Safety Precautions Follow these simple precautions to protect yourself from harm and your PC from damage. 1. To avoid electric shock, always disconnect the power from your PC chassis before you work on it. Do not touch any components on the CPU card or other cards while the PC is on. 2.
Jumper Settings This section tells how to set the jumpers to configure your card. It gives the card default configuration and your options for each jumper. After you set the jumpers and install the card, you will also need to run the BIOS Setup program (discussed in Chapter 3) to configure the serial port addresses, floppy/hard disk drive types and system operat- ing parameters.

Installing System Memory (DIMMs) You can install anywhere from 8 to 256 MB of SDRAM into your PCN-6351/6351L card. The card provides two 144-pin DIMM sockets. Each socket accepts 8, 16, 32, 64 or 128 MB 3.3 V power level DIMMs. If only one DIMM module is required, it can be installed in DIMM socket on the solder side of the PCN-6351/6351L board.
Connecting Peripherals This chapter tells how to connect peripherals, switches and indicators to the PCN-6351/6351L board. You can access most of the connectors from the top of the board while it is installed in the chassis. If you have a number of cards installed, or your chassis is very tight, you may need to partially remove the card to make all the connections.
Page 24
The following sections tell how to make each connection. In most cases, you will simply need to connect a standard cable. All of the connector pin assignments are shown in Appendix C. Warning! Always completely disconnect the power cord from your chassis whenever you are working on it.

Programming the Watchdog Timer The PCN-6351/6351L is equipped with a watchdog timer that resets the CPU or generates an interrupt if processing comes to a standstill for any reason. This feature ensures system reliability in industrial standalone or unmanned environments.
Page 67
A.1 Programming the Watchdog Timer Jumper J3 controls the watchdog settings. The default configuration of the timer is enabled via a system reset. To enable the watchdog timer, you must write a program which writes 1 to I/O port address 443 (hex) at regular intervals. The first time your program reads the port, it enables the watchdog timer.
Page 68
The following program shows how you might program the watchdog timer in BASIC: REM Watchdog timer example program X=Out &H443, 1 REM Enable and refresh the watchdog GOSUB 1000 REM Task #1, takes 1 second to complete X=Out &H443, 1 REM Refresh the watchdog GOSUB 2000 REM Task #2, takes 1 second to complete X=Out &H443, 0 REM Disable the watchdog 1000...
