Introduction This chapter tells how to set up the PCM-4141 hardware. It includes instructions on setting jumpers and connecting peripherals, switches and indicators. Make sure you read all the safety precautions before you begin the installation procedure.
Chapter 2 Introduction 2.1 Connectors The board has a number of connectors that allow you to configure your system to suit your application. The tables below shows the function of each of the board's connectors:. Table 2.1: Connectors Label Function System reset connector Primary IDE 44-pin connector RS422/485 connector...
2.2 Locating connectors Warning: Make sure you use the correct component side. Improper installation can cause serious damage to your hardware! Figure 2.1: Locating connectors (component side) Chapter 2...
2.3 Installation Procedures Warning: Always completely disconnect the power cord from your board whenever you are working on it. Do not make connections while the power is on, because sensitive electronic components can be damaged by a sudden rush of power. Caution: Always ground yourself to remove any static charge before touching the board.
2.6 Serial ports (CN8) The PCM-4141 offers four serial ports, three RS-232. These ports allow you to connect to any serial device (a mouse, printers, etc.) or communi- cation network. 2.6.1 COM1,COM2,COM3,COM4 RS-232 port (CN8) The serial port connector's consist of a 10-pin dual-in-line pin head hous- ing.
Connect one end of the cable to CN2. 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). 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.
Detailed information on pin assignments for CRT display connector CN13 is given in Appendix C. 2.12 Reset button connector (CN1) If you install a reset button, it should be a single pole switch rated at 5 V. Momentarily pressing the button will activate a reset. For reset button pin assignments, please see Appendix C.
2.15 Floppy (CN19) You can attach one 3.5" floppy drive to the PCM-4141's onboard control- ler. This is useful for notebooks, for example. A daisy-chain drive cable converter (part no. 9681000044E) is required for a single floppy system. A 34-pin flat-cable connector is fitted on one end of the cable converter, while the other end has one floppy disk drive connector.

Chapter 3 Software Configuration 3.1 Introduction The PCM-4141 system BIOS and custom drivers are located in a 256 KB, 32-pin (JEDEC spec.) Flash ROM device. A single Flash chip holds the system BIOS and VGA BIOS. The display can be configured via CMOS settings.
ENAB M/(DE) VDD 5V LCD VDD(+5V) VDD 5V LCD VDD(+5V) 3.3 Ethernet software configuration The PCM-4141 is onboard Ethernet interface supports all major network operating systems. To configure the medium type, to view the current configuration, or to run diagnostics, do the following: Power the PCM-4141 on.

Chapter 4 Award BIOS Setup 4.1 System test and initialization These routines test and initialize board hardware. If the routines encoun- ter an error during the tests, you will either hear a few short beeps or see an error message on the screen. There are two kinds of errors: fatal and non-fatal.
CMOS Data Backup Because CMOS memory retention and integrity is especially critical for normal startup, original CMOS memory values stored in the BIOS Flash memory allow system boots to proceed normally. This is especially criti- cal in unmanned applications where system monitoring is not convenient. This data redundancy (backup) combined with error detecting capability make for more stable and reliable systems.

4.2.8 Load BIOS defaults Auto Configuration loads the default system values directly from ROM. If the stored record created by the setup program becomes corrupted (and therefore unusable), these defaults will load automatically when you turn the PCM-4141 on. Two settings can be used here: Fail-Safe or Optimized. Figure 4.8: Load BIOS Defaults PCM-4141 User Manual...
4.2.9 Change password To change the password, choose the Set Password option form the Award BIOS setup utility menu, and press <Enter>. If the CMOS is bad or this option has never been used, a default password is stored in the ROM. The screen will display the following message: Press <Enter>.
4.2.10 Save settings and exit If you select this option and press <Enter>, the values entered in the setup utilities will be recorded in the chipsetís CMOS memory. The micropro- cessor will check this every time you turn your system on, and compare this to what it finds as it checks the system.
4.2.11 Exit without saving Selecting this option and pressing <Enter> lets you exit the Setup pro- gram without recording any new values or changing old ones. Figure 4.10: Exit without saving Chapter 4...
Chapter 5 VGA Setup 5.1 Introduction The PCM-4141 has an on-board VGA interface. The specifications and features are described as follows: 5.1.1 Chipset The PCM-4141 uses a Atlas STPC for its VGA controller, which supports conventional analog CRT monitors. In addition, it also supports inter- laced and non-interlaced analog monitors (color and monochrome VGA) in high-resolution modes while maintaining complete IBM VGA compat- ibility.

Programming the Watchdog Timer The PCM-4141 is equipped with a watchdog timer that resets the CPU or generates an interrupt if processing comes to a standstill for any reason. This feature ensures system reliability in industrial standalone or unmanned environments.
Appendix A Programming the Watchdog Timer A.1 Programming the watchdog timer The default configuration of the timer is enabled with system reset. To enable the watchdog timer, you must make a program which writes 1 to I/O port address 370 (hex) at regular intervals. The first time your pro- gram reads the port, it enables the watchdog timer.
