2.1.3 Jumper Description
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.
2.1.4 External SPI Flash
The board provides optional onboard external SPI flash up to 4MB for bootable
devices and small storage using DOS Operating System. If required, please contact
with Advantech's sales rep to support onboard external SPI flash by request, and fol-
lows below steps to enable external SPI flash.
1. If you want to function external SPI flash as storage for read/ write in DOS OS,
please adjust BIOS SETUP \Advanced Chipset Features\Virtural Disk to
"Enabled". and then use "SPITOOL.exe" in Drive CD to format it, so that you
can read/write external SPI flash.
2. If you want to function external SPI flash as bootable device in DOS OS, please
make a DOS bootable disk in CF card or IDE hard drive, boot from DOS
bootable disk and then perform format A: /s to the external SPI flash. Next, set
BIOS SETUP\ Boot Device to "FLOPPY", so that you can boot from external
SPI DOS OS.
Warning! To avoid damaging the computer, always turn off the power supply
before setting jumpers. Clear CMOS. Before turning on the power sup-
ply, set the jumper back to 3.0 V Battery On.

2.2.2.7 USB Connectors (CN8, CN9)
The board provides up to four USB (Universal Serial Bus) ports. This gives complete
Plug and Play, and hot attach/detach for up to 127 external devices. The USB inter-
faces comply with USB specification Rev. 2.0 which supports 480 Mbps transfer rate,
and are fuse protected.
There are 5 x 2 pin 180D (M) connectors for internal use, 4 x USB ports CN8, CN9.
You will need an adapter cable if you use a standard USB connector. On one end the
adapter cable has a 5 x 2-pin connector with a foolproof connection to prevent it from
being plugged in the wrong way and on the other end a USB connector.
2.2.2.8 Main power connector, (CN11)
PCM-9343 can support 5V AT power supply. Supplies main power +5 V to the PCM-
9343, and to devices that require +12 V.
2.2.2.9 GPIO (General Purpose Input Output) (CN14)
The board supports 16-bit GPIO through GPIO connector. The 16 digital in and out-
puts can be programmed to read or control devices, with input or out- put defined.
The default setting is 8 bits input and 8 bits output.

32 x 2 (F) 2.54 mm 82.34 mm x 5.01 mm x 11.45 mm p = 3.40 mm
PC/104 negative voltage: One 3 * 1P pin header (CN10) supports -5 V/-12 V power
input for ISA devices.
2.2.2.11 SMBus Connector (CN15)
The System Management Bus (abbreviated to SMBus or SMB) is a simple two-wire
bus, derived from I2C and used for communication with low-bandwidth devices on a
motherboard, especially power related chips such as a laptop's rechargeable battery
subsystem (see Smart Battery Data). Other devices might include temperature, fan
or voltage sensors, lid switches and clock chips. PCI add-in cards may connect to a
SMBus segment.
The SMBus was defined by Intel in 1995. It carries clock, data, and instructions and
is based on Philips' I2C serial bus protocol. Its clock frequency range is 10 kHz to
100kHz. Its voltage levels and timings are more strictly defined than those of I2C, but
devices belonging to the two systems are often successfully mixed on the same bus.
2.2.2.12 Ethernet Configuration(CN18,CN20)
The board is equipped with 2 high performance 32-bit PCI-bus Ethernet interface
which is fully compliant with IEEE 802.3 10/100Mbps. It is supported by all major net-
work operating systems.
