1.1 Introduction
The PCN-6351/6351L is a half-size ISA-bus CPU card. It features
powerful on-board functions such as VGA, LCD, LAN and SSD,
making it is versatile enough to meet the needs of a host of different
applications.
Embedded Pentium®MMX CPU
The PCN-6351/6351L is equipped with Intel's new embedded
Pentium®MMX CPU (75 to 233 MHz). The CPU provides high
performance with low power consumption and better thermal manage-
ment. This makes the PCN-6351/6351L ideal for POS terminals,
ATMs, and industrial and embedded applications.
Note 1: Wake-on-LAN must be set at "Active Low" in order
to work properly.
Note 2: The PCA-6104NP2 and PCA-6106NP3 backplanes'
PCI Slot 1 is set as "Passive PCI". If "Active PCI" is
required in your application, please use other PCI
slots.
Note 3: In order for the Power Up by Alarm function to work,
you must wait until the FDD's POST procedure has
been completed, and only then turn off the system.
Note 4: After a system shutdown, it is advisable to wait 10
seconds before turning on the system power again.
This helps to protect the CPU board.

1.4 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. Do not 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 dissipa-
tive mat when you are working with it. Wear a grounding wrist
strap for continuous protection.

1.5 Jumper Settings
This section tells how to set the jumpers to configure your card. It
gives the card default configuration and your options for each jumper.
After you set the jumpers and install the card, you will also need to
run the BIOS Setup program (discussed in Chapter 3) to configure the
serial port addresses, floppy/hard disk drive types and system operat-
ing parameters. Connections, such as hard disk cables, are explained
in Chapter 2.
For the location of each jumper, see the board layout diagram shown
earlier in this chapter.
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 cap (often protected by a
plastic cover) that slides over the pins to connect them. To "close" a
jumper, connect the pins with the cap. To "open" a jumper, remove
the cap. Sometimes a jumper will have three pins, labeled 1, 2 and 3.
In this case, connect either pins 1 and 2 or 2 and 3.
You may find a pair of needle-nose pliers useful for setting the
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.

1.6 Clock Speed Setup
1.6.1 CPU frequency ratio setting (SW1)
Clock speed setup procedure:
1. Check your CPU speed and type (eg. Intel®P-133).
2. From a suitable CPU relationship chart, find your CPU's corre-
sponding clock speed and frequency ratio setting (eg. 133 MHz =
66 MHz x 2).
3. Set the CPU's frequency ratio on SW1, and consult your CPU's
manufacturer for any further information regarding your selection.

1.8.2 Watchdog timer and RTC settings (JP3)
An on-board watchdog timer reduces the chance of disruptions caused
by EMP (elecro-magnetic pulse) interface. It is an invaluable protec-
tive for standalone or unmanned applications. Setup involves two
jumpers and running the control software. (Refer to Appendix A.)

1.9 Installing System Memory (DIMMs)
You can install anywhere from 8 to 256 MB of SDRAM into your
PCN-6351/6351L card. The card provides two 144-pin DIMM
sockets. Each socket accepts 8, 16, 32, 64 or 128 MB 3.3 V power
level DIMMs. If only one DIMM module is required, it can be
installed in DIMM socket on the solder side of the PCN-6351/6351L
board.
1.9.1 Installing DIMMs
The procedure for installing DIMMs is described below. Please follow
these steps carefully. The nimber of pins is different on either side of
the breaks, so the module can only fit in one way. SDRAM DIMM
modules have different pin contacts on each side, and therefore have a
higher pin density.
1. Make sure that all power supplies to the system are switched off.
2. Make sure that the two handles of the DIMM socket are in the
"open" position. i.e. The handles remain leaning outward.
3. Slowly slide the DIMM module along the plastic guides on both
ends of the socket.
4. Press the DIMM module right down into the socket, until you hear
a click. This is when the two handles have automatically locked
the memory module into the correct position on the DIMM socket.
To take out a memory module, just push both handles outward, and
the module will be ejected by the mechanism in the socket.

CHAPTER
Connecting
Peripherals
This chapter tells how to connect
peripherals, switches and indicators to the
PCN-6351/6351L board. You can access
most of the connectors from the top of the
board while it is installed in the chassis. If
you have a number of cards installed, or
your chassis is very tight, you may need
to partially remove the card to make all
the connections.
