CHAPTER General Information 1 This chapter provides background information for the PCM-3335.
Introduction The PCM-3335 comes equipped with an embedded microcontroller ALI M6117 which is Intel 386SX-40 compatible. In addition, it comes with two serial ports (RS-232), one bi-directional printer port supporting SPP, ECP and EPP modes, an IDE HDD interface and a floppy disk controller. With its industrial grade reliability, the PCM3335 can operate continuously at temperatures up to 140º F (60º C).

CHAPTER Installation 2 This chapter explains set up procedures for the PCM-3335 hardware, including instructions on setting jumpers and connecting peripherals, switches and indicators. Be sure to read all safety precautions before you begin the installation procedure.
Jumpers and connectors Connectors on the board link it to external devices such as hard disk drives, a keyboard, or floppy drives. In addition, the board has a number of jumpers that allow you to configure your system to suit your application. The table below lists the function of each of the board jumpers and connectors: Jumpers and connectors Number HARD CON. FLOPPY CON. FLAT PANEL CON. PRINTER PORT COM2 COM1 VGA CON. CN2 CN1 PS2 KB CN4, CN6 HD-LED RST SW.

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.
Safety precautions Warning! Always completely disconnect the power cord from your chassis whenever you are working on it. Do not make connections while the power is on because 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 CPU card. Modern electronic devices are very sensitive to static electric charges.
IDE hard drive connections (HARD CON.) You can attach two Enhanced Integrated Device Electronics hard disk drives to the PCM-3335's internal controller. The card comes with a 40-pin flat cable. 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 the IDE 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.
Pin assignments The following table lists the pin numbers and their respective signals: IDE Connector (HARD CON.) Pin 1 3 5 7 9 11 13 15 17 19 21 23 25 27 29 31 33 35 37 39 41 43 Signal Reset D7 D6 D5 D4 D3 D2 D1 D0 GND N.C, IOW IOR IORDY N.C.

Floppy drive connections (FLOPPY CON.) You can attach up to two floppy disks to the PCM-3335's on-board 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. The PCM-3335 CPU card comes with a 34-pin daisy-chain drive connector cable. On one end of the cable is a 34-pin flat-cable connector. There are two sets of floppy disk drive connectors, one in the middle, and one on the other end.
Parallel port (PRINTER PORT) Normally, the parallel port is used to connect the card to a printer. The PCM-3335 includes an on-board parallel port, accessed through PRINTER PORT, and a 26-pin flat-cable connector. The CPU card comes with an adapter cable, which lets you use a traditional DB-25 connector. The cable has a 26-pin connector on one end and a DB-25 connector on the other, mounted on a retaining bracket.
Power supply connections (CN4, CN6) Power supply connector In single board computer (non-passive backplane) applications, you will need to connect power directly to the PCM-3335 board using CN4 and CN6. This connector is fully compatible with the standard PC power supply connectors.
Display connections (VGA CON., FLAT PANEL CON.) The PCM-3335 CPU card's SVGA connector (VGA CON.) with PCI bus supports monochrome display as well as high resolution color displays. The card also features an LCD connector (FLAT PANEL CON.), which allows you to connect various flat panel displays. The following table lists their pin assignments: LCD connector (FLAT PANEL CON.
