Select a 72-pin SIMM for use with the EPC-30 and install carefully. Make
sure you are using a SIMM with gold-plated connections.
The EPC-30 supports several standard PC-compatible I/O peripherals,
including a PS/2-compatible mouse, PS/2-compatible keyboard, IDE hard
disk drive, and VGA monitor or LCD flat panel display. Refer to Chapter 4
for connector descriptions and pinout diagrams.
Before you power up the EPC-30, connect the peripherals as the following
steps describe. You can connect the peripherals in any order.
1. Connect a PS/2 keyboard or compatible (6-pin mini DIN connector) to
J15.
2. Connect a VGA monitor (15-pin D-sub connector) to J11 or a 1/10”
socket to J8.
3. OPTIONAL - Boot Device. Connect a bootable IDE hard disk drive to
J6 or connect the floppy drive at J3.
4. OPTIONAL - Connect an LCD flat panel display to header J7 if you
will not use a VGA monitor. Note that software is required to run both a
VGA monitor and a flat panel display, as the hardware can sense the load on
the VGA connector and then disables the flat panel interface.
5. OPTIONAL - Connect a PS/2 mouse or compatible to J13. If you will
use a serial mouse, connect it to serial port COMA J14 (DB-9) or J12 (stake
pin header).
Power Supply Requirements
You can power the EPC-30 using the 4-pin connector found on any standard
PC/AT compatible +5 VDC/+12 VDC power supply such as that normally
used with a PC’s 3.5” floppy disk drive. The EPC-30 requires +5 VDC
power to operate and +12 VDC power to erase or program most flash
devices. Note: +12V is also supplied to the PCMCIA connector S1. Figure 2-
2 shows the location of the power connector on the board.
Powering Up the EPC-30
DO NOT POWER UP THE EPC-30 UNTIL YOU MAKE
ALL CONNECTIONS.
Before you power up the EPC-30, complete the following steps.
