Installation This chapter tells how to set up the PCM-5820 Series hardware, including instructions on setting jumpers and connecting peripherals, switches and indicators. Be sure to read all the safety precautions before you begin the installa- tion procedure.
The table below lists the function of each of the board jumpers and connectors: Table 2-1: Jumpers Label Function Audio power source setting Clear CMOS Watchdog timer action COM2 selector Buzzer setting LCD power selector Ethernet power select (PCM-5822) PCM-5820 Series User's Manual...
Setting jumpers 2.4.1 Introduction You may configure your card to match the needs of your applica- tion 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.
Safety precautions 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 the sudden rush of power. Caution! Always ground yourself to remove any static charge before touching the board.
SODIMM sockets snap into place. 5. Check to ensure that the SODIMM is correctly seated and all connector contacts touch. The SODIMM should not move around in its socket. PCM-5820 Series User's Manual...
Connecting drives is done in a daisy-chain fashion and requires one or two cables, depending on the drive size. All required cables are included in your PCM-5820 Series package. 1.8" and 2.5" drives need a 1 x 44-pin to 2 x 44-pin flat-cable connector. 3.5"...
PC system. Floppy drive connector (CN2) You can attach up to two floppy drives to the the PCM-5820 Series' on-board controller. Any combination of 5¼” (360 KB and 1.2 MB) and/or 3½” (720 KB, 1.44 MB, and 2.88 MB) drives is possible.
Appendix A. 2.10 Parallel port connector (CN3) Normally, the parallel port is used to connect the card to a printer. The PCM-5820 Series includes a multi-mode (ECP/EPP/SPP) parallel port, accessed through CN3 - a 26-pin flat-cable connec- tor.
POST. 2.12 Power connectors 2.12.1 Main power connector +5 V, +12 V (CN9) Supplies main power to the PCM-5820 Series (+5 V) and devices that require +12 V. 2.12.2 Auxilary power connector (CN10) Supplies secondary power to peripherals that require -5 V and -12 V.
CD-ROM drive is suitable for connection to CN1. 2.14.3 Audio power source setting (J1) The PCM-5820 Series is designed to work with a single +5 V power supply as audio interfaces usually function under +5 V. However, most audio controllers require an independant +12 V power source since this avoids noise interference from other digital circuits.
Chapter 6 for audio setup details. 2.15 Serial ports (CN16, CN14) The PCM-5820 Series offers two serial ports: one RS-232 and one RS-232/422/485. These ports allow you to connect to any serial device (a mouse, printers, etc.) or communication network.
Therefore make sure that CN9 is connect- ed to a +12 V power supply. The PCM-5820 Series provides a bias control signal on CN12 which can be used to control the LCD bias voltage. It is recom- mended that the LCD bias voltage not be applied to the panel until the logic supply voltage (+5 V or +3.3 V) and panel video signals...
2.16.3 LCD power setting (J6) The PCM-5820 Series' PCI SVGA interface supports 5 V and 3.3 V LCD displays. By changing the setting of J6, you can select the panel video signal level to be 5 V or 3.3 V.
2.18 Ethernet interface connections The PCM-5820 Series is equipped with a high performance 32-bit PCI Ethernet interface which is fully compliant with IEEE 802.3u 10/100 Mbps CSMA/CD standards. 2.18.1 100Base-T RJ-45 connector (CN13) 100Base-T connections are made via the on-board RJ-45 connec- tor.
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. Setup involves one jumper and running the control software (refer to Appendix C). PCM-5820 Series User's Manual...
IRQ11 * default setting 2.21 USB connectors (CN4) The PCM-5820 Series board provides two USB (Universal Serial Bus) interfaces which gives complete Plug and Play, and hot swaps for up to 127 external devices. The USB interfaces comply with USB specification Rev. 1.0 and are fuse protected.
2.23 ATX power control conn. (CN23, CN24) The PCM-5820 Series offers two serial ports: one RS-232 and one RS-232/422/485. These ports allow you to connect to any serial device (a mouse, printers, etc.) or communication network. 2.23.1 ATX feature connector (CN23) and power...
