2.4 Setting Jumpers
You may configure your card to match the needs of your application by setting jump-
ers. A jumper is a metal bridge used to close an electric circuit. 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.
The jumper settings are schematically depicted in this manual as follows:.
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 changes. Generally,
you simply need a standard cable to make most connections.
2.5 IDE, CDROM Hard Drive Connector (CN11)
The board provides 1 IDE channel which you can attach up to two Enhanced Inte-
grated Drive Electronics hard disk drives or CDROM to the board’s internal controller.
Its IDE controller uses a PCI interface. This advanced IDE controller supports faster
data transfer, PIO mode 3, mode 4 and up to UDMA33/66.
2.5.1 Connecting the Hard Drive
Connecting drives is done in a daisy-chain fashion. This package includes One
44PIN IDE cable that can connect to 1.8" and 2.5" drives.
1. Connect one end of the cable to Hard Drive connector. Make sure that the red
(or blue) wire corresponds to pin 1 on the connector, which is labeled on the
board (on the right side).
2. Plug the other end of the cable into the Enhanced IDE hard drive, with pin 1 on
the cable corresponding to pin 1 on the hard drive. (See your hard drive’s docu-
mentation for the location of the connector.)
If desired, connect a second drive as described above.
Unlike floppy drives, IDE hard drives can connect to either end of the cable. If you
install two drives, you will need to set one as the master and one as the slave by
using jumpers on the drives. If you install only one drive, set it as the master.

2.6 Flash
The board provides onboard NAND Flash memory to replace CF socket. PCM-4153
support 1 GB flash, flash Endurance about 100K Program/Erase cycles and Data
Retention for 10 Years .
Flash controller with excellent performance and low cost, designed by this controller
do not need to have additional mechanical parts, but have the properties of fully anti
vibration and extremely low power consumption.
On-board flash controller support IDE interface and support to PIO Mode 4.
2.7 Parallel Port Connector (CN19)
Normally, the parallel port is used to connect the cable to a printer. The board
includes a multi-mode (ECP/EPP) parallel port accessed via CN19 and a 26-pin flat-
cable connector. You will need an adapter cable if you use a traditional DB-25 con-
nector. The adapter cable has a 26-pin connector on one end, and a DB-25 connec-
tor on the other.
The parallel port is designated as LPT1, and can be disabled or changed to LPT2 or
LPT3 in the system BIOS setup.
The parallel port interrupt channel is designated to be IRQ7.
You can select ECP/EPP/ECP DMA channel via BIOS setup.
2.8 Keyboard and PS/2 Mouse Connector (CN18)
The board provides a keyboard connector that supports both a keyboard and a PS/2
style mouse. In most cases, especially in embedded applications, a keyboard is not
used. If the keyboard is not present, the standard PC/AT BIOS will report an error or
fail during power-on self-test (POST) after a reset. The PCM 4153’s BIOS standard
setup menu allows you to select “All, But Keyboard” under the “Halt On” selection.
This allows no-keyboard operation in embedded system applications, without the
system halting under POST.
2.9 Power Connectors (CN38)
2.9.1 Main Power Connector, +5 V, +12 V (CN38)
Supplies main power +5V to the PCM-4153, and to devices that require +12 V.
2.9.2 Power Reset Button
Momentarily pressing the reset button will activate a reset. The switch should be
rated for 10 mA, 5 V.
2.10 Audio Interfaces (CN34/35)
2.10.1 Audio Connector Audio-out(CN35), Audio-in(CN34)
The board provides all major audio signals on a 8-pin cable connector, These audio
signals include Microphone in (mono), Line in (stereo) and Line out (stereo).

2.11 COM Port Connector (CN20,CN30)
The board provides four serial ports: Four serial RS-232 ports in one Hirose 40 pin
connector(CN30: COM1/2/3/4). It provides connections for serial devices or a com-
munication network. You can find the pin assignments for the COM port connector in
Appendix C.
2.11.1 Serial Port RS-422/485 (CN20)
Serial port can be configured to operate in RS-422 and RS-485 mode. RS-422 and
RS-485 in one pinheader (CN20) and can be configured via CN39 connector..
2.12 VGA/LCD Interface Connections
The board’s PCI SVGA interface can drive conventional CRT displays and is capable
of driving a wide range of flat panel displays.
2.12.1 CRT Display Connector (CN27)
The CRT display connector is a 15-pin D-SUB connector used for conventional CRT
displays.
2.12.2 TTL TFT LCD Connector (CN4)
For PCM-4153 series, CN4 consists of a 40-pin connector which can support up to
24-bit LCD panel. It is Hirose’s product no. DF13A-40DP-1.25 V
2.13 Ethernet Configuration
The board is equipped with two high performance 32-bit PCI-bus Ethernet interface
which are fully compliant with IEEE 802.3U 10/100Mbps standards. They are sup-
ported by all major network operating systems.
2.13.1 100Base-T Connector (CN25, CN26)
100Base-T connections are made via two internal 10-pin box header.
2.14 Watchdog Timer Configuration
An onboard watchdog timer reduces the chance of disruptions which EMP (electro-
magnetic pulse) interference can cause. This is an invaluable protective device for
standalone or unmanned applications. Setup involves one jumper and running the
control software (refer to Appendix A).

2.15 USB Connectors (CN15,CN17)
The board provides up to four USB (Universal Serial Bus) ports using Plug and Play.
The USB interfaces comply with High Speed USB specification Rev. 2.0 which sup-
ports 480Mbps transfer rate, and are fuse protected.
The USB interface is accessed through two 5 x 2-pin flat-cable connectors. You will
need an adapter cable if you use a standard USB connector. The adapter cable has
a 5 x 2-pin connector on one end and a USB connector on the other.
The USB interfaces can be disabled in the system BIOS setup.
2.16 GPIO (General Purpose Input Output) (CN36/
CN37)
The board supports 8-bit GPIO through GPIO connector. The 8 digital inputs and out-
puts can be programmed to read or control devices, with each input or output
defined. The default setting is 8 bits input.
