1.1 Introduction
The PFM-336I comes equipped with an embedded
microcontroller ALi M6117C which is Intel386SX-40
compatible. In addition, it comes with two serial ports
(RS-232), one bi-directional printer port supporting
SPP, ECP and EPP modes, and IDE HDD interface
and a floppy disk controller. With its industrial grade
reliability, the PFM-336I can operate continuously at
temperature up to 140°F (60°C).
The PFM-336I is specially designed as a compact
all-in-one CPU card which incorporates a PC/104
connector into its design, making non-passive
backplane SBC applications possible. The numerous
features provide an ideal price/performance solution
for high-end commercial and industrial applications
where stability and reliability are essential.
The PFM-336I features an SVGA interface which
supports CRT and Flat Panel (TFT, STN and Mono
displays), with 512KB onboard display memory.

2.1 Safety Precautions
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 a sudden rush of power can
damage sensitive electronic components.
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. Place all electronic components on a
static-dissipative surface or in a static-shielded
bag when they are not in the chassis

2.6 Setting Jumpers
You configure your card to match the needs of your
application by setting jumpers. 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.
123
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 change.
Generally, you simply need a standard cable to make most
connections.
