PRINTER PORT Chapter 2 Installation 7 PCM-3335 Setting jumpers You configure your card to match the needs of your application by setting jumpers. A jumper is the simplest kind of electric switch. It consists of two metal pins and a small metal clip (often protected by a plastic cover) that slides over the pins to connect them. To “close” a jumper you connect the pins with the clip. To “open” a jumper you remove the clip. Sometimes a jumper will have three pins, labeled 1, 2 and 3. In this case you would connect either pins 1 and 2 or 2 and 3. 3 2 1 Open Closed Closed 2-3 The jumper settings are schematically depicted in this manual as follows: 1 2 3 Open Closed Closed 2-3 A pair of needle-nose pliers may be helpful when working with jumpers. If you have any doubts about the best hardware configuration for your application, contact your local distributor or sales represen- tative before you make any changes. Generally, you simply need a standard cable to make most connections. 8 PCM-3335 User's Manual Safety precautions Warning! Always completely disconnect the power cord from your chassis whenever you are working on it. Do not make connections while the power is on because sensitive electronic components can be damaged by the sudden rush of power. Only experienced electronics personnel should open the PC chassis. Caution! Always ground yourself to remove any static charge before touching the CPU card. Modern electronic devices are very sensitive to static electric charges. Use a grounding wrist strap at all times. Place all electronic components on a static-dissipative surface or in a static-shielded bag when they are not in the chassis. Chapter 2 Installation 9 IDE hard drive connections (HARD CON.) You can attach two Enhanced Integrated Device Electronics hard disk drives to the PCM-3335's internal controller. The card comes with a 40-pin flat cable. Connecting the hard drive Wire number 1 on the cable is red or blue, and the other wires are gray. 1. Connect one end of the cable to the IDE connector. Make sure that the red (or blue) wire corresponds to pin 1 on the connec- tor, which is labeled on the board (on the right side). 2. Plug the other end of the cable to the Enhanced IDE hard drive, with pin 1 on the cable corresponding to pin 1 on the hard drive. (See your hard drive's documentation for the location of the connector.) Unlike floppy drives, you can make the connections with any of the connectors on the cable. If you install two drives, you will need to set one as the master and one as the slave. You do this using jumpers on the drives. If you install just one drive, set it as the master. 10 PCM-3335 User's Manual Pin assignments The following table lists the pin numbers and their respective signals: IDE Connector (HARD CON.)

Digital monitors (i.e. MDA, CGA, and EGA) are NOT supported. Multiple frequency (multisync) monitors are supported as analog monitors. Both CRT and panel displays can be used simultaneously. The PCM-3335 can be set in one of three configurations: on a CRT, on a flat panel display, or on both simultaneously. The system is initially set to simultaneous display mode. In the utility diskette, there are three COM files which can be used to select the display. Simply type the filename at the DOS prompt: CT.COM Enables CRT display only FP.COM Enables panel display only SM.COM Enables both displays at the same time. Sleep mode The display driver diskette contains two files that support sleep mode. Simply type the filename at the DOS prompt: ON.COM switches to normal display mode. OFF.COM switches to sleep mode. 32 PCM-3335 User's Manual Software support The drivers support the following applications using the filena- mes and resolutions listed: Application Filename Resolution Colors Windows 3.1 LINEAR4.DRV 640x480 16 800x600 16 1024x768 16 LINEAR8.DRV 640x480 256 800x600 256 1024x768 256 LINEAR16.DRV 640x480 64K LINEAR24.DRV 640x480 16M AutoCAD R12 RCTURBOC.EXP 640x480 16 800x600 16 1024x768 16 640x480 256 800x600 256 1024x768 256 640x480 32K 640x480 64K 640x480 16M Lotus 1-2-3 2.0 and Lotus Symphony 1.0,1.1 V132X25.DRV 132x25 (Text) 16 V132X50.DRV 132x50 (Text) 16 VESA 1.2 VESA.COM 800x600 16 1024x768 16 640x400 256 640x480 256 800x600 256 1024x768 256 640x480 32K 640x480 64K Chapter 4 SVGA Setup 33 Word 5.0 VGA600.VID 800x600 16 VGA768.VID 1024x768 16 Word 5.5 VGA55600.VID 800x600 16 VGA55768.VID 1024x768 16 WordPerfect 5.0 CHIPS600.WPD 800x600 16 CHIPS768.WPD 1024x768 16 WordPerfect 5.1 VGA600.VRS 800x600 16 VGA768.VRS 1024x768 16 Driver installation Necessary prerequisites The instructions in this manual assume that you understand elementary concepts of MS-DOS and the IBM Personal Comput- er. Before you attempt to install any driver or utility you should: know how to copy files from a floppy disk to a directory on the hard disk, understand the MS-DOS directory structure, and know how to format a floppy disk. If you are uncertain about any of these concepts, please refer to the DOS or Windows user refer- ence guides for more information before you proceed with the installation. Before you begin Before you begin installing software drivers, you should make a backup copy of the display driver diskette and store the original in a safe place. The display driver diskette contains drivers for several versions of certain applications. You must install the correct version in order for the driver to work properly so make sure you know which version of the application you have. 34 PCM-3335 User's Manual Windows setup These drivers are designed to work with Microsoft Windows 3.1. You may install these drivers through Windows or in DOS. Step 1: Install Windows as you normally would for a VGA display. Run Windows to make sure that it is working correctly. Step 2: Place the display driver diskette in drive A. In Windows Program Manager, choose File from the Options Menu. Then from the pull-down menu, choose Run . . . . At the command line prompt, type A:\WINSETUP. Press the key or click OK to begin the installation. At this point the setup program locates the directory where Windows is installed. For proper operation, the drivers must be installed in the Windows subdirec- tory. Press to complete the installation. Once complet- ed, the Display Driver Control Panel appears on the screen. This Control Panel allows you to select and load the installed drivers. Another method of installing these drivers is through the File Manager. Click on Drive A:. Then double-click on WINSETUP.EXE to begin installation. Changing Display Drivers in Windows To change display drivers in Windows, select the Windows Setup icon from the Main window. You will be shown the current setup configuration. Select Change System Settings from the Option menu. Click on the arrow at the end of the Display line. You will be shown a list of display drivers.
