Installation This chapter tells how to set up the PCI-6870 hardware. It includes instructions on setting jumpers, and connecting peripherals, switches and indicators. Be sure to read all the safety precautions before you begin the installation procedure.
2.1 Safety Precautions Follow these simple precautions to protect yourself from harm and your PC from damage. 1. To avoid electric shock, always disconnect the power from your PC chassis before you work on it. Don't touch any components on the CPU card or other cards while the PC is on.
2.3 Connectors On-board connectors link the PCI-6870 to external devices such as hard disk drives, a keyboard, or floppy drives. The table below lists the function of each of the board’s connectors. Table 2-2: Connectors Label Function CompactFlash Type I C N 1 IrDA C N 2...

2.4 Setting jumpers You configure your card 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. To “close”...
2.4.1 COM2 settings for RS-232/422/485 (J3) Table 2-3: COM2 settings for RS-232/422/485 (J3) *RS-232 RS-422 RS-485 * default setting 2.4.2 CMOS clear function (J4) Warning: To avoid damaging the computer, always turn off the power supply before setting "Clear CMOS". Set the jumper back to normal before turning on the power supply.
2.4.3 Watchdog timer config. (J5) An on-board watchdog timer reduces the chance of disruptions which EMP (electro-magnetic pulse) interference can cause. This is an invaluable protective device for standalone or unmanned applications. Setup involves one jumper and running the control software.
2.5 Installation Caution The following sections tell how to make each connection. In most cases, you will simply need to connect a standard cable. All of the connector pin assignments are shown in Appendix C. Warning! Always completely disconnect the power cord from your chassis whenever you are working on it.
2.5.3 RS-232 connection (COM1-CN3) Different devices implement the RS-232 standard in different ways. If you are having problems with a serial device, be sure to check the pin assignments for the connector. 2.5.4 Keyboard & PS/2 Mouse Connector (CN4) The PCI-6870 board provides a keyboard connector. A 6-pin mini- DIN connector (CN4) on the card mounting bracket supports single-board computer applications.
2.5.6 Parallel Port Connector (CN7) The parallel port is normally used to connect the CPU card to a printer. The PCI-6870 includes an on-board parallel port, accessed through a 26-pin flat-cable connector, CN7. The card comes with an adapter cable which lets you use a traditional DB-25 connector. The cable has a 26-pin connector on one end and a DB-25 connector on the other, mounted on a retaining bracket.
2.5.8 USB Connector (CN9) The PCI-6870 board provides two USB (Universal Serial Bus) interfaces, which give complete plug and play and also hot attach/detach for up to 127 external devices. The USB interfaces comply with USB specification rev. 1.0 and are fuse protected. The USB interfaces are accessed through a 10-pin flat-cable connector, CN9.
2.5.12 Ethernet Configuration (CN14) The PCI-6870 is equipped with a high performance 32-bit PCI-bus Fast Ethernet interface which is fully compliant with IEEE 802.3u 10/100Base-T specifications. It is supported by all major network operating systems. The medium type can be configured via the RSET8139.EXE program included on the utility disk.
Connect the first hard drive to the other end of the cable. Wire 1 on the cable should also connect to pin 1 on the hard drive connector, which is labeled on the drive circuit board. Check the documentation that came with the drive for more information. Connect the second drive, as described above, on CN15.
Plug the other end of the cable into the Enhanced IDE hard drive, with pin 1 on the cable corresponding to pin 1 on the hard drive. (See your hard drive’s documentation for the location of the connector.) If desired, connect a second drive as described above. Unlike floppy drives, IDE hard drives can connect to either end of the cable.
2.6 Adding System Memory (DIMM) You can install anywhere from 8 to 512 MB of SDRAM into your PCI-6870 series card. The card is provided with a 168-pin DIMM socket, which accepts 32, 64, 128, 256, or 512 MB 3.3 V power level DIMMs.
2.7 CPU installation and upgrading 1. If you are upgrading the CPU, remove the old CPU from the socket. If it is difficult to remove, you may find chip lubricant (designed for pin-grid-array devices, PGAs) and a chip puller helpful. Both are available at electronics hobby supply stores. 2.

Introduction The PCI-6870's on-board audio interface provides high-quality stereo sound and FM music synthesis (ESFM) by using the Cs5530A audio controller from Cyrix Corporation. The audio interface can record, compress, and play back voice, sound, and music with a built-in mixer control.
Programming the Watchdog Timer The PCI-6870 is equipped with a watchdog timer that resets the CPU or generates an interrupt if processing comes to a standstill for any reason. This feature ensures system reliability in industrial standalone or unmanned environments.
A.1 Programming the Watchdog Timer To program the watchdog timer, you must write a program which writes I/O port address 443 (hex). The output data is a value of time interval. The value range is from 01 (hex) to 3E (hex), and the related time interval is 1 sec.
Page 103
After data entry, your program must refresh the watchdog timer by rewriting the I/O port 443 (hex) while simultaneously setting it. When you want to disable the watchdog timer, your program should read I/O port 443 (hex). The following example shows how you might program the watchdog timer in BASIC: Watchdog timer example program OUT &H443, data REM...
