Chapter 1 Introduction
1.1 Introduction
The PCM-9340 is the ultimate cost-effective solution for limited-space
applications. It offers all the functions of an AT-compatible industrial
computer on a single board. The PCM-9340 comes with an embedded
high-performance STPC Elite 133 processor and 32MB SDRAM on
board. For maximum performance, the PCM-9340 also supports one
optional SODIMM socket that can accept up to 64 MB memory.
On-board features include an Ethernet interface, a socket for DOC®
2000, Enhanced IDE interface, one parallel port, four serial ports (three
RS-232s, and one RS-232/422/485) with DB-9 connectors, and a miniDIN PS/2 keyboard/mouse interface, and an optional audio function. An
SVGA/LCD display controller (LCD, and CRT displays) allows LCD
screen resolutions up to 1024 x 768 @ 64K colors and CRT resolutions
up to 1280 x 1024 @ 256 colors.
The PCM-9340 complies with the “Green Function” standard and supports three types of power saving features: Normal, Doze and Sleep
modes.
The display type configuration is done through software. A single Flash
chip holds the system BIOS and the VGA BIOS. This minimizes the
number of chips and eases configuration. You can change the display
BIOS simply by programming the Flash chip.
If you need any additional functions, the PCM-9340 has a PC/104 connector for future upgrades.

1.3.3 Ethernet Interface (PCM-9340F and PCM-9340N)
This chapter tells how to connect
peripherals, switches, and indicators to the
PCM-9340 board. It also covers jumper
settings. You can access most of the connectors from the top of the board while it
is installed in the chassis. If you have a
number of cards installed, or your chassis
is very tight, you may need to partially
remove the card to make all the connections.

Chapter 2 Installation
2.1 Jumpers
The PCM-9340 has a number of jumpers that allow you to configure your
system to suit your application.
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.
openclosedclosed 2-3
The jumper settings are schematically depicted in this manual as follows:.
openclosed2-3 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.

2.3 Watchdog Timer Action (JP3)
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 one jumper setting and running the control software (refer to
Appendix A).
When the watchdog timer activates (CPU processing has come to a halt),
it can either reset the system or generate an interrupt on IRQ11. This
choice for watchdog timer action is set via JP3 as shown below:
Connectors on the board link it to external devices such as hard disk
drives, a keyboard or expansion bus connectors.

2.8 Making Connections
The following sections tell how to make each connection. In most cases,
you will simply need to connect a standard cable. All of the connector pin
assignments are shown in Appendix C.
Warning!
Caution!
Always completely disconnect the power cord
from your chassis whenever you are working
on it. Do not make connections while the power
is on. Sensitive electronic components can be
damaged by a sudden rush of power. Only
experienced electronics personnel should open
the PC chassis.
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. This is
especially important where the ambient air is
very dry.

Page 26
2.14 IR connector (CN8)
This connector supports the optional wireless infrared transmitting and
receiving module. This module mounts on the system case. You must
configure the setting through BIOS setup.
2.15 Enhanced IDE HDD Connector (CN9)
You can attach two IDE (Integrated Device Electronics) drives to the
PCM-9340 internal controller. The PCM-9340 SBC card has an EIDE
connector, CN9.
Wire number 1 on the cable is red or blue, and the other wires are gray.
Connect one end to connector CN9 on the PCM-9340. Make sure that the
red (or blue) wire corresponds to pin 1 on the connector. See Figure 2-1,
where pin 1 is indicated with a triangle or a solid square.
Unlike floppy drives, IDE hard drives can connect in either position on
the cable. If you install two drives, you will need to set one as the master
and one as the slave. You do this by setting the jumpers on the drives. If
you use just one drive, you should set it as the master. See the documentation that came with your drive for more information.
Connect the first hard drive to the free end of the cable. Wire 1 on the
cable should also connect to pin 1 on the hard drive connector, which
should be labeled on the drive circuit board. Check the documentation
that came with the drive for more information. If you are using a second
drive, connect it to the remaining connector on the same cable.
2.16 VGA interface connections (CN10, CN15, CN19)
The PCM-9340’s PCI SVGA interface can drive conventional CRT displays and is capable of driving a wide range of flat panel displays, including passive 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.
2.16.1 CRT display connector (CN10)
CN10 is a 16-pin, dual-inline header used for conventional CRT displays.
A simple one-to-one adapter can be used to match CN10 to a standard 15pin D-SUB connector commonly used for VGA.
Pin assignments for CRT display connector CN18 are detailed in Appendix C.
PCM-9340 User’s Manual18
Page 27
2.16.2 Extension flat panel connector (CN15)
CN15 consists of a 20-pin connector which is Hirose’s product no.
DF13A-20DP-1.25V. The PCM-9340 supports a 36-bit LCD panel which
must be connected to both the CN19 (40-pin) and the CN15 (20-pin). The
pin assignments for both CN19 and the CN15 can be found in Appendix
C.
2.16.3 Flat panel display connector (CN19)
CN19 consists of a 40-pin connector which can support a 24-bit LCD
panel. It is Hirose’s product no. DF13A-40DP-1.25 V
The PCM-9340 provides a bias control signal on CN19 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-9340’s power is
applied, the control signal is low until just after the relevant flat panel signals are present.
2.17 Audio interfaces (CN11, CN17) (optional)
The PCM-9340 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.
2.17.1 Audio connector (CN11)
The PCM-9340 provides all major audio signals on a 16-pin flat-cable
connector, CN11. 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.
2.17.2 CD audio input connector (CN17)
Any CD-ROM drive can provide analog audio signal output when used as
a music CD player. The CN17 on PCM-9340 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 CN17.
2.17.3 Audio power source setting (JP7)
The PCM-9340 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-9340’s audio interface

