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, connect the pins with the clip. To “open” a jumper, 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 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 representative before you make any changes. Generally, you simply need a standard cable to make most connections. Chapter 2 Installation 15 2.6 CMOS clear (J3) Warning: To avoid damaging the computer, always turn off the power supply before setting “Clear CMOS.” Before turning on the power supply, set the jumper back to “3.0 V Battery On.” Table 2-3: CMOS clear (J3) *3.0 V Battery on Clear CMOS 12 3 1 23 J3 * default setting 16 PCM-9550F/FM/L User's Manual 2.7 Installing system memory (DIMMs) You are able to install memory ranging from 16 to 256 MB of DIMM onto your PCM-9550F/FM/L card. The card provides one 168-pin DIMM socket, which accepts 16, 32, 64, 128 or 256 MB 3.3 V power level EDO/synchronous DIMMs. 2.7.1 Installing DIMMs The procedure for installing DIMMs is described below. Please follow these steps carefully. The number of pins are different on either side of the breaks, so the module can only fit in one way. DIMM modiles have different pin contacts on each side, and therefore have a higher pin density. 1. Make sure that the two handles of the DIMM socket are in the “open” position. i.e. The handles remain leaning outward. 2. Slowly slide the DIMM module along the plastic guides on both ends of the socket. 3. Press the DIMM module right down into the socket, until you hear a click. This is when the two handles have automatically locked the memory module into the correct position of the socket. To remove the memory module, just push both handles outward, and the module will be ejected from the socket. 2.8 IDE, CDROM hard drive connector (CN16, CN17) The PCM-9550F/FM/L provides 2 IDE channels which you can attach up to four Enhanced Integrated Device Electronics hard disk drives or CDROM to the PCM-9550F/FM/L’s internal controller. The PCM-9550F/FM/L’s IDE controller uses a PCI interface. This advanced IDE controller supports faster data transfer, PID mode 3, mode 4 and UDMA/33. Chapter 2 Installation 17 2.8.1 Connecting the hard drive Connecting drives is done in a daisy-chain fashion. It requires one of two cables (not included in this package), depending on the drive size. 1.8" and 2.5" drives need a 1 x 44-pin to 2 x 44-pin flat- cable connector. 3.5" drives use a 1 x 44-pin to 2 x 40-pin connector. Wire number 1 on the cable is red or blue, and the other wires are gray. 1. Connect one end of the cable to CN16 or CN17. Make sure that the red (or blue) wire corresponds to pin 1 on the connector, which is labeled on the board (on the right side). 2. Plug the other end of the cable into 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.) Connect a second drive as described above. Unlike floppy drives, IDE hard drives can connect to either end of the cable. If you install two drives, you will need to set one as the master and one as the slave by using jumpers on the drives. If you install just one drive, set it as the master. 18 PCM-9550F/FM/L User's Manual 2.9 Solid State Disk The PCM-9550F/FM/L provides a CompactFlash™ card socket and DiskOnChip socket for Solid state disk solutions. 2.9.1 CompactFlash (CN30) The CompactFlash card shares a secondary IDE channel which can be enabled/disabled via the Bios settings. 2.9.2 DiskOnChip 2000 Address setting (J8) The DiskOnChip address can be set using the table below. Table2-4: J8: DOC-2000 address setting 1-2 3-4 5-6 setting closed closed closed C800 closed closed open CC00 closed open closed D000* closed open open D400 open closed closed D800 open closed open DC00 open open closed E000 open open open Off Chapter 2 Installation 19 2.10 Floppy drive connector (CN19) You can attach up to two floppy drives to the PCM-9550F/FM/L’s on-board controller. You can use any combination of 5.25” (360 KB and 1.2 MB) and/or 3.5” (720 KB, 1.44 MB, and 2.88 MB) drives. A 34-pin daisy-chain drive connector cable is required for a dual-drive system. On one end of the cable is a 34-pin flat-cable connector. On the other end are two sets of floppy disk drive connectors. Each set consists of a 34-pin flat-cable connector (usually used for 3.5” drives) and a printed-circuit board connector (usually used for 5.25” drives). 2.10.1 Connecting the floppy drive 1. Plug the 34-pin flat-cable connector into CN19. Make sure that the red wire corresponds to pin one on the connector. 2. Attach the appropriate connector on the other end of the cable to the floppy drive(s). You can use only one connector in the set. The set on the end (after the twist in the cable) connects to the A: drive. The set in the middle connects to the B: drive. 3. If you are connecting a 5.25” floppy drive, line up the slot in the printed circuit board with the blocked-off part of the cable connector. If you are connecting a 3.5” floppy drive, you may have trouble determining which pin is number one. Look for a number printed on the circuit board indicating pin number one. In addition, the connector on the floppy drive may have a slot. When the slot is up, pin number one should be on the right. Check the documentation that came with the drive for more information. If you desire, connect the B: drive to the connectors in the middle of the cable as described above. In case you need to make your own cable, you can find the pin assignments for the board’s connector in Appendix C. 20 PCM-9550F/FM/L User's Manual 2.11 Parallel port connector (CN21, CN22) Normally, the parallel port is used to connect the card to a printer. The PCM-9550F/FM/L includes a multi-mode (ECP/EPP/SPP) parallel port accessed via CN21 or CN22, and a 26-pin flat-cable connector. You will need an adapter cable if you use a traditional DB-25 connector. The adapter cable has a 26-pin connector on one end, and a DB-25 connector on the other. The parallel port is designated as LPT1, and can be disabled or changed to LPT2 or LPT3 in the system BIOS setup. The parallel port interrupt channel is designated to be IRQ7. You can select ECP/EPP DMA channel via BIOS setup. 2.12 Keyboard and PS/2 mouse connector (CN10) The PCM-9550F/FM/L board provides a keyboard connector that supports both a keyboard and a PS/2 style mouse. In most cases, especially in embedded applications, a keyboard is not used. If the keyboard is not present, the standard PC/AT BIOS will report an error or fail during power-on self-test (POST) after a reset. The PCM-9550F/FM/L’s BIOS standard setup menu allows you to select “All, But Keyboard” under the “Halt On” selection. This allows no-keyboard operation in embedded system applications, without the system halting under POST. Chapter 2 Installation 21 2.13 Front panel connector (CN13) Next, you may want to install external switches to monitor and control the PCM-9550F/FM/L. These features are optional: install them only if you need them. The front panel connector (CN13) is an 8-pin male, dual in-line header. It provides connections for a speaker, hard disk access indicator, watchdog output, and an input switch for resetting the card. 2.13.1 Speaker The PCM-9550F/FM/L can drive an 8 ohm speaker at 0.5 watts. Make sure that alternatives to this specification do not overload the card. 2.13.2 LED interface The front panel LED indicator for hard disk access is an active low signal (24 mA sink rate). 2.13.3 Watchdog output When the PCM-5864/L’s watchdog timer times out, the front panel pin 6 will output an active low pulse signal (25mA sink rate for 1 second). 2.13.4 Reset switch If you install a reset switch, it should be an open single pole switch. Momentarily pressing the switch will activate a reset. The switch should be rated for 10 mA, 5 V. If you need to make your own cable, you can find the pin assignments for the board’s connector in Appendix C. 22 PCM-9550F/FM/L User's Manual 2.14 Power connectors (CN24, CN8, CN26) 2.14.1 Peripheral power connector, -5 V, -12 V (CN26) Supplies secondary power to devices that require -5 V and -12 V. 2.14.2 Main power connector, +5 V, +12 V (CN8) Supplies main power to the PCM-5864/L (+5 V), and to devices that require +12 V. 2.14.3 CPU Fan power supply connector (CN24) Provides power supply to CPU cooling fan. Only present when +5 V and +12 V power is supplied to the board. Chapter 2 Installation 23 2.15 ATX power control connector (J4, CN5) 2.15.1 ATX feature connector (CN5) and soft power switch connector (J4) The PCM-9550F/FM/L can support an advanced soft power switch function, if an ATX power supply is used. To enable the soft power switch function: 1. Get the specially designed ATX-to-EBX power cable (PCM-9550F/FM/L optional item, part no. 1703200100) 2. Connect the 3-pin plug of the cable to CN5 (ATX feature connector). 3. Connect the power on/off button to J4. (A momentary button switch should be used.) Important: Make sure that the ATX power supply can take at least a 10 mA load on the 5 V standby lead (5VSB). If not, you may have difficulty powering on your system.

