2.4 Setting Jumpers

You may configu re you r 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 pro tected
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.

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

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.

15 Chapter 2

2.5 Clear CMOS (J3)

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 J3

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 mem ory mod ule, just push both handles outward, and the
module will be ejected from the socket.

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.”

PCM-9587 User’s Manual 16

2.7 IDE, CDROM hard drive connector (CN15)

The PCM-9587 provides 1 IDE channels which you can attach up to two
Enhanced Integrated Device Electronics hard disk drives or CDROM to
the PCM-9587’s internal controller. The PCM-9587's IDE controller uses
a PCI interface. This advanced IDE controller supports faster data trans­fer, PIO mode 3, mode 4 and UDMA/100.

2.7.1 Connecting the hard drive

Wire number 1 on the cable is red or blue, and the other wires are gray.

1. Connect one end of the cable to CN15. 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.)

2.8 Solid State Disk

The PCM-9587 provides a CompactFlash™ card socket.

2.8.1 CompactFlash (CN30)

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

2.9 Floppy drive connector (CN14)

You can attach up to two flo ppy drives to the PCM-9587’s on-board con­troller. This is useful with 34 pin dual FDD cable (part no:1701340603).

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. An appropriate 34 pin flat
cable is required.

2.9.1 Connecting the floppy drive

1. Plug the 34-pin dual FDD-cable connector into CN14 of PCM-

9587 board. Make sure that the red wire corresponds to pin one on
the connector.

17 Chapter 2

2. 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.

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 B.

2.10 Parallel port connector (CN16)

Normally, the parallel port is used to connect the card to a printer. The
PCM-9587 includes a multi-mode (ECP/EPP/SPP) parallel port accessed
via CN16 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 (CN27)

The PCM-9587 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-9587’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.

mA sink rate). Power supply activity LED indicator.

2.12.2 Reset switch (pin 13-14 of CN22)

If you install a reset switch, it should be an open single pole switch.
Momentarily pressing the switch will activate a reset. The switch should
be rated for 10 mA, 5 V.

2.13 Power connectors (CN25,CN5)

2.13.1 ATX power connector, +5V (CN5)

Supplies main power to the PCM-9587 (+5V) and to devices that require
it.

2.13.2 CPU Fan power supply connector (CN25)

Provides power supply +12V to CPU cooling fan, and fan speed detects
signal input.

2.14 ATX power ON/OFF switch con. pin 11-12 of CN22

2.14.1 ATX feature (CN5) & soft power switch (CN22)

The PCM-9587 can support an advanced soft power switch function, if an
ATX power supply is used. To enable the soft power switch function con­nect the power on/off button to CN22. (A momentary type of button
should be used.)

Important

Make sure that the ATX power supply can take
at least a 10 mA load on the 5 V standby lead
(5VSB). If not, you may have difficulty power­ing on your system.

The PCM-9587 provides all major audio signals on a 16-pin flat-cable
connector, CN4. The audio signals include Microphone in (mono), Line
in (stereo), Line out (stereo) and Speaker out (stereo). You will need an
adapter cable if you use traditional jack connectors for these audio sig­nals.

2.15.2 CD audio-in connector (CN3)

All CD-ROM drives can provide analog audio signal output when used as
a music CD player. The CN3 on PCM-9587 is a connector to input CD
audio signal into the audio controller. The audio cable of your CD-ROM
drive will be used to connect to CN3.

2.16 COM port connector (CN21)

The PCM-9587 provides four RS-232 serial ports (COM1,3,4:RS-232,
COM2: RS-232/422/485) in one COM port connector. The COM port
connector is a 40-pin, 20*2P 180D(M) 2.0mm, connector. 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. COM2 can be configured to operate in RS-232,RS-422, or
RS-485 mode. This is done via J5.

2.17 VGA/LVDS interface connections (CN7, CN8,CN9)

The PCM-9587’s AGP SVGA interface can drive conventional CRT dis­plays and is capable of driving a wide range of LVDS flat panel displays.
The board has three connectors to support these displays: one for standard
CRT VGA monitors, one for LVDS type LCD panels and one for DVI
type LCD panels.

2.17.1 CRT display connector (CN7)
