Notice
Dear Customer,
Thank you for purchasing the PCM-5894/5892 board. This
user's manual is designed to help you get the most out of the PCM-
5894/5892, please read it thoroughly before you install and use the
board. The product that you have purchased comes with a one-
year limited warranty, but AAEON will not be responsible for
misuse of the product. Therefore, we strongly urge that you first
read the manual before using the product.
To receive the lastest version of the user manual, please visit our
Web site at:
http://www.aaeon.com

The PCM-5894/5892 adopts a "P9" type power connector
for operation.
Please be advised that the PCM-5894/5892 Rev.A3 or higher
revision requires a "P9" power connector for proper operation.
On the standard PS/2 power supplies, there are usually two
similar 6-pin power plugs. P8 has one +5V output while P9 has
three. +5V is normally indicated by red color so you should be
able to distinguish P9 from P8 by counting the number of red
wire. Many times, there are also markings on these two plugs
indicating which is which.
NOTE : Without any aditional devices, PCM-5894/5892
alone is +5V operational. -5V of P9 power
connector is not required.
** PLEASE be absolutely certain that you are using the correct
plug before continuing.
AAEON will not be responsible for any damages caused
by improper power input.
