Introduction

The PCM-5894 is a Pentium single board computer with one onboard PCI SVGA controller, one PCI Ethernet interface and one PCI expansion slot. Equipped with 64 bits local bus architecture, the PCM-5894 releases Pentium's full potential and provides unprecedented performance compared to current 32-bit processor boards. The PCM-5894 offers all the functions of industrial computer on a single board, but fits in the space of a 5¼" floppy drive (only 5.75" x 8"). For maximum performance, the PCM5894 also supports 2nd level cache 512 KB on board. SSD interface supports one 32-pin DIP socket for M-system DiskOnChip 2000 series, memory capacity from 2 MB to 72MB.

On-board features include four serial ports (three RS-232 and one RS-232/422/485), one multi-mode parallel (ECP/EPP/SPP) port, one floppy drive controller and one keyboard/PS/2 mouse interface. The built-in high speed PCI IDE controller supports both PIO and bus master modes. Up to two IDE devices can be connected, including large hard disks, CD-ROM drives, tape backup drives and other IDE devices.

The PCM-5894 also features power management to minimize power consumption. It complies with the “Green Function” standard and supports three types of power saving features: Doze mode, Standby mode and Suspend mode. In addition, the board’ s watchdog timer can automatically reset the system or generate an interrupt in case the system stops due to a program bug or EMI.

On-board peripherals with true PCI

performance

The PCM-5894 is a highly integrated, all-in-one single board computer. All on-board peripherals (including PCI flat panel/VGA interface, PCI Ethernet and PCI IDE) adopt PCI technology and operate through internal PCI bus. Integrating a Pentium board with PCI architecture has unleashed a revolutionary level of performance. The PCM-5894 is the smallest and most powerful all-in- one Pentium board available.

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.

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.

CPU installing and upgrading

You can upgrade to a higher power Pentium CPU at any time.

Simply remove the old CPU, install the new one, and set the

jumpers for the new CPU type and speed.

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.

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.

When you install a new CPU, be sure to adjust the board settings, such as CPU type and CPU clock. Improper settings may

damage the CPU.

Installing DRAM (SIMMs)

The mainboard provides two 72-pin SIMM (Single In-line Memory Module) sockets and supports either Fast Page Mode (FPM) or Extended Data Output (EDO) DRAM with a speed of at least 70 ns. Unlike most other CPU cards, the mainboard supports both single and dual insertion into the memory bank. Depending on the combination of modules you use, you can install from 1 MB to 128 MB of RAM.

Installing SIMMs

NOTE: The modules can only fit into a socket one way. Their chips must face the CPU, and their gold pins must point down into the SIMM socket.

1. Ensure that all power sources are disconnected.

2. Slip the memory module into the socket at a 45 degree angle.

3. Push the module toward the vertical posts at both ends of the socket until the module is upright, and the retaining clips at both ends of the module click into place. When positioned correctly, the pins on top of the vertical posts should correspond to the circular holes on the ends of the module.

4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 for each module you install.

IDE hard drive connector (CN11)

You can attach one or two Enhanced Integrated Device Electronics hard disk drives to the mainboard's internal controller. The mainboard's IDE controller uses a PCI local-bus interface. This advanced interface supports fster data transfer and allows the IDE hard drive to exceed 528 MB.

Connecting the hard drive

Connecting drives is done in a daisy-chain fashion and requires one of two cables, depending on the drive size. 1.8" and 2.5" drives need a 1 x 44-pin to 2 x 44-pin flat-cable connector. 3.5" drives use a 1 x 44-pin to 2 x 40-pin connect.

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

1. Connect one end of the cable to CN11. 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 to the Enhanced IDE hard drive, with pin 1 one the cable corresponding to pin 1 on the hard drive. (See your hard drive's documentation for the location of the connector).

Connect a second drive as described above. Unlike 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 just on drive, set it as the master.

Floppy drive connector (CN16)

You can attach up to two floppy disks to the mainboard controller. You can use any combination of 5¼" (360 KB and 1.2 MB) and/or 3½" (720 KB, 1.44 MB, and 2.88 MB) drives.

A 34-pin daisy-chain drive connector cable is required for a dualdrive system. On one end of the cable is a 34-pin flat-cable connector. On the other end are two sets of floppy disk drive connectors. Each set consists of a 34-pin flat-cable connector (usually used for 3½" drives) and a printed-circuit board connector (usually used for 5¼" drives).

Connecting the floppy drive

1. Plug the 34-pin flat-cable connector into CN16. Make sure that the red wire corresponds to pin one on the connector.

2. Attach the appropriate connector on th eother 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 the A: drive. The set in the middle connects to the B: drive.

3. If you are connecting a 5¼" floppy drive, line up the slot in the printed circuit board with the blocked-off part of the cable connector.

If you are connecting a 3½"floppy drive, you may have trouble determining which pin is pin number one. Look for a number printed on the circuit board indicating pin number one. Also,

the connector on the floppy drive connector 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.

Keyboard and mouse connector (CN9)

The mainboard provides a keyboard connector which supports both a keyboard and a PS/2 style mouse. In most cases, especially in embedded applications, a keyboard is not used. The standard PC/AT BIOS will report an error or fail during power-on self test (POST) after a reset if the keyboard is not present. The mainboard BIOS Advanced setup menu allows you to select "System Keyboard" under the "Present" or "Absent" selection. This allows nokeyboard operation in embedded system applications without the system halting under POST (power-on-self-test).

Flat panel display connector (CN3)

CN3 consists of a 50-pin, dual-in-line header. Power supplies (+12 V, -12 V) present on CN3 depend on the supply connected to the board. Ensure that both CN8 and CN12 are connected for ±12 V power supply.

