1.1 Introduction
The POD-6704 all-in-one industrial grade package FC-PGA CPU
card uses Intel’s highly acclaimed Celeron® processor or Pentium®
III processor, together with the Intel 815E PCI chipset.
The CPU provides 128/256 KB (or 256/512 KB for Pentium III) on-
CPU L2 cache, eliminating the need for external SRAM chips. It
has two PCI EIDE interfaces for up to four devices, a miniPCI
socket on solder side, and a floppy disk drive interface for up to
two devices. Other features include two RS-232 serial ports
(16C550 UARTs with 16-byte FIFO or compatible), one enhanced
parallel port (supports SPP/EPP/ECP) and two USB (Universal
Serial Bus) ports. The PCI enhanced IDE controller supports Ultra
DMA100, Ultra DMA33 and PIO Mode 3 or 4 operation. This
provides data transfer rates of over 33 MB/sec. System BIOS
supports boot-up from an IDE, CD-ROM, USB devices, and LS-
120.
A backup of CMOS data is stored in the Flash memory, which
protects data even after a battery failure. Also included a 62-level
Watchdog timer which resets the CPU if a program cannot be
executed normally. This enables reliable operation in unattended
environments.
The POD-6704 offers several impressive industrial features such as
VGA (AGP) controller, one DIMM slot for up to 512 MB RAM
memory and four 10/100Base-T Ethernet controllers. In addition,
the POD-6704 series supports a solid state disk (SSD) using a
CompactFlash™ Type II disk that is not as vulnerable to the
hazards of an industrial computing environment. These features
make it an ideal choice for applications that require both high
performance and full functionality.

Installation
This chapter tells how to set up the
POD-6704 hardware. It includes instructions
on setting jumpers, and connecting
peripherals, switches and indicators. Be
sure to read all the safety precautions
before you begin the installation procedure.

2.1 Safety Precautions
Follow these simple precautions to protect yourself from harm and
your PC from damage.
1. To avoid electric shock, always disconnect the power from your
PC chassis before you work on it. Don't touch any components on
the CPU card or other cards while the PC is on.
2. Disconnect power before making any configuration changes. The
sudden rush of power as you connect a jumper or install a card
may damage sensitive electronic components.
3. Always ground yourself to remove any static charge before you touch
your CPU card. Be particularly careful not to touch the chip
connectors. Modern integrated electronic devices, especially CPUs
and memory chips, are extremely sensitive to static electric discharges
and fields. Keep the card in its antistatic packaging when it is not
installed in the PC, and place it on a static dissipative mat when you are
working with it. Wear a grounding wrist strap for continuous
protection.

2.4 Setting jumpers
You configure your card to match the needs of your application by
setting jumpers. A jumper is the simplest kind of electric switch. 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, connect the pins with the clip. To “open” a
jumper, 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. Setting switches is slightly different but more simple.
Simply slide the desired switch to the on or off position. In the
example below, the 6 element switch would be. 1:off, 2:on, 3:off,
4:off, 5:off, 6:off.
If you have any doubts about the best hardware configuration for
your application, contact your local distributor or sales
representative.
