General Information

This chapter gives background information
on the PCM-5864/L.

Sections include:

• Introduction

• Features

• Specifications

• Board layout and dimensions

1.1 Introduction

The PCM-5864/L is an all-in-one multi-media Pentium

®

processor-based single board computer (SBC) with a 16-bit audio
controller, a video in/out controller, a PCI SVGA controller, a PCI
100/10 base-T Ethernet interface, and one PCI expansion slot.
When using an Intel® Pentium® MMX processor, the PCM-5864/L
achieves outstanding performance that surpasses any other SBC in
its class. This compact (only 5.75“ x 8”) unit offers all the
functions of a single board industrial computer, but still fits in the
space of a 5.25“ floppy drive.

On-board features include 512 KB 2nd level cache, four serial
ports (three RS-232, one RS-232/422/485), one multi-mode
parallel (ECP/EPP/SPP) port, two USB (Universal Serial Bus)
ports, a floppy drive controller, and a 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, and tape
backup drives.

The PCM-5864/L features power management to minimize power
consumption. It complies with the “Green Function” standard and
supports Doze, Standby and Suspend modes. In addition, the
board‘s watchdog timer can automatically reset the system or
generate an interrupt if the system stops due to a program bug or
EMI.

Highly integrated multimedia SBC

The PCM-5864/L is a highly integrated multimedia SBC that
combines audio, video, and network functions on a single
computer board the size of a 5.25" floppy drive. It provides 16-bit
half-duplex, 8-bit full-duplex, integrated 3D audio, and up to
1024 x 768 resolution @ 64 K colors with 2 MB display memory.
Major on-board devices adopt PCI technology, to achieve
outstanding computing performance when used with Intel
Pentium® processors. This makes the PCM-5864/L the world‘s
smallest and most powerful all-in-one multimedia board.

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, connect the pins with the clip. To “open” a
jumper, 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.

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.

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

Chapter 2 Installation 15

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! Always 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 e xperienced
electronics personnel should open the PC chassis.

Caution! Always ground yourself to remo ve an y 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 surf ace or in a static-shielded
bag when they are not in the chassis.

2.6.1 Installing a CPU in the PGA type socket

1. If you are upgrading the CPU, remove the old CPU from the

socket. If it is difficult to remove, you may find chip lubricant
(designed for pin-grid-array devices, PGAs) and a chip puller
helpful. Both are available at electronics hobby supply stores.

2. Plug the new CPU into the empty socket. Follow the

instructions that came with the CPU or math coprocessor. If
you have no instructions, do the following: Lubricate the CPU
pins with lubricant made for PGA devices. This will make the
new CPU slide in much more easily, and reduce the chance of
damaging it. Next, carefully align the CPU so that 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. There will probably be a gap between the
CPU and the connector when it is fully seated - do not push too
hard!

16 PCM-5864/L User's Manual

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.

2.6.2 System clock setting (J5, J9, and J10)

J5, J9 and J10 are used to set the CPU and PCI bus speed to
optimize the system performance. The system chipset will sense
the J10 setting to get the bus frequency, then adjust its internal
timing. J9 is used to set the CPU and PCI clock. J5 is the CPU
clock ratio setting jumper. Refer to the CPU Speed Reference
Table (below) for instructions on adjusting the internal clocks
according to the base CPU speed.

2.7 Installing system memory (DIMMs)

You are able to install memory ranging from 8 to 128 MB of
DIMM onto your PCM-5864/5L card. The card provides one
168-pin DIMM socket, which accepts 8, 16, 32, 64 or 128 MB

3.3 V power level EDO/synchronous DIMMs.

2.7.1 Installing DIMMs

The procedure for installing DIMMs is described below. Please
follow these steps carefully. The number of pins are different on
either side of the breaks, so the module can only fit in one way.
DIMM modiles have different pin contacts on each side, and
therefore have a higher pin density.

1. Make sure that the two handles of the DIMM socket are in the

“open” position. i.e. The handles remain leaning outward.

