Parallel port connector (CN19)
Normally, the parallel port is used to connect the card to a printer.
The PCM-5862E/5862EL includes a multi-mode (ECP/EPP/SPP)
parallel port, accessed through CN19, a 26-pin flat-cable connector.
You will need an adapter cable if you use a traditional DB-25
connector. The adapter cable has a 26-pin connector on one end and
a DB-25 connector on the other.
The parallel port is designated as LPT1 and can be disabled or
changed to LPT2 or LPT3 in the system BIOS setup.
The parallel port interrupt channel is designated to be IRQ7.
You can select ECP/EPP DMA channel via BIOS setup.
Keyboard and PS/2 mouse connector (CN15)
The PCM-5862E/5862EL board provides a keyboard connector
that 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 PCM-5862E/5862EL's BIOS standard setup menu
allows you to select "All, But Keyboard" under the "Halt On"
selection. This allows no-keyboard operation in embedded system
applications without the system halting under POST (power-on-
self-test).
Front panel connector (CN7)
Next, you may want to install external switches to monitor and
control the PCM-5862E/5862EL. These features are optional —
install them only if you need them. The front panel connector
(CN7) is an 8-pin male, dual in-line header and provides
connections for a speaker, hard disk access indicator, watchdog
output and an input switch for resetting the card.