This module mounts on the system case. You must configure the setting through BIOS setup. 2.17 Audio interfaces (CN2, CN11) (PCM-9550F/9550FM only) The PCM-9550F/FM is equipped with a high-quality audio interface, which provides 16-bit CD-quality recording and playback as well as OPL3 compatible FM music. It is supported by all major operating systems. 2.17.1 Audio connector (CN12) The PCM-9550F/FM provides all major audio signals on a 16-pin flat-cable connector, CN4. These audio signals include Microphone in (mono), Line in (stereo), Line out (stereo), and Speaker out (stereo). If you use traditional telephone jack connectors for these audio signals, you will need an adapter cable. 2.17.2 CD audio input connector (CN11) Any CD-ROM drive can provide analog audio signal output when used as a music CD player. The CN11 on PCM-9550F/FM is a connector to input CD audio signals into the audio controller. The audio cable of your CD-ROM drive will be used to connect to CN11. Chapter 2 Installation 25 2.17.3 Audio power source setting (J7) The PCM-9550F/FM is designed to work with a single +5 V power supply. The audio interface can also function normally under single +5V power supply, but most audio controllers require an independent power source generated from a +12 V power supply. The independent power source avoids the noise from the other digital circuits. The PCM-9550F/FM’s audio interface can accept +12 V power to provide improved quality audio. This is done via J7. Table 2-5: Audio power source setting *+5 V +12 V 12 3 1 23 J7 * default setting Configuration of the audio interface is done entirely via the software utility. You do not have to set any jumpers. Refer to Chapter 6 for audio setup details. 26 PCM-9550F/FM/L User's Manual 2.18 COM port connector (CN20) The PCM-9550F/FM/L provides four serial ports (COM1, 3, 4: RS-232; COM2: RS-232/422/485) in one COM port connector. The COM port connector is a 40-pin, dual-inline, male header. It provides connections for serial devices (a mouse, etc.) or a communication network. You can find the pin assignments for the COM port connector in Appendix C. 2.18.1 COM2 RS-232/422/485 setting (J9) COM2 can be configured to operate in RS-232, RS-422, or RS- 485 mode.

This company has been a terrific help to us (I work for Trican Well Service) in sourcing the Micron Ram Memory we needed for our Siemens computers. Great service! And great pricing! I know when the product is shipping and when it will arrive, all the way through the ordering process.

When I can't find an obsolete part, I first call GID and they'll come up with my parts every time. Great customer service and follow up as well. Scott emails me from time to time to touch base and see if we're having trouble finding something.....which is often with our 25 yr old equipment.