2. Slowly slide the DIMM module along the plastic guides on

both ends of the socket.

3. Press the DIMM module right down into the socket, until you

hear a click. This is when the two handles have automatically
locked the memory module into the correct position of the
socket.

To remove the memory module, just push both handles outward,
and the module will be ejected from the socket.

2.8 IDE hard drive connector (CN12)

You can attach one or two Enhanced Integrated Device
Electronics hard disk drives to the PCM-5864/L’s internal
controller. The PCM-5864/L’s IDE controller uses a PCI local-bus
interface. This advanced IDE controller supports faster data
transfer, PID mode 3, and mode 4.

Chapter 2 Installation 21

2.8.1 Connecting the hard drive

Connecting drives is done in a daisy-chain fashion. It requires one
of two cables (not included in this package), depending on the
drive size. 1.8" and 2.5" drives need a 1 x 44-pin to 2 x 44-pin flat­cable 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 into 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.

2.8.2 CompactFlash (CN501)

The CompactFlash card shares an IDE channel which can be
enabled/disabled via J13.

Table 2-10: CompactFlash enable/disable (J13)

Enabled Disabled

22 PCM-5864/L User's Manual

2.9 Floppy drive connector (CN10)

You can attach up to two floppy drives to the PCM-5864/5L’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 CN10. 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 5.25” 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 3.5” floppy drive, you may have
trouble determining which pin is number one. Look for a
number printed on the circuit board indicating pin number one.
In addition, the connector on the floppy drive 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.

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

Chapter 2 Installation 23

2.10 Parallel port connector (CN14)

Normally, the parallel port is used to connect the card to a printer.
The PCM-5864/L includes a multi-mode (ECP/EPP/SPP) parallel
port accessed via CN14, 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.

2.11 Keyboard and PS/2 mouse connector (CN9)

The PCM-5864/L 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. If the
keyboard is not present, the standard PC/AT BIOS will report an
error or fail during power-on self-test (POST) after a reset. The
PCM-5864/L’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.

24 PCM-5864/L User's Manual

2.12 Front panel connector (CN15)

Next, you may want to install external switches to monitor and
control the PCM-5864/L. These features are optional: install them
only if you need them. The front panel connector (CN15) is an
8-pin male, dual in-line header. It 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-5864/L can drive an 8 W 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 the PCM-5864/L’s watchdog timer times out, the front
panel pin 6 will output an active low pulse signal (25mA sink rate
for 1 second).

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.

You must configure the setting through BIOS setup.

2.16 Audio interfaces (CN4, CN6, CN7, CN502) (PCM-5864 only)

The PCM-5864 is equipped with a high-quality audio interface,
which provides 16-bit CD-quality recording and playback as well
as OPL3 compatible FM music. It is supported by all major
operating systems, and is 100% Sound Blaster Pro compatible.

2.16.1 Audio connector (CN4)

The PCM-5864 provides all major audio signals on a 16-pin
flat-cable connector, CN4. These audio signals include
Microphone in (mono), Line in (stereo), Line out (stereo), and
Speaker out (stereo). If you use traditional telephone jack
connectors for these audio signals, you will need an adapter cable.

2.16.2 CD audio input connector (CN6)

Any CD-ROM drive can provide analog audio signal output when
used as a music CD player. The CN6 on PCM-5864 is a connector
to input CD audio signals into the audio controller. The audio
cable of your CD-ROM drive will be used to connect to CN6.

2.16.3 Aux line-in connector (CN7)

The CN7 Line in signal is the same as CN4. It is reserved for the
AV connector via a customized cable.

reserved for the AV connector via a customized cable.

28 PCM-5864/L User's Manual

2.16.5 Audio power source setting (J23)

The PCM-5864 is designed to work with a single +5 V power
supply. The audio interface can also function normally under
single +5V power supply, but most audio controllers require an
independent power source generated from a +12 V power supply.
The independent power source avoids the noise from the other
digital circuits. The PCM-5864‘s audio interface can accept +12 V
power to provide improved quality audio. This is done via J23.

