CHAPTER 2 Installation This chapter tells how to set up the PCM-3350 hardware. It includes instructions on setting jumpers and connecting peripherals, switches and indicators. Make sure you read all the safety precautions before you begin the installation procedure.
2.1 Connectors The board has a number of connectors that allow you to configure your system to suit your application.
2.2 Locating connectors Warning: Make sure you use the correct component side.
2.3 Safety precautions Warning! Always completely disconnect the power cord from your board whenever you are working on it. Do not make connections while the power is on, because sensitive electronic components can be damaged by a sudden rush of power. Caution! Always ground yourself to remove any static charge before touching the board. Modern electronic devices are very sensitive to static electric charges. Use a grounding wrist strap at all times.
2.6 Serial ports (CN3: COM1; CN4: COM2/RS-232; CN18: COM2/RS-422/485) The PCA-3350F offers two serial ports: COM1 in RS-232 and COM2 (CN4: RS-232, CN18:RS-422/485). Refer to CMOS "Integrated Peripheral" for RS-232, 422 or 485 settings. These ports let you connect to serial devices (mouse, printers, etc.) or a communication network. You can select the address for each port (for example, 3F8H [COM1], 2F8H [COM2]) or disable each port. Use the BIOS Advanced Setup program, which is covered in Chapter 4.
this in the system BIOS setup. The table below shows the settings for the PCA-3350F Series' board's ports: Table 2-3: Serial port default settings Port COM1 COM2 Address 3F8, 3E8 2F8, 2E8 Interrupt IRQ4 IRQ3 Default 3F8 2F8 2.7 EIDE HDD connector (CN5) The built-in Enhanced IDE (Integrated Device Electronics) controller supports up to two IDE devices, including CD-ROM drives, tape backup drives, a large hard disk drive and other IDE devices. 2.7.
2.9 Parallel port connector (CN7) Normally, the parallel port is used to connect the card to a printer. The PCM-3350 includes a multi-mode (ECP/EPP/SPP) parallel port. It is accessed via CN7, a 26-pin flat-cable connector. You will need an adapter cable if you use a traditional DB-25 connector. The adpater cable should have a 26-pin connector on one end and a DB-25 connector on the other. The parallel port interrupt channel is designated as IRQ7. 2.
2.13 PS/2 keyboard/mouse connector (CN12) The PCM-3350 board provides a pin head keyboard connector, which 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 failure during the power-on self test (POST) after resetting the PC.
pin number one should be on the right. Please refer to any documentation that came with the drive for more information. If your cable needs to be custom made, you can find the pin assignments for the board's connector in Appendix C. 2.15 CompactFlash™ socket (CN16) The PCM-3350 is equipped with a CompactFlash™ Type I disk socket on the solder side, which supports the IDE interface CompactFlash disk card.

2.17.2 Fan connector (MJ1-B) The PCM-3350 is equipped with a low power dissipation GX1 CPU. With only a heat sink, the PCM-3350 will operate normally at temperatures up to 60° C. At temperatures above 60° C, a fan is recommended. A CPU fan power supply connector is provided (+5 V input) in addition to the CPU power supply. This provides power supply to the optional CPU cooling fan. This connector is only available when +5 V power is supplied to the board.
2.18 SO DIMM socket (Slot1) You can install anywhere from 8 MB to 128 MB of onboard SDRAM memory using 8, 16, 32 or 128 MB 144-pin SODIMMs (Small Outline Dual Inline Memory Modules). 2.18.1 Installing SODIMMs Note: The modules can only fit into a socket one way. Their gold pins must point down into the SODIMM socket. The procedure for installing SODIMMs appears below. Please follow these steps carefully. SO DIMM installation 1. Make sure that all power supplies to the system are switched off. 2.

CHAPTER 3 Software Configuration This chapter details the software configuration information. It shows you how to configure the card to match your application requirements. Award system BIOS is covered in Chapter 4.
3.1 Introduction The PCM-3350 system BIOS and custom drivers are located in a 256 KB, 32-pin Flash ROM device, designated U17. A single Flash chip holds the system BIOS and VGA BIOS. The display type can be configured via software. This method minimizes the number of chips and eases configuration. You can change the display BIOS simply by reprogramming the Flash chip. 3.2 Utility CD disk The PCM-3350 is supplied with a software utility on CD-ROM.
1. Apply power to the PCM-3350 Series with a color TFT display attached. This is the default setting for the PCM-3350 series. Make sure that the AWDFLASH.EXE and *.BIN files are located in the working drive. Note: Make sure that you do not run AWDFLASH.EXE while your system is operating in EMM386 mode. 2. At the prompt, type AWDFLASH.EXE and press . The VGA configuration program will then display the following: Figure 3-2: BIOS VGA setup screen 3.

APPENDIX A Programming the Watchdog Timer The PCM-3350 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.
A.1 Programming the watchdog timer The default configuration of the timer is enabled with system reset. To enable the watchdog timer, you must make 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. After that, your program must write 1 to port 443 at time intervals of less than 1.6 seconds. Otherwise, the watchdog timer will activate and reset the CPU.
The following example shows how you might program the watchdog timer in BASIC: 10 REM Watchdog timer example program 20 X=Out &H443,1 REM watchdog 30 GOSUB 1000 REM complete 40 X=Out &H443,1 REM 50 GOSUB 2000 REM complete 60 X=Out &H443,0 REM 70 END 1000 REM Enable and refresh the Task #1, takes 1 second to Refresh the watchdog Task #2, takes 1 second to Disable the watchdog Subroutine #1, takes 1 second to complete . . .
