PRELIMINARY 127
12 BUILDING A SYSTEM
To build a system based on the PCC-P5L board you must obtain the following equipment:
- A chassis to hold all the system components. The board size is designed for EURO-RACKS 19"
with 6HE.
- A power supply of 5V and 5- 10 Amps depending on the mass storage systems.
- 8 ohm speaker.
- A floppy disk drive (3,5" or 5,25") with a PC floppy cable (34 pin). You need at least one floppy
to boot the first time.
- A harddisk IDE 3,5" or 2,5" or 1,8" with the appropriate cable (44 pin and 2mm grid or 40pin
2.54mm)
- Connect an LCD or a monitor to the VGA connector.
- An PS2-compatible keyboard.
12.1 Starting up the System
Power-up the system and wait for the BIOS to show the BIOS activity on the screen. The BIOS diag-
noses the system and displays the size of the memory being tested.
CMOS-SETUP
If the CMOS configuration is incorrect, the BIOS tells you to enter the setup screen with <DEL>.
Select the correct options with the arrow keys and save.
12.2 Error on boot time
A. If the display works:
1. Check if you have a bootable floppy or harddisk.
2. Check the CMOS parameter with the setup tools.
3. Reset the CMOS RAM with the reset jumper J91 on the board. Close Jumper J91 for 5 seconds
until the power-on procedure. Remove the jumper and the system will start with BIOS-defaults.
4. Re-enter the correct values with Setup.
B. If no display on the screen is available:
1. Check the power circuitry.
2. Check the polarities of the cables.
3. Measure the voltage of the power supply under load and offload.
4. Measure the current between the supply and the MICROSPACE PC.
5. Connect a floppy: does the bezel led light blink?
6. Does the harddisk spindle motor start?
7. Reset the CMOS-RAM: see A.3.
C. If the error appears again
1. Contact your nearest DIGITAL-LOGIC dealer for Technical Support.