2.18 VGA interface connections

The PCM-5864/L’s PCI 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 board has two connectors to
support these displays, one for standard CRT VGA monitors and
one for flat panel displays.

2.18.1 CRT display connector (CN18)

CN18 is a 16-pin, dual-inline header used for conventional CRT
displays. A simple one-to-one adapter can be used to match CN18
to a standard 15-pin D-SUB connector commonly used for VGA.

Pin assignments for CRT display connector CN18 are detailed in
Appendix C.

2.18.2 Flat panel display connector (CN20)

CN20 consists of a 44-pin, dual-inline header which can support a
24-bit LCD panel. Power supply (+12 V) present on CN20
depends on the supply connected to the board.

The PCM-5864/L provides a bias control signal on CN20 that 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 or +3.3 V) and panel video signals are
stable. Under normal operation, the control signal (ENAVEE) is
active high. When the PCM-5864/L’s power is applied, the control
signal is low until just after the relevant flat panel signals are
present.

2.18.3 Extension flat panel connector (CN21)

The PCM-5864/L supports a 36-bit LCD panel which must be
connected to both the CN20 (44-pin) and the CN21 (16-pin). The
pin assignments for both CN20 and the CN21 can be found in
Appendix C.

5.1 Before you begin

To facilitate the installation of the enhanced display device drivers
and utility software, you should read the instructions in this
chapter carefully before you attempt installation. The enhanced
display drivers for the PCM-5864/L board are located on the
software installation disk. You must install the drivers and utility
software by using the supplied SETUP program for DOS drivers.

Note: The files on the software installation disk are

compressed. Do not attempt to install the drivers
by copying the files man ually. You must use the
supplied SETUP program to install the drivers.

Before you begin, it is important to note that most display drivers
need to have the relevant software application already installed in
the system prior to installing the enhanced display drivers. In
addition, many of the installation procedures assume that you are
familiar with both the relevant software applications and operating
system commands. Review the relevant operating system
commands and the pertinent sections of your application
software's manual before performing the installation.

5.2 Introduction

The PCM-5864/L has an on-board PCI flat panel/VGA interface.
The specifications and features are described as follows:

5.2.1 Chipset

The PCM-5864/L uses a C&T 6900/69030 chipset for its
PCI/SVGA controller. It supports many popular LCD, EL, and gas
plasma flat panel displays, aa well as conventional analog CRT
monitors. The 6900/69030 VGA BIOS supports monochrome
LCD, EL, color TFT and STN LCD flat panel displays. In
addition, it also supports interlaced and non-interlaced analog
monitors (color and monochrome VGA) in high-resolution modes,
while maintaining complete IBM VGA compatibility. Digital
monitors (i.e. MDA, CGA, and EGA) are NOT supported.

60 PCM-5864/L User's Manual

Multiple frequency (multisync) monitors are handled as if they
were analog monitors.

5.2.2 Display memory

With on-board 2 MB display memory, the VGA controller can
drive CRT displays or color panel displays with resolutions up to
1024 x 768 @ 64 K colors. With C&T 69030, the display memory
can be expanded to 4 MB for true-color resolution of 1024 x 768.

5.2.3 Display types

CRT and panel displays can be used simultaneously. The
PCM-5864/L 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. The CD utility disc
includes three *.COM files in the subdirectory
Biscuit\5864\Utility which can be used to configure the display.
In order to use these configuration programs, type the file name
and path at the DOS prompt.

CT.COM: Enables CRT display only
FP.COM: Enables panel display only
SM.COM: Enables both displays simultaneously

5.3 Installation of SVGA driver

Complete the following steps to install the SVGA driver. Follow
the procedures in the flow chart that apply to the operating system
that you are using within your PCM-5864/L.

Important: The f ollowing windows illustrations are e xamples

only. You must follow the flow chart instructions
