Compact Board PCM-9452

1.1 Introduction

The PCM-9452 supports Intel® CoreTM 2 Duo (Merom)/ CoreTM Duo/
Celeron

®

M processors offering a wide range of performance, price
and power. Memory support for up to 4GB of DDRII 400/533/667
is available through two 200-pin SODIMM sockets. Dual Ethernet
connectivity is achieved by employing Intel

®

82573L
10/100/1000Base-TX Ethernet controllers. To meet demanding
expansion requirements the PCM-9452 offers Mini PCI, PCI and
PCI-Express[x16]. In addition, the PCM-9452 features six USB2.0
ports, 8-bit digital I/O (programmable) and four COM ports. With
all of the available I/O connections and bus expansion, the
PCM-9452 is an excellent solution for an integrated system.

The display interface of the PCM-9452 supports CRT/LCD, CR T/T V,
LCD/TV in simultaneous and dual view configurations. The LCD
interface is 18-bit dual channel LVDS. Paired with a dual core CPU,
the integrated graphics engine provides exceptional 3D graphic
performance. For higher end graphic applications the PCM-9452
offers expandability through the PCI-Express[x16] slot. Whether
your application utilizes the integrated graphics or uses an add-on
card for more demanding multimedia applications the PCM-9452 is
a solid performer.

2.1 Safety Precautions

Always completely disconnect the power cord
from your board whenever you are working on
it. Do not make connections while the power is
on, because a sudden rush of power can
damage sensitive electronic components.

Always ground yourself to remove any static
charge before touching the 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

2.6 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 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.

1

Open C losed 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 change.

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

Chapter 3 Award BIOS Setup 3-1

Compact Board PCM-9452

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 instructions:

Press <F1> to RESUME
Write down the message and press the F1 key to continue

the boot up sequence.

System configuration verification

These routines check the current system configuration
against the values stored in the 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
information has been erased.

The PCM-9452 CMOS memory has an integral lithium
battery backup for data retention. However, you will need to
replace the complete unit when it finally runs down.

Chapter 3 Award BIOS Setup 3-2

3.2 Award BIOS Setup

Awards BIOS ROM has a built-in Setup program that allows
users to modify the basic system configuration. This type of
information is stored in battery-backed CMOS RAM so that it
retains the Setup information when the power is turned off.

Entering Setup

Power on the computer and press <Del> immediately. This
will allow you to enter Setup.

Standard CMOS Features

Use this menu for basic system configuration. (Date, time,

IDE, etc.)

Advanced BIOS Features

Use this menu to set the advanced features available on your
system.

Advanced Chipset Features

Use this menu to change the values in the chipset registers
and optimize your system performance.

Integrated Peripherals

Use this menu to specify your settings for integrated
peripherals. (keyboard, mouse etc.)

Power Management Setup

Use this menu to specify your settings for power
management. (HDD power down, power on by ring, KB wa ke
up, etc.)

Appendix A Programming the Watchdog Timer A - 1

Compact Board PCM-9452

A.1 Programming

PCM-9452 utilizes ITE 8712 chipset as its watchdog timer
controller. ( K version )

Below are the procedures to complete its configuration and
the AAEON intial watchdog timer program is also attached
based on which you can develop customized program to fit
your application.

Configuring Sequence Description

After the hardware reset or power-on reset, the ITE 8712
enters the normal mode with all logical devices disabled
except KBC.

Appendix A Programming the Watchdog Timer A - 2

Compact Board PCM-9452

There are three steps to complete the configuration setup: (1)
Enter the MB PnP Mode; (2) Modify the data of configuration
registers; (3) Exit the MB PnP Mode. Undesired result may
occur if the MB PnP Mode is not exited normally.

(1) Enter the MB PnP Mode

To enter the MB PnP Mode, four special I/O write operations
are to be performed during Wait for Key state. To ensure the
initial state of the key-check logic, it is necessary to perform
four write opera-tions to the Special Address port (2EH). Two
different enter keys are provided to select configuration ports
(2Eh/2Fh) of the next step.

Address Port Data Port

87h, 01h, 55h, 55h: 2Eh 2Fh

(2) Modify the Data of the Registers

All configuration registers can be accessed after entering the
MB PnP Mode. Before accessing a selected register, the
content of Index 07h must be changed to the LDN to which
the register belongs, except some Global registers.

(3) Exit the MB PnP Mode

Set bit 1 of the configure control register (Index=02h) to 1 to
exit the MB PnP Mode.
