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 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. 3 2 1 Open Closed Closed 2-3 The jumper settings are schematically depicted in this manual as follows: 1 2 3 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 represen- tative before you make any changes. Generally, you simply need a standard cable to make most connections. 12 SBC-570 User’s Manual Safety precautions Warning! Always completely disconnect the power cord from your chassis whenever you are working on it. Do not make connections while the power is on, sensitive electronic components can be damaged by the sudden rush of power. Only experienced electronics personnel should open the PC chassis. Caution! Always ground yourself to remove any static charge before touching the CPU card. Modern electronic devices are very sensitive to static electric charges. Use a grounding wrist strap at all times. Place all electronic components on a static-dissipative surface or in a static-shielded bag when they are not in the chassis. Chapter 2 Hardware Configuration 13 Installing the CPU The SBC-570 CPU card supports Intel Pentium 75~200 and other compatible CPUs at 66/60/55/50 MHz (external clock speed). The system's performance depends on the CPU you choose. You can install or upgrade the CPU in the board's ZIF socket by following the procedures outlined below. If your system has an existing CPU, you need to remove it before installing the new CPU. Removing a CPU 1. Pull the lever on the side of the ZIF socket out a little and raise it up as far as it will go. 2. Lift the CPU out. Installing the CPU 1. Make sure the ZIF socket lever is up as far as it can go. The Pin 1 position is at the arm corner. 2. Match Pin 1 on the CPU with the Pin 1 position on the ZIF socket. The pins on the three inner rings of the CPU should be aligned with the holes on the ZIF socket. 3. Insert the CPU. If it does not go in easily, lift the lever higher. 4. Press the lever down. The sliding plate will move forward to position the CPU. You will feel some resistance in the lever as the CPU is secured into place. When the CPU is properly installed, the lever will snap into place at the side of the ZIF socket. When you install a new CPU, you may have to adjust other settings on the board, such as CPU type, CPU clock and PCI speed, to accommodate it. Make sure that the settings are correct for your CPU. Improper settings may damage the CPU. 14 SBC-570 User’s Manual CPU Speed Reference Table Refer to the CPU speed Reference Table (below) for instructions on adjusting the internal clock according to the base CPU speed.

If the following message appears, click New to replace the existing driver and skip to Step 10. The driver(s) for this SCSI Adapter are aready on the system. Do you want to use the currently installed driver(s) or install new one(s). If the following message appears, continue with Step 9: Please enter the full path to the Windows NT SCSI Adapter files. 9. Change the path to the directory (i.e., a:\winnt\3_5) with the desired device driver, then click Continue. The device driver is copied to your system disk and the Windows NT configuration is updated so that the new device driver loads when Windows NT reboots. 10.When the installtion is complete, Windows NT Setup again displays a list of currently installed host adapter types. Verify that the new host adapter appears on the list; the string should look similar to "Adaptec AHA-294x/AHA-394x/AHA-4944 or AIC-78xx PCI SCSI Controller (NT 3.5x)". 11. Add other types of host adapters if necessary (see Step 4 above), or click close to exit the SCSI adapters portion of Windows NT Setup, and then close the program. 12.When you see this message, click OK to exit: The changes you have made will not take effect until the computer is restarted. If this message does not appear, no changes have been made to the Windows NT system configuration. 13.Restart your computer andWindows NT. It is possible that some drive letter assignments may change from the previous configuration. 60 SBC-570 User’s Manual NetWare v3.1x/v4.0/v4.1x Driver Installtion To update or install the driver when NetWare is already installed, follow the instructions in this section. The procedures are similar for all versions of NetWare. Procedures that are specific to a NetWare version are noted when necessary. 1. Make a backup copy of the old driver (if it exists) before installing the new driver. 2. Copy the aic7870.dsk driver from the 7800 Family Manager Set v2.0 diskette for NetWare into the server's startup directo- ry (e.g., c:/nwserver, c:\server.40, c:\server.312) on your hard disk. This overwrites any existing version of the driver in the directory. (NOTE: For NetWare v3.1x, the aic7870.dsk file is located in the\netware\v3_1x directory on the diskette; for NetWare v4.0 and v4.1x, the file is in \netware\v4_xx.) 3. If necessary, modify the load command line in the startup.ncf so that the proper path to the driver and all appropriate command line options are specified. The correct syntax to load the 7800 Family driver is load [pathname]aic7870[options] Command line options are not case sensitive. Placing commas between command line options is optional.

This feature ensures system reliability in industrial stand-alone and unmanned environments. APPENDIX Programming the watchdog timer If you decide to program the watchdog timer, you must write data to I/O port 443 (hex). The output data is a value timer. You can write from 80 (hex) to FF (hex) for input minute data plus from 00 (hex) to 7F (hex) for input second data, and the related timer is 0 second to 127 minutes plus 127 seconds sec. After data entry, your program must refresh the watchdog timer by rewriting the I/O port 443 (hex) while simultaneously setting it. When you want to disable the watchdog timer, your program should write I/O port 80 (hex) a Hex value. The following procedure is a sample program for the watchdog timer: • To start watchdog timer and set function "Reset" type; o 444 0 ; out 444h data 0 • To input Watchdog timers time-out interval of 3 minutes type; o 443 83 ; out 443h data 83 • To input Watchdog timers time-out interval of 5 seconds type; o 443 05 ; out 443h data 05 • To disable the watchdog timer type; o 80 x ; out 080h data x (x can be any Hex value) The time interval data of the watchdog timer is shown in binary code (8 bits). 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 x If bit 8 is "1" = To input "minute" If bit 8 is "0" = To input "second" 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 Sample 1: 3 minutes Sample 2: 5 seconds 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 1 66 SBC-570 User’s Manual B Installing PC/104 Modules This appendix gives instructions for installing PC/104 module. Appendix B Installing PC/104 Modules 67 APPENDIX Installing PC/104 modules The CPU Cards PC/104 connectors give you the flexibility to attach PC/104 expansion modules. These modules perform the functions of traditional plug-in expansion cards, but save space and valuable slots. Modules include: • PCM-3600 FAX/Modem Module • PCM-3420 Fast SCSI-2 Module • PCM-3200 Sound Module • PCM-3810 Solid State Disk Module • PCM-3820 High Density Flash Disk Module • PCM-3115 PCMCIA Module (two slots) • PCM-3610 Isolated RS-232 and RS-422/485 Module • PCM-3660 Ethernet Module • PCM-3718 30 KHz A/D Module • PCM-3724 48-channel DIO Module • PCM-3910 Breadboard Module To install these modules on the CPU Card is a quick and simple operation. The following steps show how to mount the PC/104 modules: Step1 Remove the CPU Card from your system paying particular attention to the safety instructions already mentioned above. Step2 Make any jumper or link changes required to the CPU card now. Once the PC/104 module is mounted you may have difficulty in accessing these. Step3 Normal PC/104 modules have "male" connectors and mount directly onto the main card. However, for reasons that ensure better bus matching, the connectors on the CPU Card and the PC/104 module are both "female". For this reason you need to plug-in a "male- male" adapter connecter (included with the CPU Card). Please refer to the following PC/104 module mounting diagram on the following page. After this is in place you then have the correct mounting connector to accept your PC/104 module. 68 SBC-570 User’s Manual Step4 Mount the PC/104 module onto the CPU card. Do this by pressing the module firmly but carefully onto the mounting connectors. Step5 Secure the PC/104 module onto the CPU card using the four mounting spacers and srews.
