  • Page 13 JUMPERS Clock Multiplier select (JP1) The clock multiplier selection jumper sets the clock frequency multiplier for the MZ-6SER core. Each setting will put the MZ-6SER core at a different operating speed. The CPU operating speed is determined by the CPU clock (33MHz or 64MHz) multiplied by the CPU frequency ratio.
  • Page 14 Watchdog Timer (JP3) The MZ-6SER has two watchdog timers, WD1 and WD2. Both timers are programmable. WD1 counter expires in 2 seconds and WD2 in 7ms. WD2 starts counting down after WD1 expires. When WD2 counter reaches zero, it will unconditionally cause a system reset.
  • Page 15 Disable watchdog Note: The watchdog timer is not enabled at power up by the BIOS. Therefore, the position of the jumper at CN16 does not affect the operation of the MZ-6SER. Master /Slave Mode Select (JP4) JP4 configures the compact flash device inserted into CN18 either as a master or slave IDE device.
  • Page 16 MZ-6SER Manual 24/04/2003 CPU Core Voltage Select (JP6) At a CPU speed of 128 MHz, the core voltage must be set for 2.75 volts. At frequencies below 128 MHz, the core voltage should be lowered to conserve power, and to reduce the dissipated heat.
  • Page 17 3.11 BUR/Boot ROM Select (JP10) JP10 allows the MZ-6SER to boot from standard BIOS or BUR. If boot ROM mode is selected, the MZ-6SER will startup normally by executing the BIOS code and transfer control to a boot device. If BUR mode is selected, the MZ-6SER will execute the BUR code to update the flash BIOS using the Z-Tag interface.
  • Page 18 CN17 Compact flash connector CN18 Note: Pin-1 of each connector on the MZ-6SER is designated by a small white dot on the PCB. Pin-1 on the connector should line up with pin-1 of the corresponding mating connector on the cable.
  • Page 19 MZ-6SER Manual 24/04/2003 an automatic power down mode that turns off the driver outputs. This occurs whenever there isn't a valid signal level on any of the receive pins on the driver chip. Serial port one and Serial port two can be disabled using BIOS SETUP. The IOCS (I/O chip select) signals the quad UART uses for Serial ports 3 to 6 can be disabled through the BIOS SETUP.
  • Page 20 References to DB-9 connectors are for cross-reference only since they are not present on the MZ-6SER but only at the end of an attached cable. The connector description of DB-9 is used in this manual for clarity even though the correct technical term is DE-9. The second letter of DE-9 designates the shell size (per EIA standard).

  • Page 22 • Watchdog trigger source • Hardware reset • Hard drive LED The MZ104+UTIL card supports the flat ribbon cable from the MZ-6SER card. This provides an easy and quick method to connect to the external "utility" devices to the MZ-6SER.
  • Page 23 The Z-Tag Dongle, part number ZFx86DONGLE-1, is available from Tri-M Systems. USB 1,2 Connector (CN11) The MZ-6SER provides two USB (Universal Serial BUS) interfaces, which give complete plug and play, for external devices. Table 20: USB 1,2 Connector (CN11)
  • Page 24 24/04/2003 IDE Interface (CN12) The MZ-6SER has a PCI bus mastering ATA-4 compatible IDE controller. The IDE controller supports Ultra DMA, Multi-word DMA, and all Programmed I/O (PIO) modes. Up to two drives can be connected, in a master-slave arrangement. Generally, the first hard disk drive (master) will appear as C drive.
  • Page 25 24/04/2003 Parallel (CN13) The MZ-6SER parallel port is fully compatible with the PC/AT parallel port. In the extended mode, it functions as a PS/2-like bi-directional port. In Extended Capabilities Port (ECP) mode, it is IEEE 1284 compliant, including level 2...
  • Page 26 MZ-6SER Manual 24/04/2003 PC/104 connectors (CN14, AND CN15) CN14 and CN15 allow PC/104 expansion modules to be added the MZ-6SER. All data, address and control signals are able to sink 10mA and source 8mA. Table 25: PC/104 8bit Connector (CN14)
  • Page 27 SD15 External Power (CN16) The MZ-6SER can be powered by supplying 5VDC and common to CN4. Alternatively, the MZ-6SER can be powered by supplying 5VDC through the 16-bit PC104 connector (CN14 & CN15) with a PC/104 power supply such as the Tri-M Engineering HE104 or HESC-104.
  • Page 28 MZ-6SER Manual 24/04/2003 4.10 CMOS & RTC Battery Holder (CN17) A lithium battery, model CR2032 is used to maintain the RTC (real time clock) operation when +5VDC main power is removed. The battery can be inserted into battery holder CN17 or it can be connected to the utility connector CN8.
