Introduction

Mitsubishi Electric Automation MEAU now offers the MC Series Industrial Com­puter products to comply with the demands of most every factory application.
The MEAU brand of computer’s offer the extreme reliability, and feature sets
that OEM’s, and end users have come to expect with Mitsubishi Electric Auto­mation products.

The MEAU MC Series Industrial Computer line is designed for harsh plant
environments, with rugged materials to withstand the daily riggers of opera­tion. Designed with component longevity in mind, and to accommodate the
fast rate of change in computer technology, our computer products employ
competent component performance ranges for industrial applications. This
ensures the long term acquisition of components, and repeatability of product,
along with true forward/backward compatibility.

In keeping with these performance demands, the CM33-TL Embedded Sys­tem Board has been installed in your MC400 Series Industrial Node Computer.
The CM33-TL is a Micro ATX Style CPU Card for a Single Intel® Pentium® III
Processor in a 370-pin socket.

This manual provides you with the information you need to configure the CM33­TL and get your MC400 Series Computer up and running in accordance with
your application requirements.

Safety Precautions

Follow the precautions below to avoid damaging your system:

1. Keep your system away from static electricity at all times.

2. Prevent electric shock. Don‘t touch any components of this card when
the card is powered on. Always disconnect power when the system is
not in use.

3. Disconnect power when you change any hardware device. For
instance, when you connect a jumper or install any cards, a surge of
power may damage the electronic components or the whole system.

USB Ports

The system board supports 2 USB ports. Two onboard USB ports are located
at the ATX double deck ports of the board. USB allow data exchange between
your computer and a wide range of simultaneously accessible external Plug
and Play peripherals.

Desktop Management Interface (DMI)

The system board comes with a DMI 2.0 built into the BIOS. The DMI utility in
the BIOS automatically records various information about your system con­figuration and stores this information in the DMI pool, which is a part of the
system board’s Plug and Play BIOS. DMI, along with the appropriately net­worked software, is designed to make inventory, maintenance and trouble­shooting of computer systems easier. Refer to Chapter 4 for instructions on
using the DMI utility.

System Health Monitor Functions

The system board is capable of monitoring the following “system health” con­ditions.

• Monitor CPU/system temperature and overheat alarm

• Monitors VCORE/3.3V/5V/12V/2.5V voltages and failure alarm

• Monitors CPU/chassis fan speed and failure alarm

• Automatic CPU and chassis fans on/off control

• Read back capability that displays temperature, voltage and fan

speed

Refer to the “PC Health Status” section in chapter 3 and the “VIA Hardware
Monitor” section in chapter 4 for more information.

Automatic CPU/Chassis Fan Off

The CPU and chassis fans will automatically turn off once the system enters
the Suspend mode.

1 INTRODUCTION

Dual Function Power Button

Depending on the setting in the “Soft-Off by PWRBTN” field of the Power Man­agement Setup, this switch will allow the system to enter the Soft-Off or Sus­pend Mode.

AC Power Failure Recovery

When power returns after an AC power failure, you may choose to either power­on the system manually, let the system power-on automatically or return to the
state where you left off before power failure occurred. Refer to “PWR Lost
Resume State” in the Power Management Setup section in Chapter 3 for more
information.

Virus Protection

Most viruses today destroy data stored in hard drives, The system board is
designed to protect the boot sector and partition table of your hard disk drive.

2 HARDWARE INSTALLATION

WARNING: Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage your system board,
processor, disk drives, add-in boards, and other components. Perform
the upgrade instruction procedures described at an ESD workstation only.
If such a station is not available, you can provide some ESD protection by
wearing an antistatic wrist strap and attaching it to a metal part of the
system chassis. If a wrist strap is unavailable, establish and maintain
contact with the system chassis throughout any procedures requiring
ESD protection.

System Memory

The system board is equipped with two 168-pin DIMM (Dual In-line Memory
Module) sockets that support VCM or PC SDRAM DIMM. PC SDRAM (Syn­chronous Dynamic Random Access Memory) uses a fast memory interface
technology that includes using the clock on the chip to synchronize with the
CPU clock so that the timing of the memory chips and the timing of the CPU
are synchronized. This saves time during transmission of data, subsequently
increasing system performance.

Refer to Chapter 1 (System Memory section)
for detailed specification of the memory sup­ported by the system board.

Installing the DIM Module
A DIM Module simply snaps into a DIMM
socket on the system board. Pin 1 of the DIM
module must correspond with Pin 1 of the
socket.

1. Pull the “tabs,” located at the end of
the socket, to the side

2. Position the DIMM above the socket with the “notches” in the module
aligned with the “keys” on the socket.

3. Seat the module vertically into the socket. Make sure it is completely
seated. The tabs will hold the DIMM in place.

2 HARDWARE INSTALLATION

Jumper Settings for Clearing the
CMOS Data

If you encounter the following: a)
CMOS data becomes corrupted; b)
Supervisor or User Password is for­gotten; c) Unable to boot-up the com­puter system because the
processor’s bus clock was incorrectly
set in the BIOS, you can reconfigure
the system with the default values
stored in the ROM BIOS.

To load the default values stored in
the ROM BIOS, please follow the
steps below.

1. Power-off the system and
unplug the power cord.

2. Set JP3 pins 2 and 3 to ON.
Wait for a few seconds and
set JP3 back to its default
setting, pins 1 and 2 ON.

3. Plug the power cord and power-on the system.

If your reasons for clearing the CMOS data is due to incorrect setting

of the processor’s bus clock in the BIOS, proceed to step 4.

4. After powering-on the system, press <Del> to enter the main menu of
the BIOS.

5. Select the “Frequency/Voltage Control” submenu and press <Enter>.

6. Set the “Clock By Slight Adjust” field to its default setting or an
appropriate bus clock. Refer to “Clock by Slight Adjust” in the
“Frequency/Voltage Control” section in Chapter 3 for more informa­tion.

7. Press <Esc> to return to the main menu of the BIOS setup utility.
Select “save & Exit Setup” and press <Enter>.

8. Type <Y> and press <Enter>.

PS/2 Mouse and PS/2 Keyboard Ports

The system board is equipped with onboard PS/2 Mouse (Green) and PS/2
Keyboard (Purple) ports — both at location J1 of the ATX double deck ports of
the system board. The PS/2 mouse port uses IRQ12. If a mouse is not con­nected to this port, the system will reserve IRQ12 for other expansion cards.

Caution: Make sure to turn off your computer prior to connecting or dis­connecting a mouse or keyboard. Failure to do so may damage the sys­tem board.

Parallel Port

The system board has a standard parallel port (J9 - Burgundy) located at the
ATX double deck ports of the board for interfacing your PC to a parallel printer.
It supports Normal, ECP and EPP modes. You can set the port’s mode in the
Integrated Peripherals submenu of the BIOS.

Setting Function

Normal Allows normal speed operation but in

one direction only.
ECP (Extended
Capabilities Port) Allows parallel port to operate in bidirectional mode

and at a speed faster than the SPP’s data

transfer rate

EPP (Enhanced Allows bidirectional parallel port operation at
Parallel Port) maximum speed.
