CHAPTER 2 Installation This chapter explains the setup procedures of CPC-2245 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.
2.1 Jumpers and connectors On-board connectors link to external devices such as hard disk drives, keyboards, floppy drives, and so on. In addition, the board has jumpers for configuring your board for specific applications. The table below lists the function of each of the board’s jumpers and connectors. Later sections in this chapter give detailed information on each jumper setting, and instructions for connecting external devices to your card.
2.
2.3 10 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.
2.4 Setting jumpers You may configure your card to match the needs of your application by setting jumpers. A jumper is the simplest kind of electrical 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.
2.4.1 Clear CMOS (J2) 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. Short pin 2 and pin 3. 3. Turn on the system. The CMOS is now cleared. 4. Turn off the system. Short pin 1 and pin 2. 5. Turn on the system. The BIOS is now reset to its default setting. Table 2-2: Clear CMOS (J2) Function Protect* Clear CMOS 1-2 Closed Open 2-3 Open Closed * default setting 2.
2.6 ISA/IDE/floppy drive/parallel port (CN3) The CPC-2245 provides a +5 V 16-bit ISA bus, one IDE channel (support two IDE devices), one parallel interface and one floppy interface (support two floppy drives). All these are provided via a 144-pin SODIMM gold finger (CN3), which can be plugged into a DODIMM socket on the user's system board. Users can choose suitable positions on their system board for their HDD, FDD or parallel connectors.
