2.6.1 Connecting the hard drive Connecting drives is done in a daisy-chain fashion. This package includes One 44PIN IDE cable that can connect to 1.8" and 2.5" drives. Connect one end of the cable to Hard Drive connector. Make sure that the red (or blue) wire corresponds to pin 1 on the connector, which is labeled on the board (on the right side).
Supplies main power to the board (+5 V), and to devices that require +12 2.11.3 ATX Feature connector (CN1) The PCM-9377 can support ATX power supply by CN1 connector. Note.: Be sure that the ATX power supply can take at least a 10 mA load on the 5 V standby lead (5VSB).
2.12.2 Audio power source setting (J5) The board is designed to work with a single +5 volts power supply as audio interfaces usually function under +5 volts. However, most audio controllers require an independent +12 volts power source since this avoids noise interference from other digital circuits.
2.14.3 Extension flat panel connector (CN15) CN15 consists of a 20-pin Hirose’s connector no. DF13A-20DP-1.25V. The PCM-9377 supports a 36-bit LCD panel which must be connected to both the CN13 (40-pin) and the CN15 (20-pin). The pin assignments for both CN13 and the CN15 can be found in Appendix C.
The board provides optional TV-out module PCM-232 via CN13, CN15 and J3 jumper. To enable TV-out function, please connect PCM-232 module to PCM-9377 board and setup J3 jumper as bellow table. This module output supports composite video and S-video connectors. TC-out...
