CMOS RAM and the Real-Time Clock. When clearing CMOS RAM: 1) Power off the EPM-15. 2) Install the jumper on V2[2-3] and leave it for four seconds. 3) Move the jumper to back to V2[1-2]. 4) Power on the EPM-15. -
Page 30: Cmos Setup Defaults
System Features CMOS Setup Defaults The EPM-15 permits users to modify CMOS Setup defaults. This allows the system to boot up with user-defined settings from cleared or corrupted CMOS RAM, battery failure or battery-less operation. All CMOS setup defaults can be changed, except the time and date. CMOS Setup defaults can be updated with the BIOS Update Utility. -
Page 31: Acpi Power Management
System Features ACPI Power Management The EPM-15 supports the Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI) “S3 Sleeping State,” also known as “suspend to RAM” mode. Wakeup is accomplished by grounding pin 39 to pin 40 on connector J8 or via pushbutton (or relay attached to the pushbutton interface). Power consumption in standby mode is under 1 watt. -
Page 32: Wakeup
A pushbutton or relay can be attached to connector J2 on the CBR-5010 utility board. Pin 3 is ground, and pin 4 is the pushbutton input. This circuit on the EPM-15 motherboard has a 10k pull-up resistor. EPM-15 Reference Manual... -
Page 33: Interfaces And Connectors
Interfaces and Connectors Serial Ports The EPM-15 features three on-board 16550-based serial channels located at standard PC I/O addresses. Connector J8 provides interfaces to the COM ports. See Table 6 for COM port signal and pinout information. COM1 is an RS-232 (115.2K baud) serial port. COM3 and COM4 can be operated in RS-422 or RS-485 modes. -

There are four USB connectors on the CBR-5010 breakout board. -
Page 37: Parallel Port
Interfaces and Connectors Parallel Port The EPM-15 includes a standard bi-directional/EPP/ECP compatible LPT port which resides at the PC standard address of 378h. The port can be enabled or disabled and interrupt assignments can be made via CMOS Setup. The LPT mode is also set via CMOS Setup. -
Page 38: Video Interface
Interfaces and Connectors Video Interface An on-board video controller integrated into the chipset provides high performance video output for the EPM-15. (The EPM-15 can also be operated without video card attached. See “Console Redirection.”) ONFIGURATION The EPM-15 uses a shared-memory architecture. This allows the video controller to use 16 MB of system DRAM for video RAM. -
Page 39: Lvds Flat Panel Display Connector
ISPLAY ONNECTOR The integrated LVDS Flat Panel Display in the EPM-15 is an ANSI/TIA/EIA-644-1995 specification-compliant interface. It can support up to 24 bits of RGB pixel data plus 3 bits of timing control (HSYNC/VSYNC/DE) on the 4 differential data output pairs. The LVDS clock frequency ranges from 25 MHz to 85 MHz. -
Page 40: Compatible Lvds Panel Displays
Compatible with DOS or Windows Generic VGA driver, but not the GX Windows driver. ONSOLE EDIRECTION The EPM-15 can be operated without using the onboard video output by redirecting the console to COM1. CMOS Setup and some operating systems such as DOS can use this console for user interaction. - Page 41 The following diagram illustrates a typical DB9 to DB9 RS-232 null modem adapter.

Page 42: Ethernet Interface
Interfaces and Connectors Ethernet Interface The EPM-15 features an on-board Ethernet controller. For the EPM-15g and h, the controller is the Intel 82551ER Fast Ethernet controller. For the EPM-15S and E, the controller is the Intel 82541ER controller. While these controllers are not NE2000-compatible, they are widely supported. -
Page 43: Audio
Interfaces and Connectors Audio The audio interface on the EPM-15 is implemented using the Analog Devices AD1981B Audio Codec (EPM-15g, h) or the National Semiconductor LM4549B (EPM-15S, E). This interface is AC ’97 2.1 compatible. Drivers are available for most Windows-based operating systems. To obtain the most current versions, consult the EPM-15 product support page. -
