Chapter 1 General Information
1.1 Introduction
The PCM-4141 is the ultimate cost-effective PC/104 solution for limited-
space applications. It offers all the functions of an AT-compatible indus-
trial computer on a single board, and occupies less space than a 3¾" hard
drive. The PCM-4141 comes with an embedded STPC Atlas 120 MHz
processor on board. For maximum performance, the PCM-4141 also sup-
ports on board memory that can accept up to 64 MB memory. Onboard
features include a socket for a CompactFlash™ Card, 100Base-T Ether-
net, Enhanced IDE interface, one parallel port, four serial ports (RS-232),
a keyboard, and a PS/2 mouse interface. A SVGA LCD display controller
allows CRT resolutions up to 1024 x 768 @ 16bpp colors, LCD resolu-
tions up to 1024 x 768 @ 16bpp colors.
PCM-4141 use the most industrial grade material and passed the Advan-
tech Phoebus testing profile. Very suitable for wide range temperature
operating, PCM-4141 can operate under -40~85° C environment temper-
ature and with the total onboard materials feature which can have the
strong anti-vibration feature. PCM-4141 is the best choice for rugguized
environment application.

Introduction
This chapter tells how to set up the
PCM-4141 hardware. It includes
instructions on setting jumpers and
connecting peripherals, switches and
indicators. Make sure you read all the
safety precautions before you begin the
installation procedure.

Warning: Make sure you use the correct component side.
Improper installation can cause serious damage
to your hardware!

2.3 Installation Procedures
2.4 Ethernet connector (CN6)
The PCM-4141 is equipped with a high performance 32-bit PCI-bus Fast
Ethernet interface which is fully compliant with IEEE 802.3u 100/
10Base-T specifications. It is supported by all major network operating
systems.
The medium type can be configured via the program included on the util-
ity disk. (See Chapter 5 for detailed information.)
2.4.1 Ethernet connector (CN6)
10/100Base-T connects to the PCM-4141 via an adapter cable to the 10-
pin 2 mm connector.
2.5 TFT panel connector (CN12)
CN12 is a 40-pin dual-in-line header and is used to connect an 18-bit
LCD TTL display to the PCM-4141.
Warning: 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 sensitive electronic components can be
damaged by a sudden rush of power.
Caution: Always ground yourself to remove any static
charge before touching the board. Modern elec-
tronic devices are very sensitive to static electric
charges. Use a grounding wrist strap at all times.
Place all electronic components on a static-dissi-
pative surface or in a static-shielded bag when
they are not in the chassis.

PCM-4141 User Manual 12
2.6 Serial ports (CN8)
The PCM-4141 offers four serial ports, three RS-232. These ports allow
you to connect to any serial device (a mouse, printers, etc.) or communi-
cation network.
2.6.1 COM1,COM2,COM3,COM4 RS-232 port (CN8)
The serial port connector's consist of a 10-pin dual-in-line pin head hous-
ing.
2.6.2 COM2 RS-232/422/485 port (CN3)
The secondary port, located above COM2, consists of two 10-pin, dual-
in-line pin head housing.
The IRQ and address range for these ports are fixed. However, if you
wish to disable the port or change these parameters later, you can do this
in the system BIOS setup. The table below shows the settings for the
PCM-4141 board's ports.
2.7 Primary IDE 44-pin connector (CN2)
The built-in Enhanced IDE (Integrated Device Electronics) controller
supports up to two IDE devices, including CD-ROM drives, tape backup
drives, a large hard disk drive and other IDE devices.
2.7.1 Connecting the hard drive
Connecting drives is done in a daisy-chain fashion. It requires one or two
cables, depending on the drive size. All necessary cables are included in
your PCM-4141 package. 1.8" and 2.5" drives need a 1 x 44-pin to 2 x
44-pin flat-cable connector. 3.5" drives need a 1 x 44-pin to 2 x 40-pin
connector.
Wire number 1 on the cable is red or blue, and the other wires are gray.
