1. DESCRIPTION Morpheus is a Single Board Computer based on the Intel Celeron processor. It conforms to the PC/104 standard, an embedded standard that is based on the ISA and PCI buses and provides a compact, rugged mechanical design for embedded systems. PC/104 modules feature a pin and socket connection system in place of card edge connectors, as well as mounting holes in each corner.

This is a 4-pin power connector. It is the external input power connector for powering up the board. Power may be supplied through the PC104 bus or through this connector. Morpheus only requires power to be supplied to the 5V and ground pins to power up.
1 is fixed RS-232. Jumper J5 determines the serial protocol for port 2. To configure the protocol, power down the CPU, install the jumper in the desired location, then power up the Morpheus again. For serial port pinouts, please refer to section 6.1, page 8.
J5 can be found on page 7. When connecting cables, connect the side with the red stripe to pin 1 on the Morpheus. Using the cable supplied in the cable kit C-MOR-KIT, the DB-9 connector will provide the standard DTE pinout for a PC serial port. The pinouts shown below are for the pin headers on Morpheus, NOT the DB-9 connector.
North Bridge chip on the 650MHz model. In most cases just a heat sink is sufficient for the North Bridge chip on the 400MHz model. Fan control Ethernet LED This connector can be used to indicate whether the Ethernet is working/active or not. Diamond Systems does not provide any cables or LEDs for this connector.

Pin 11 is keyed for easy, error-free connection. When connecting the VGA cable, align the side with the red stripe to pin 1 and attach the .2mm header to the Morpheus. Connect the cable’s DB15 female connector to the monitor’s DB15 male connector for video output to monitor. Diamond Systems’ cable kit C-MOR-KIT includes a cable for this connector.
2mm 44-pin header on the cable. To connect the cable to the header, connect the side with the red stripe to pin 1. Diamond Systems’ cable kit C-MOR-KIT includes a cable for this connector.
Floppy Disk Drive This header is keyed to provide error-free connection. Morpheus supports up to two floppy drive connections simultaneously. To connect the provided cable to the header, attach the side with the red stripe to pin 1. Diamond Systems provides a floppy drive ribbon cable.
Morpheus board. Diamond Systems does not provide a cable for this connector. Morpheus requires about 2 – 2.5A on the +5V line for proper operation. Be sure to use proper gauge wire to handle this current. Power conductors should be kept as short as possible to reduce the voltage drop on the conductors.
6.13 Ethernet (100 Base-Tx) This connector is keyed for error-free connection. When connecting the cable to the header, align the side with the red stripe to pin 1. Diamond Systems’ cable kit C-MOR-KIT includes a cable for this connector. 6.14 Utilities This utility connector provides multiple functions for users.
