1. Note: The PPC-E5 requires less than 2 amps typical which is not enough current to load the main switcher in some larger PC power supplies (this can be verified with a voltmeter measuring the 5 volt supply).
Serial Ports The PPC-E5 is equipped with four serial ports, two which are used for on-board functionality, and two which are available to the user. COM1 and COM2 are used on-board for the SLCC and the touchscreen controller respectively.
Sound and LCD Contrast Controller (SLCC) The contrast and on-board Speaker volume are software settable via the on-board Sound and LCD Contrast Controller (SLCC). Following is the description of the serial data strings that the SLCC accepts and returns. In the description, XX or xx represent valid hexadecimal numbers in the range 00 to FF and YYYY or yyyy represent valid hexadecimal words in the range 0000 to FFFF, and AA or aa represent a valid hexadecimal address from 00 to 3F.
(CN3) through the use of the included Y cable. Disk-On-Chip Flash Disk The PPC-E5 comes with a 16 Meg. DOC and 16 Meg. of RAM. The DOC and RAM can be increased to 32 Meg. Optionally. The DOC is a solid state flash disk and as such is extremely rugged when compared to a conventional hard drive.
PPC-E5 BIOS Defaults The PPC-E5 uses a General Software BIOS. To enter the BIOS you must press the <Del> key when prompted. The following BIOS screen shots indicate the BIOS options and the default factory values of each option. Note: these factory set options should not require changing.
