AGP SVGA controller, one PCI slot and TV-out function. It supports
Pentium IV up to 3.06 GHz (at 25ºC). The PCM-9580s design is based
on the 5.25" form factor that provides support for PCI module expansion.
The 5.25" form factor also provides a convenient connector layout for
easy assembly, more efficient cable connections and better overall
embedded system integration. This compact (only 5.75 x 8) unit offers
all the functions of a single board industrial computer, but still fits in the
space of a 5.25 CD-ROM drive.
On-board features include, four serial ports, one multi-mode parallel
(ECP/EPP/SPP) port, 4 USB (Universal Serial Bus) 1.1/2.0 ports, an
optional floppy drive controller, and a keyboard/PS/2 mouse interface.
The built-in high-speed PCI IDE controller supports both PIO and
UDMA/100 bus master modes. Up to four IDE devices can be con-
nected, including large hard disks, CD-ROM drives, and tape backup
drives.
The PCM-9580 features power management to minimize power con-
sumption. It complies with the Green Function standard and supports
Doze, Standby and Suspend modes. In addition, the boards watchdog
timer can automatically reset the system or generate an interrupt if the
system stops due to a program bug or EMI.
1.1.1 Highly integrated multimedia SBC
The PCM-9580 is a highly integrated multimedia SBC that combines
audio, video, and network functions on a single computer board the size
of a 5.25" CD-ROM drive. It provides an AC-97 interface and supports
Line-in,Line-out, and MIC-in via Optional PCM-232 audio module, and
up to 1600 x 1200 resolution @ 16.8 M colors with 8 to 64MB frame
buffer with system memory. Major on-board devices adopt PCI technol-
ogy, to achieve outstanding computing performance when used with
Intel® Pentium®IV processors. The PCM-9580 also supports an TV-out
for NTSC/PAL multimedia applications.

2.4 Setting Jumpers
You may configure your card to match the needs of your application by
setting jumpers. A jumper is a metal bridge used to close an electric cir-
cuit. 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.
open closed closed 2-3
The jumper settings are schematically depicted in this manual as follows:.
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.
11 Chapter 2
2.5 Clear CMOS (SW1)
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.
This jumper is used to erase CMOS data and reset system BIOS informa-
tion.
The procedure for clearing CMOS is:
1. Turn off the system.
2. Push SW1
3. Turn on the system. The BIOS is now reset to its default setting
2.6 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 modules have
different pin contacts on each side, and therefore have a higher pin den-
sity.
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.

2.7 IDE, CDROM hard drive connector (CN15, CN13)
The PCM-9580 provides 2 IDE channels which you can attach up to four
Enhanced Integrated Device Electronics hard disk drives or CDROM to
the PCM-9580s internal controller. The PCM-9580's IDE controller uses
a PCI interface. This advanced IDE controller supports faster data trans-
fer, PIO mode 3, mode 4 and UDMA/100. The secondary channel sup-
ports UDMA/33 only.
2.7.1 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 CN15 or CN13. 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 drives documentation for the location of the con-
nector.)
If desired, 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 only one
drive, set it as the master.
2.8 Solid State Disk
The PCM-9580 provides a CompactFlash card socket and DiskOnChip
socket for Solid state disk solutions.
2.8.1 CompactFlash (CN19)

enabled/disabled via the BIOS settings.
13 Chapter 2
2.9 Floppy drive connector (CN12)
You can attach up to two floppy drives to the PCM-9580s on-board con-
troller. 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).
2.9.1 Connecting the floppy drive
1. Plug the 34-pin flat-cable connector into CN12. 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 connec-
tor.
If you are connecting a 3.5 floppy drive, you may have trouble determin-
ing 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 assign-
ments for the boards connector in Appendix C.
