CN2 1
DI MM1
You configure your board 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 ìcloseî a jumper you
connect the pins with the clip. To ìopenî 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.
13Chapter 2
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.
2.4 CPU
There are 4 CPU can be on-board. ULV Intel Celeron 400/650 and LV
Intel Pentium III 800/933.
Warning!Always disconnect the power cord from your
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
PCM-3370 User’s Manual14
Caution!Always ground yourself to remove any static
charge before touching the PC board. 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.
Warning!To avoid damaging the computer, always turn off
the power supply before setting “Clear CMOS.”
Set the jumper back to “3V Battery On” before
turning on the power supply.

minimizes the number of chips and eases configuration. You can change
the display BIOS simply by reprogramming the Flash chip.
3.2 VGA display firmware configuration
The PCM-3370’s on-board VGA interface supports a wide range of popular LCD, EL, gas plasma flat panel displays and traditional analog CRT
monitors. The optimized shared memory architecture supports an 8/16/32
MB frame buffer using system memory to provide resolutions of 1280 x
1024 @ 16 bpp, the interface can drive CRT displays with resolutions up
to 1024 x 768 @ 16 bpp and 800 x 600 @ 16 bpp.
The VGA interface is configured completely via the software utility, so
you do not have to set any jumpers. Configure the VGA display as follows:
1.Apply power to the PCM-3370 with a color TFT display attached.
This is the default setting for the PCM-3370. Ensure that the AWDFLASH.EXE and *.BIN files are located in the working drive.
