TB230 (Rev1) - PCM-8152 3rd Generation Aaeon motherboard kit Installation
Instructions for M15-6 to M15-10 Consoles
Introduction: This document will provide you with the necessary instructions to install a PCM-8152 motherboard kit in an M15-6
through M15-10 console. Make sure you read the entire document before going to do the install.
Materials List:
PCM-8152 motherboard
PC104 extender board
DVI to TTL daughter board and cable
LCD cable and descrambler shaped bracket
1Gb DDR RAM
80 strand IDE cable
PS2 keyboard & mouse cable
COM port ribbon cable
2 port USB cable
RJ45 Ethernet cable
300W ATX PS w/ brackets and power cable
SSHD w/ Linux software install mounted on bracket
Motherboard mounting plate
5x 6-32x1/2 standoffs with threaded holes on both ends
4x 6-32x1/2 standoffs
4x custom 5mm offset standoffs
4x 6-32x1 standoffs
4x 6-32x1/2 setscrews
3x DB9 ribbon cable extenders
USB connector panel
DB25, KB, & Ethernet blank out covers
Console fan/DP4 power cable
Drive/inverter power cable
60cfm 80mm fan w/ Molex connector
2x L-brackets for mounting 80mm fan
Note: The kit will come with the Aaeon MB and 80mm fan mounted to the mounting plate and the special standoffs mounted onto the
MB.
Procedure:
1. Remove floppy drive bay, CPU7, MB, and power supply from M15.

2. Mark and drill the 4 holes for the motherboard mounting plate. (see picture 1)
Picture 1: Red circles indicate the 4 holes you need to mark on the M15 base to drill and mount the MB mounting plate.
3. Position the ATX power supply so the fan is blowing towards the MB. Make sure the angle bracket is on the bottom of the ATX PS
and mark your two holes. If possible try to reuse at least one of the existing holes to avoid turning the bottom of the M15 into Swiss
cheese. Drill your hole(s) and mount the PS to the bottom of the M15.
4. Make whatever modifications necessary to connect the ATX PS 110VAC cable to the 110VAC connection on the back panel of the
M15.
5. Install the 3x DB9 ribbon cable extenders to the back panel; make sure you mount the blue connectors to the back panel. Plug the
KB, Ethernet, and DB25 holes in the back panel with the supplied plugs and covers.
6. Place the motherboard mounting pan with the MB mounted on it into the M15 and secure with 4x 6-32x1/4 screws.

7. Connect ATX power connector into MB and LCD cable into the LCD, and then connect the ATX PS to the 80mm fan, the console
fan/digitizer power cable, and the inverter/drive power cable. Power up the MB and verify it powers on. If that looks ok, install the
CPU7P3 card into the PC104 socket and connect the IDE cable to the SSHD. Now power on and verify the system boots into the
software. (see picture 2)

8. If the console boots up into the software, shut it down. Then connect the ribbon cable extenders to the CPU7, the jog panel cable to
the CPU7 and install standoffs and metal cover over the CPU7. Using the metal spacers and 6-32x1/2? screws used to secure the
descrambler board, secure the metal bracket provided with the kit that has the same shape as a descrambler board.

9. Mount USB cables, Ethernet, KB and mouse connectors to I/O panel. Take the floppy drive bay and flip it 180 degrees from its
normal orientation, so the bottom is against the side wall of the M15. Mount the SSHD into the floppy drive bay. Place the I/O panel
where the plastic went for the floppy drive door, then place the floppy drive bay against the I/O panel and secure from the back with 6-
32 screws. (see picture 2)
Picture 2: This is how the I/O panel and floppy drive bay w/ SSHD should be mounted.
10. Re-connect the PLC/drive lid to the M15, and then plug in a keyboard and power up the console. Install your Linux configuration or
refer to TB167 to convert your DOS CNC7 files to Linux CNC10 files.
11. Once the configuration and program files are loaded onto the system re-install the M15 control onto the machine and test it out.
