  • Page 20: Setting Jumpers

    Setting jumpers You may configure your card to match the needs of your application 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.
  • Page 21: Safety Precautions

    Modern electronic devices are very sensitive to static electric charges. Use a grounding wrist strap at all times. Place all electronic components on a static-dissipative surface or in a static-shielded bag when they are not in the chassis. PCM-3345 User's Manual...
  • Page 22: Installing Dram (Sodimms) (U12)

    Installing DRAM (SODIMMs) (U12) You can install anywhere from 8 MB to 32 MB of on-board EDO/FPM DRAM memory using 8, 16, or 32 MB 144-pin SODIMMs (Small Outline Dual In-line Memory Modules). 2.6.1 Installing SODIMMs NOTE: The modules can only fit into a socket one way. Their gold pins must point down into the SODIMM socket.
  • Page 23: Ide Hard Drive Connector (Cn6)

    Connecting drives is done in a daisy-chain fashion. It requires one or two cables, depending on the drive size. All necessary cables are included in your PCM-3345 package. 1.8" and 2.5" drives need a 1 x 44-pin to 2 x 44-pin flat-cable connector. 3.5" drives need a 1 x 44- pin to 2 x 40-pin connector.
  • Page 24: Compactflash Disk (Cn13)

    (do NOT use force). Floppy drive connector (CN1) You can attach up to two floppy drives to the the PCM-3345's 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.
  • Page 25: Connecting The Floppy Drive

    2.10 Parallel port connector (CN8) Normally, the parallel port is used to connect the card to a printer. The PCM-3345 includes a multi-mode (ECP/EPP/SPP) parallel port. It is accessed via CN8, a 26-pin flat-cable connector. You will need an adapter cable if you use a traditional DB-25 connec- tor.

    -12 V. 2.13 IR connector (CN2 pin 2, 4, 6, 8, 10) The PCM-3345 provides an IrDA port for transfer rates of 115 kbps. This connector supports the optional wireless infrared transmitting and receiving module, which is mounted on the system case. Configu- ration of the module is done through BIOS setup.
  • Page 27: Serial Ports (Cn3, Cn5)

    2.14 Serial ports (CN3, CN5) The PCM-3345 offers two serial ports, both RS-232. These ports allow you to connect to any serial device (a mouse, printers, etc.) or commu- nication network. 2.14.1 COM1 RS-232 port (CN3) The serial port connector's pin head housing is mounted on the bottom edge of the card.
  • Page 28: Watchdog Timer Configuration

    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. Please note that the PCM-3345's watchdog timer is always set on a 1.60 sec. interval. 2.17 ATX power (5VSB, PSON) input (CN4) Please use the ATX cable (provided with your kit) to connect CN4 to an ATX power supply.
