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.
4. Gently push the SODIMMinto a perpendicular position until the clips on the ends of the SODIMMsockets snap into place. 5. Check to ensure that the SODIMMis correctly seated and all connector contacts touch. The SODIMMshould 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.
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.
The user can use this interface for long distance connections to an LCD panel. Data can be tranfserred over distances up to 5 meters. The PCM-5820 Series supports an 18-bit LVDS TFT LCD panel via an LVDS interface (CN15). It consists of a 20-pin dual in-line header.
2.19 Ethernet LED and HDD/power LEDs 2.19.1 LED1 (Ethernet LED) Table 2-7: Ethernet LED setup Setting Green lamp Yellow lamp Link The LED should be set so that when the cable is connected, the yellow lamp is activated; and when data is transmitted, the green lamp is activated.
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.
