2.5 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.

Closed 2-3Open Closed

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

Closed 2-3Open Closed

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 Installation 13

2.6 CPU 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.

14 PCM-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)

Warning: To avoid damaging the computer, always turn off the

power supply bef ore setting “Clear CMOS .” Set the jumper back to “3V Battery On” bef ore turning on the power supply.

2.7 Installing 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.

2.8 IDE 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.

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.

2.9 Floppy 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).

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.
