Enhanced IDE connector (CN1) You can attach two IDE (Integrated Device Electronics) drives to the PCA-6753F internal controller. The PCA-6753F CPU card has an EIDE connector, CN1. Wire number 1 on the cable is red or blue, and the other wires are gray.
FDD connector (CN2) You can attach up to two floppy disk drives to the PCA-6753F's onboard controller. You can use any combination of 5.25" (360 KB/ 1.2 MB) and/or 3.5" (720 KB/1.44/2.88 MB) drives. The card comes with a 34-pin daisy-chain drive connector cable. On one end of the cable is a 34-pin flat-cable connector.
Therefore make sure that CN9 is connected to a +12 V power supply. The PCA-6753F provides a bias control signal on CN5 which can be used to control the LCD bias voltage. It is recommended that the LCD bias voltage not be applied to the panel until the logic supply voltage (+5 V or +3.3 V) and panel video signals are stable.
2.12 PC/104 connectors (CN8) The PCA-6753F is equipped with a 16-bit ISA signal PC/104 connec- tor for future expansion. See Appendix D for details. 2.13 AT power connector (CN9) If you prefer not to acquire power through the PCA-6753F backplane via the gold H-connectors, The big 4P power connector (CN9) also provides power input connectors for +5 V, and +12 V.
The IRQ and address range for both ports are fixed. However, if you wish to disable the port or change these parameters later, you can do this in the system BIOS setup. The table below shows the settings for the PCA-6753F Series' board's ports: Table 2-3: Serial port default settings Port...
2.16 ATX Feature Connector (CN13) When the PCA-6753F is used as a standalone card, the main power connector (CN9) is used. If the PCA-6753F is used with a passive backplane, the main power connector (CN9) should not be connected. This is because the card will be powered from the backplane.
6-pin mini-DIN connector to a standard DIN connector and to a PS/2 mouse connector. 2.19 ISA gold fingers (CN17, CN18) The 16-bit ISA gold fingers are used for connecting the PCA-6753F Series to an ISA passive backplane. 2.20 USB connector (CN20)
2.22 Reset switch (CN21, pins 6,8) If you install a reset switch, it should be a single pole switch rated at 10 mA, 5 V. Momentarily pressing the switch will activate a reset. For reset switch pin assignments, please see Appendix A. 2.23 IR connector (CN21 pins 9,11,13,15,17) This connector supports the optional wireless infrared transmitting and receiv- ing module.
