2.4 Setting Jumpers
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:.
openclosedclosed 2-3
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.
PCM-9586 User’s Manual14
2.5 Clear CMOS (JP3)
Warning!To avoid damaging the computer, always turn off
the power supply before setting “Clear CMOS.”
Before turning on the power supply, set the
jumper back to “3.0 V Battery On.”
This jumper is used to erase CMOS data and reset system BIOS information.
The procedure for clearing CMOS is:
1.Turn off the system.
2.Push JP3
3.Turn on the system. The BIOS is now reset to its default setting
2.6 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 modules 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.
15Chapter 2
2.7 IDE, CDROM hard drive connector (CN5, CN6)
The PCM-9586 provides 2 IDE channels which you can attach up to four
Enhanced Integrated Device Electronics hard disk drives or CDROM to
the PCM-9586’s internal controller. The PCM-9586's IDE controller uses
a PCI interface. This advanced IDE controller supports faster data transfer, PIO mode 3, mode 4 and UDMA/100. The secondary channel supports UDMA/33 only.
2.7.1 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 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 CN5, CN6. 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.)
If desired, 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 only one
drive, set it as the master.
2.8 Solid State Disk
The PCM-9586 provides a CompactFlash™ card socket and DiskOnChip
socket for Solid state disk solutions.
2.8.1 CompactFlash (CN20)
The CompactFlash card shares a secondary IDE channel which can be
enabled/disabled via the BIOS settings.
PCM-9586 User’s Manual16
2.9 Floppy drive connector (CN8)
You can attach up to two floppy drives to the PCM-9586’s on-board controller. This is useful for notebooks with 26 pin slim-FDD cable (part
no:1906000001), for example.
You can use any combination of 5.25”(360 KB and 1.2MB) and/or
3.5”(720 KB, 1.44MB, and 2.88 MB) drives. A 26 pin slim-FDD cable,
26-34pin daisy-chain drive cable converter, and appropriate 34 pin flat
cable are required.
2.9.1 Connecting the floppy drive
1.Plug the 26-pin slim FDD-cable connector into CN8 of PCM-9586
board and the 26-34pin daisy-chain drive cable converter. Make
sure that the red wire corresponds to pin one on the connector.
2.Plug the 34-pin flat-cable connector into 26-34pin daisy-chain
drive cable connector. Make sure that the red-wire corresponds to
pin one on the connector.
3.Attach the appropriate connector at the 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 A: drive. The set
in the middle connects to the B: drive.
4.If you are connecting a 5.25” floppy drive, line up the slot in the
PCB (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.
17Chapter 2
2.10 Parallel port connector (CN4)
Normally, the parallel port is used to connect the card to a printer. The
PCM-9584 includes a multi-mode (ECP/EPP/SPP) parallel port accessed
via CN4 and 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/SPP DMA channel via BIOS setup.
2.11 Keyboard and PS/2 mouse connector (CN19)
The PCM-9586 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 selftest (POST) after a reset. The PCM-9586’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.
2.12 Front Panel Connector (CN3)
Next, you may want to install external switches to monitor and control the
PCM-9586. These features are optional: install them only if you need
them. The Front Panel connector (CN3) is a 14-pin male, dual in-line
header. It provides connections for a hard disk access indicator, LAN
Act., LAN Link, hardware reset, ATX power ON/OFF switch connector,
and power on indicator.

Chapter 4 Award BIOS Setup
4.1 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 instructions:
press <F1> to RESUME
Write down the message and press the F1 key to continue the bootup
sequence.
4.1.1 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
