PCM-9387 User’s Manual iv

This device complies with the requirements in part
15 of the FCC rules: Operation is subject to the fol­lowing two conditions:

1.This device may not cause harmful interference,
and

2.This device must accept any interference
received, including interference that may cause
undesired operation

This equipment has been tested and found to com­ply with the limits for a Class A digital device, pursu­ant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are
designed to provide reasonable protection against
harmful interference when the equipment is oper­ated in a commercial environment. This equipment
generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency
energy and, if not installed and used in accordance
with the instruction manual, may cause harmful
interference to radio communications. Operation of
this device in a residential area is likely to cause
harmful interference in which case the user will be
required to correct the interference at his/her own
expense. The user is advised that any equipment
changes or modifications not expressly approved
by the party responsible for compliance would void
the compliance to FCC regulations and therefore,
the user's authority to operate the equipment.

Caution!

Achtung!

There is a danger of a new battery exploding if it is
incorrectly installed. Do not attempt to recharge,
force open, or heat the battery. Replace the battery
only with the same or equivalent type recom­mended by the manufacturer. Discard used batter­ies according to the manufacturer’s instructions

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. Short pin 2 and pin 3.

3. Return jumper to pins 1 and 2.

4. Turn on the system. The BIOS is now reset to its default setting

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.

open closed closed 2-3

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

open closed closed 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.

1. Ensure that all power supplies to the system are switched off.

2. Tilt the SODIMM card approximately 25

o

above the board, and
move it in the direction of the housing card slot. Make sure that the key in
the module and the key in the housing are aligned.

3. Push the module into the socket until the module bottoms. There
should be a slight insertion force to engage the module into the contacts.

2.6 IDE, CDROM hard drive connector (CN6)

The board provides 1 IDE channels which you can attach up to two
Enhanced Integrated Device Electronics hard disk drives or CDROM to
the board’s internal controller. Its IDE controller uses a PCI interface.
This advanced IDE controller supports faster data transfer, PIO mode 3,
mode 4 and up to UDMA/33.

2.6.1 Connecting the hard drive

Connecting drives is done in a daisy-chain fashion. This package includes
One 44PIN IDE cable that can connect to 1.8" and 2.5" drives.

1. Connect one end of the cable to Hard Drive connector. 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.

2.7 Solid State Disk

The board provides a CompactFlash™ card type I/II socket .

2.7.1 CompactFlash (CN21)

The CompactFlash card shares a secondary IDE channel which can be
enabled/disabled via the BIOS settings.

2.8 Parallel port connector (CN13)

Normally, the parallel port is used to connect the card to a printer. The
board includes a multi-mode (ECP/EPP/SPP) parallel port accessed via
CN13 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 DMA channel via BIOS setup.

2.9 Keyboard and PS/2 mouse connector (CN14)

The 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-9387’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.

2.10 Power & HDD LED Connector (CN10)

Next, you may want to install external switches to monitor and control the
board. These features are optional: install them only if you need them.
The Power & HDD LED connector is 6-pin Wafer box connector. It pro­vides connections for a power and hard disk access indicator.

2.10.1 Power & HDD LED Connector(CN10)

The HDD LED indicator for hard disk access is an active low signal (24
mA sink rate). Power supply activity LED indicator.

2.10.2 Power Reset button (S2)

Momentarily pressing the reset button will activate a reset. The switch
should be rated for 10 mA, 5 V.

2.11 Power connectors (CN3)

2.11.1 Main power connector, +5 V, +12 V (CN3)

Supplies main power to the PCM-9387 (+5 V), and to devices that require
+12 V.

2.11.2 Fan power supply connector (CN15)

Provides +5V power supply to CPU cooling fan.

2.12 Audio interfaces (CN2)

2.12.1 Audio connector (CN2)

The board provides all major audio signals on a 10-pin cable connector,
These audio signals include Microphone in (mono), Line in (stereo) and
Line out (stereo).

2.13 COM port connector (CN8,CN19)

The PCM-9387 provides two serial ports (COM1: RS-232; COM2: RS­232/422/485) in one DB-9 connector (COM1) and one 14-pin dual-inline,
male header. It provides connections for serial devices (a mouse, etc.) or a
communication network. You can find the pin assignments for the COM
port connector in Appendix C.

2.13.1 COM2 RS-232/422/485 setting (J2)

COM2 can be configured to operate in RS-232, RS-422, or RS-485 mode.
This is done via J2

2.14 VGA/LCD/LVDS interface connections

The board’s PCI SVGA interface can drive conventional CRT displays
and is capable of driving a wide range of flat panel displays, including
passive LCD and active LCD displays. The board has three connectors to
support these displays: one for standard CRT VGA monitors, one for flat
panel displays, and one for LVDS type LCD panels.

2.14.1 CRT display connector (CN18)

The CRT display connector is a 15-pin D-SUB connector used for con­ventional CRT displays.