You can attach up to two floppy disk drives to the PCM-9340's onboard
controller. You can use any combination of 5.25" (360 KB/1.2 MB) and/
or 3.5" (720 KB/1.44/2.88 MB) drives.
The card comes with a 34-pin daisy-chain drive connector cable. 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 flatcable connector (usually used for 3.5" drives) and a printed-circuit-board
connector (usually used for 5.25" drives). You can use only one connector
in each set. The set on the end (after the twist in the cable) connects to the
A: floppy. The set in the middle connects to the B: floppy.
2.20 Parallel port connector (CN18)
The parallel port is designated as LPT1, and is normally used to connect
the CPU card to a printer. The PCM-9340 includes an on-board parallel
port, accessed through a 26-pin flat-cable connector, CN18. The card
comes with an adapter cable which lets 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, mounted on a retaining bracket. The bracket installs at
the end of an empty slot in your chassis, giving you access to the connector.
To install the bracket, find an empty slot in your chassis. Unscrew the
plate that covers the end of the slot. Screw in the bracket in place of the
plate. Next, attach the flat-cable connector to CN18 on the CPU card.
Wire 1 of the cable is red or blue, and the other wires are gray. Make sure
that wire 1 corresponds to pin 1 of CN18. Pin 1 is on the right side of
CN18.
2.21 General Purpose Input Output (CN20)
The PCM-9340 supports 8-bit GPIO through CN20. The 8 digital in- and
out-puts can be programmed to read or control devices, with input or output defined. The default setting is 4 bits input and 4 bits output.

3.1 System test and initialization
These routines test and initialize board hardware. If the routines encounter an error 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 instruction:
press <F1> to RESUME
Write down the message and press the F1 key to continue the bootup
sequence.
3.1.1 System configuration verification
These routines check the current system configuration against the values
stored in the board’s CMOS memory. If they do not 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 informa-
tion has been erased.
The PCM-9340 Series' 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.

4.1 Introduction
The PCM-9340 has an on-board LCD/VGA interface. The specifications
and features are described as follows:
4.1.1 Chipset
The PCM-9340 uses a SMI LynxEM+ 712G chipset for its SVGA controller. It supports many popular 18-bit LCD displays and conventional
analog CRT monitors. The VGA BIOS supports LCD. 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. Multiple frequency (multisync) monitors are handled as
if they were analog monitors.
4.1.2 Display memory
With 2MB shared memory, the VGA controller can drive CRT displays or
color panel displays with resolutions up to 1280 x 1024 at 256 colors.
4.2 Installation of the SVGA Driver
Complete the following steps to install the SVGA driver.
Notes:
1. The windows illustrations in this chapter are
intended as examples only. Please follow the
listed steps, and pay attention to the instructions which appear on your screen.
2. For convenience, the CD-ROM drive is designated as "D" throughout this chapter.
3. When you are using a CRT display, please
make sure that your resolution settings (in the
BIOS setup) are the same as your VGA resolution settings (in Windows). Otherwise your display may behave strangely.

5.1 Introduction
The PCM-9340 is equipped with a high performance 32-bit Ethernet
chipset which is fully compliant with IEEE 802.3 100 Mbps CSMA/CD
standards. It is supported by major network operating systems. It is also
both 100Base-T and 10Base-T compatible. The medium type can be configured via the RSET8139.exe program included on the utility disk.
The Ethernet port provides a standard RJ-45 jack onboard (CN6). 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 combined with system BIOS, which can be enabled/disabled in the BIOS setup.
5.2 Ethernet Driver Installation
Before installing the Ethernet driver, note the procedures below. You
must know which operating system you are using in your PCM-9340
Series, and then refer to the corresponding installation steps. You will

Programming the
Watchdog Timer
The PCM-9340 is equipped with
a watchdog timer that resets the CPU or
generates an interrupt if processing comes
to a standstill for any reason. This
feature ensures system reliability in
industrial standalone or unmanned environments.

Appendix A Programming the Watchdog
Timer
A.1 Supported Input Timing Modes
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

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).
