCSI request. Each Symbios SCSI device driver is operating
system specific and is designed to work on standard Symbios chip
implementations.
We provide PCI SDMS device drivers for the following operating
systems:
• MS-DOS/Windows
• Windows 95/98
• Windows NT - 3.51 and above
• OS/2 4.x Warp
• SCO UNIX - Open Server 5.0.2 and above
• Novell NetWare - 3.12, 4.11 (NWPA)
Note:When y ou start the Windows NT installation with
either a CD-ROM boot or from the floppy disks , a
black screen will initially appear with the f ollowing
text at the top:
Setup is inspecting your computer’s hardware
configuration...
While this is on the screen (before entering the initial blue screen),
press the F6 key. Windows NT setup will allow a SCSI driver to be
added before the second disk is requested. Add the appropriate driver
from a prepared floppy disk. Follow the rest of the instructions to
finish the installation.

A.1Programming the watchdog timer
In order to program the watchdog timer, you must write a program
which writes I/O port address 443 (hex). The output data is a value of
time interval. The value range is from 01(hex) to 3E(hex), and the
related time interval is 1 sec. to 62 sec.
DataTime Interval
011 sec.
022 sec.
033 sec.
044 sec.
3E62 sec.
After data entry, your program must refresh the watchdog timer by
rewriting the I/O port 443 (hex) while simultaneously setting it.
When you want to disable the watchdog timer, your program should
read I/O port 443 (hex).

Installing PC/104
Modules
This appendix gives instructions for installing
PC/104 modules.
B.1Installing PC/104 modules
The PCM-9570/S's PC/104 connectors give you the flexibility to
attach PC/104 modules.
Installing these modules on the PCM-9570/S is quick and simple. The
following steps show how to mount the PC/104 modules:
1. Remove the PCM-9570/S 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. (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 screws.