The mainboard provides a bias control signal on CN3 which can be used to control the LCD bias voltage. It is recommended that the LCD bias voltage not be applied to the panel until the logic supply voltage (+5 V) and panel video signals are stable. Under normal operation the control signal (ENAVEE) is active high. When the PCM-5894's power is applied, the control signal is low until just after the relevant flat panel signals are present.

CHAPTER

64 PCM-5894 User's Manual

Software drivers

This chapter describes the operation and installation of the software drivers supplied on the Display Driver Diskettes that are shipped with your VGA adapter .

Your VGA adapter is based on the CHIPS VGA Flat Panel/CRT controller and is fully IBM VGA compatible. This controller offers a large set of extended functions and higher resolutions. If you intend to use your VGA adapter in standard VGA modes only, you do not need to install any of these drivers. Since your VGA adapter is fully compatible, it does not require any special drivers to operate in standard modes.

The purpose of the enclosed software drivers is to take advantage of the extended features of the CHIPS VGA Flat Panel/CRT controller.

Hardware configuration

Some of the high-resolution drivers provided in this package will work only in certain system configurations. If a driver does not display correctly, try the following:

1. Change the display controller to CRT-only mode, rather than flat panel or simultaneous display mode. Some high-resolution drivers will display correctly only in CRT mode.

2. If a high-resolution mode is not supported on your system, try using a lower-resolution mode. For example, 1024 x 768 mode will not work on some systems, but 800 x 600 mode is supported on most.

Chapter 4 Driver Installation 65

Necessary prerequisites

The instructions in this manual assume that you understand elementary concepts of MS-DOS and the IBM Personal Computer. Before you attempt to install any driver or utility, you should:

• Know how to copy files from a floppy disk to a directory on the hard disk

• Understand the MS-DOS directory structure

• Know how to format a floppy disk

If you are uncertain about any of these concepts, please refer to the DOS or OS/2 user reference guides for more information, before you proceed with the installation.

Before you begin

Before you begin the driver software installation, you should make backup copies of the Display Driver Diskettes. Store the original disks in a safe place.

Make sure you know the version of the application for which you are installing drivers. Your Display Driver Diskettes contain drivers for several versions of certain applications. For your driver to operate properly, you must install the driver for your version of the application program.

Ethernet software configuration

The mainboard on-board Ethernet interface supports all major network operating systems. I/O addresses and interrupts are easily configured via the BIOS Setup. To configure the medium type, to view the current configuration, or to run diagnostics, do the following:

1. Power the mainboard on. Ensure that the RSET8139.EXE file is located in the working drive.

2. At the prompt type RSET8139.EXE and press <Enter>. The Ethernet configuration program will then be displayed.

3. This simple screen shows all the available options for the Ethernet interface. Just highlight the option you wish to change by using the Up and Down keys. To change a selected item, press <Enter>, and a screen will appear with the available options. Highlight your option and press <Enter>. Each highlighted option has a helpful message guide displayed at the bottom of the screen for additional information.

4. After you have made your selections and your are sure that this is the configuration you want, press ESC. A prompt will appear asking if you want to save the configuration. Press Y if you want to save.

The Ethernet Setup Menu also offers three very useful diagnostic functions. These are:

1. Run EEPROM test

2. Run Diagnostics on Board

3. Run Diagnostics on Network

Each option has its own display screen which shows the format and result of any diagnostic tests undertaken.

Appendix A Programming the Watchdog Timer 89

Programming the

Watchdog Timer

The mainboard is equipped with a watchdog timer that resets the CPU or generates an interrupt if processing comes to a standstill for whatever reason. This feature ensures system reliability in industrial stand-alone and unmanned environments.

APPENDIX

Programming the watchdog timer

An on-board watchdog timer reduces the chance of disruptions which EMP (electro-magnetic pulse) interference can cause. This is an invaluable protective device for standalone or unmanned applications. When the watchdog timer activates(CPU processing has come to a halt), it can reset the system, or generate an interrupt on IRQ10, IRQ11, IRQ15, NMI. This can be set via I/O Port 444, the functions as following:

0 : RESET 1 : IRQ10 2 : IRQ15 3 : IRQ11 4 : NMI

If you decide to program the watchdog timer, you must write data to I/O port 443 (hex). The output data is a value timer. You can write from 80 (hex) to FF (hex) for input minute data plus from 00 (hex) to 7F (hex) for input second data, and the related timer is 2 second to 127 minutes plus 127 seconds sec.

After data entry, your program must refresh the watchdog timer by rewriting the I/O port 443 (hex) while simultaneously setting it. When you want to disable the watchdog timer, your program should write I/O port 80 (hex) a Hex value.

Appendix A Programming the Watchdog Timer 91

The following procedure is a sample program for the watchdog timer:

• Type C:\DOS\Debug <ENTER>

• To start watchdog timer and set function "Reset" type;

o 444 0 <Enter>; out 444h data 0

• To input watchdog timers time-out interval of 3 minutes type;

o 443 83 <Enter>; o 443 0 <ENTER>; out 443h data 83

• To input Watchdog timers time-out interval of 5 seconds type;

o 443 05 <Enter>; out 443h data 05

• To disable the watchdog timer type;

o 80 x <Enter>; out 080h data x (x can be any Hex value)

The time interval data of the watchdog timer is shown in binary code (8 bits).

If bit 8 is "1" = T o input "minute" If bit 8 is "0" = T o input "second" Sample 1: 3 minutes

Sample 2: 5 seconds
