The PC/104 architecture affords a great deal of flexibility in system design. You can build a simple system using only a CoreModule 740, an input/output device connected to the serial or parallel ports, and an IDE storage device connected to the IDE port. To expand a simple CoreModule system, simply add self-stacking PC/104 and PC/104-Plus expansion boards to provide additional capabilities, such as: •...
It can be stacked with ADLINK MiniModules™ or other PC/104-compliant expansion modules, or it can be used as a powerful computing engine. The CoreModule 740 requires a single +5V AT power source.
• Provides two USB ports • Supports USB V2.0 Support external reset switch ♦ Support standard external 8 speaker interface ♦ Ω Support HDD Activity LED ♦ Support external battery for Real Time Clock operation ♦ CoreModule 740 Reference Manual...

Note: The shaded areas denote power or ground. Power Interface The CoreModule 740 requires one +5 volt DC power source and provides a 10-pin, shrouded header with 2 rows, odd/even pin sequence (1, 2), and 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch. If the +5VDC power drops below ~4.65V, a low voltage reset is triggered, resetting the system.
Real Time Clock (RTC) The CoreModule 740 contains a Real Time Clock (RTC). The RTC can be backed up with a battery. If the battery is not present, the board BIOS has a battery-less boot option to complete the boot process.
Support Software QuickDrive illustrating how to control the WDT. The code examples can be easily copied to your development environment to compile and test the examples, or make any desired changes before compiling. Refer to the WDT Readme file on the CoreModule 740 Support Software QuickDrive.
This section describes how to enable the Remote Access in VGA mode and enter the BIOS setup through a serial terminal or PC. Turn on the power supply to the CoreModule 740 and enter the BIOS Setup Utility in VGA mode. Set the BIOS feature Remote Access Configuration to [Enable] under the Advanced menu.
IRQs from “Available” to “Reserved”. OEM Logo Utility The CoreModule 740 BIOS supports a graphical logo utility, which can be customized by the user and displayed when enabled through the BIOS Setup Utility. The graphical image can be a company logo or any custom image the user wants to display during the boot process.
