STARTUP MANUAL
PCM-3614I
4-port RS-232/422/485 Module
The PCM-3614I is a PCI-104 compatible module
with 4 individually configurable RS-232/422/485
ports. The PCM-3614I also features high
transmission speeds, independent/shared IRQ’s, a
high-performance 16C550 UART communication
chip with 16-byte FIFO to reduce CPU load, and
more. These function settings include Standard/
Enhance, Independent/Shared IRQ & Speed modes.
We carefully inspected the PCM-3614I both
mechanically and electrically before we shipped it.
It should be free of marks and scratches and in per-
fect electrical order on receipt.
Handle the board only by its edges. The static
charge on your body may damage its integrated cir-
cuits. Keep the card in its anti-static package when-
ever it is not installed. You can use this package to
return the card if it should need repair.
• 4 Independent RS-232/422/485 serial ports
• Automatic RS-485 data flow control

• Operation Humidity: 0% ~ 90%
|Relative Humidity, non-condensing
Card Configuration
The max configuration for the PCI bus of PCI-104
modules is FOUR plus the host board. If you stack
more than one PCI-104 module to a host board be
sure to set the modules to different PCI numbers
through SW2.
SW1 Settings
1. Use pin 5 ~ 8 on SW1 to determine mode of
port 0 to port 3 as RS-422 or RS-485. The pin
number and port number are mapping directly.
• “ON” is RS-485 mode. “OFF” is RS-422 mode.
• For example, pin 5 is mapping to port 0. So if
you set pin 5 to “ON”, it means port 0 is RS-
485 mode.
• If you set pin 5 to “OFF”, it means port 0
becomes RS-422 mode.

2. When you set selected port as RS-422 mode, use pin
1 ~ 4 on SW1 to determine port 0 to port 3 as Master
or Auto mode.
• (Auto mode means corresponding port will auto-
matically configure itself as master or slave). The
pin number and port number are mapping directly.
• “ON” is Master mode. “OFF” is Auto mode.
• For example, when port 0 is set as RS-422 mode.
pin 1 is mapping to port 0. So if you set pin 1 to
“ON”, it means port 0 is Master mode.
• If you set pin 1 to “OFF”, it means port 0 becomes
Auto mode.

Hardware Installation
Installing the Module on a CPU Card:
1. Turn the PC power off. Turn the power off to any
peripheral devices such as printers and monitors.
2. Disconnect the power cord and any other cables from
the back of the computer.
3. Remove the system unit cover
4. Remove the CPU card from the chassis (if necessary)
to gain access to the card’s PCI-104 connector.
5. Screw the brass spacer (included with the module)
into the threaded hole on the CPU card. Do not
tighten too much, or the threads may be damaged.
6. Carefully align the pins of the PCM-3614I with the
PCI-104 connector. Slide the module into the con-
nector, do not push too hard.
7. Secure the module to the CPU card to the threaded
hole in the CPU card using the included screw.
8. Attach any accessories to the PCM-3614I.
9. Reinstall the CPU card and replace the system unit
cover. Reconnect the cables you removed in step 2.
10. Turn the power on.
Connecting to Another PCI-104 Module:
1. Insert the pins of connector CN15 into the piggy-
back connector on the other PCI-104 module.
2. Screw the PCM-3614I to the brass spacer. This com-
pletes the hardware installation
Pin Assignments and Jumper Settings
