2.4 Installing the CPU The POS-560-B1 all-in-one CPU module supports most 586 CPUs. The system's performance depends upon the installed CPU. You can install or upgrade the CPU in the board's ZIF socket by following the procedures outlined below.
When you install a new CPU, you may have to adjust other settings on the board, including CPU type, CPU clock, and PCI speed. Make sure that the settings are correct for your CPU. Improper settings may damage the CPU. POS-560-B1 User's Manual...
2.5 Setting Jumpers You configure your board 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.

You can install up to 64 MB of SIMM DRAM on each socket for a total of 128 MB DRAM with two sockets filled. The POS-560-B1 can also support single SIMM operation. However, DRAM size and type must match when installing two SIMMs in each socket.
DIMM DRAM (DIMM 1) You can also install one 168-pin DIMM (up to 32 MB DRAM) in the DIMM socket. The POS-560-B1 can operate with only DIMM DRAM installed. Note that the POS-560-B1 cannot support SDRAM-type DIMM modules with the CPU clock speed running at 75 MHz.
2.10 Floppy Drive Connector (JP13) You can attach up to two floppy disks to the POS-560-B1'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.
IRQ11. You can select the LPT1 SPP/EPP/ECP selection and enable/disable from BIOS (see Chapter 4). 2.13 Keyboard Connector (CN1, CN5, CN6) The POS-560-B1 is uniquely designed to allow several ways for keyboard input: 1) External mini-DIN jack (CN1) 2) External mini-DIN...
Note than only one input source can be used at a given time. They cannot be used simultaneously. Choices 3, 4 and 5 are provided for the convenience of the system designer using POS-560-B1. For example, choice 2 would be good for an All-in-one system...
HDD active LED LED2 Ethernet LED The POS-560-B1 can drive an 8 Ω speaker at 0.5 watts. Ensure that alternatives to this specification do not overload the board. The front panel LED indicator for hard disk access is an active low signal (24 mA sink rate).
+5 V/ +12 V/ GND pins. See Appendix B for pin assignments. 2.18 Serial Ports (COM1 - 4) The POS-560-B1 has a total of four on-board RS-232 serial ports, COM1 - 4. They are differentiated by COM1 and COM2 as primary serial ports and COM4 (RS-232/422/485) and COM3 as secondary ports.
RS-232 serial ports (COM1 - 4) +5 V and +12 V power selection (JP24/25/26/27) All COM ports on the POS-560-B1 have +5 V or +12 V capability on Pin 1 and Pin 9, depending on where you set the jumpers. You can also select no power on all COM ports if you do not set any jumpers.
10-11 10-11 2.20 VGA Interface Connections The POS-560-B1's SVGA interface can drive conventional CRT displays and is capable of driving a wide range of flat panel displays, including electroluminescent (EL), gas plasma, passive LCD and active LCD displays. The board has two connectors to support these displays, one for standard CRT VGA monitors and one for flat panel displays.
(For more information on LCD connection information between CN13 and LCD, refer to Chapter 3). Flat panel display 3.3 V/5 V selection The POS-560-B1 is jumper selectable to support either 3.3 V or 5 V LCD to the V voltage line.
2.21 Digital I/O (CN2: 2 Outputs, 4 Inputs) The POS-560-B1 has two high drive digital outputs (50 V , 2 A max) and four digital inputs (TTL level). You can configure the digital I/O to control the opening of the cash drawer and to sense the closing of the cash drawer.
Digital output solenoid wiring examples: The POS-560-B1's CN2 digital I/O connector contains a power pin for +5 and +12 V. +5 V is on pin 2 and +12 V is on pin 10. Example: V c c +12V (Pin #10)
Note: The INPUT signal must be TTL compatible. 2.23 Ethernet Configuration The POS-560-B1 is equipped with a high performance 16-bit Ethernet interface which is fully compliant with IEEE 802.3 10Mbps CSMA/CD standards. It is supported by all major network operating systems and is 100% Novell NE-2000 compatible.
I/O devices. 10BASE-T connector (UT1) 10BASE-T connects to the POS-560-B1 via an adapter cable to the RJ-45 standard jack (UT1) located at the rear of the board. Network boot The Network Boot feature is built into the BIOS.
Memory devices The Flash/ROM disk supports the following memory devices, DiskOnChip 2000 series, or their equivalents: • 27C010 128 Kb x 8 EPROM • 27C040 512 Kb x 8 EPROM • 29C010 128 Kb x 8 +5 V Flash Memory (ATMEL only) •...
The SSD occupies a window in the memory address range of D000: 0000-1FFF. Positions 3 and 4 on SW1 enable/disable the Flash/ROM disk’s memory address. If you select “Disabled”, the disk will not function. Table 2-21: Memory address selection Position 3 Position 4 SSD Function Disabled Enabled POS-560-B1 User's Manual...
Positions 5 and 6 of SW1 control the DOS drive emulated by the Flash/ROM disk: 1st, 2nd, 3rd or 4th. Table 2-22: Drive emulation Position 5 Position 6 Drive The actual drive letter assigned by DOS to the Flash/ROM disk depends on the floppy or hard disks installed in the system.
Inserting memory devices After you have set all the jumpers and switches on the POS-560-B1, insert the appropriate memory devices into the card’s sockets. Remember that you will need to program EPROMs before you insert them. POS-560-B1 User's Manual...
1. Make sure that the pins of the memory chips are perpendicular to the case and both rows are parallel to each other. Many times the chips come with the pins spread out slightly. Place the chip on a table top and carefully bend each line of pins together until they point directly down.
Note: Due to limitations in the POS-560-B1 system chipset, the POS-560-B1 USB interface cannot be used with a USB keyboard under a DOS environment, since the system will hang. When the same USB peripheral is used under a Windows 95 (OSR2) or a Windows NT environment, the system works fine.
Software Configuration This chapter details the software configu- ration information. It shows you how to configure the card to match your applica- tion requirements. AWARD System BIOS is covered in Chapter 4. Sections include: • VGA display software configuration • Connections for three standard LCDs •...
3.1 Introduction The POS-560-B1 system BIOS and custom drivers are located in a 128 KB, 32-pin (JEDEC spec.) Flash ROM device, designated U15. A single Flash chip holds the system BIOS, VGA BIOS, and network Boot ROM image. The display can be configured via software.
