Introduction
The PCM-3335 comes equipped with an embedded microcontroller
ALI M6117 which is Intel 386SX-40 compatible. In addition, it
comes with two serial ports (RS-232), one bi-directional printer port
supporting SPP, ECP and EPP modes, an IDE HDD interface and a
floppy disk controller. With its industrial grade reliability, the PCM-
3335 can operate continuously at temperatures up to 140º F (60º C).
The PCM-3335 is specially designed as a compact all-in-one CPU
card which incorporates a PC/104 connector into its design, making
non-passive backplane SBC applications possible. The numerous
features provide an ideal price/performance solution for high-end
commercial and industrial applications where stability and reliability
are essential.
The PCM-3335 features an SVGA interface which supports CRT and
Flat Panel (TFT, STN, Mono and EL displays), with 512 KB on-board
display memory.

Jumpers and connectors
Connectors on the board link it to external devices such as hard
disk drives, a keyboard, or floppy drives. In addition, the board
has a number of jumpers that allow you to configure your system
to suit your application.

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 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 represen-
tative before you make any changes.
Generally, you simply need a standard cable to make most
connections.

Safety precautions
Warning! Always completely disconnect the power cord
from your chassis whenever you are working on
it. Do not make connections while the power is
on because sensitive electronic components can
be damaged by the sudden rush of power. Only
experienced electronics personnel should open
the PC chassis.
Caution! Always ground yourself to remove any static
charge before touching the CPU card. Modern
electronic devices are very sensitive to static
electric charges. Use a grounding wrist strap at
all times. Place all electronic components on a
static-dissipative surface or in a static-shielded
bag when they are not in the chassis.

10 PCM-3335 User's Manual
IDE hard drive connections
(HARD CON.)
You can attach two Enhanced Integrated Device Electronics hard
disk drives to the PCM-3335's internal controller. The card comes
with a 40-pin flat cable.
Connecting the hard drive
Wire number 1 on the cable is red or blue, and the other wires are
gray.
1. Connect one end of the cable to the IDE connector. Make sure
that the red (or blue) wire corresponds to pin 1 on the connec-
tor, which is labeled on the board (on the right side).
2. Plug the other end of the cable to the Enhanced IDE hard
drive, with pin 1 on the cable corresponding to pin 1 on the
hard drive. (See your hard drive's documentation for the
location of the connector.)
Unlike floppy drives, you can make the connections with any of
the connectors on the cable. If you install two drives, you will
need to set one as the master and one as the slave. You do this
using jumpers on the drives. If you install just one drive, set it as
the master.

Floppy drive connections (FLOPPY CON.)
You can attach up to two floppy disks to the PCM-3335's on-board
controller. You can use any combination of 5¼" (360 KB and 1.2
MB) and/or 3½" (720 KB, 1.44 MB, and 2.88 MB) drives.
The PCM-3335 CPU card comes with a 34-pin daisy-chain drive
connector cable. On one end of the cable is a 34-pin flat-cable
connector. There are two sets of floppy disk drive connectors,
one in the middle, and one on the other end. Each set consists of
a 34-pin flat-cable connector (usually used for 3.5" drives) and a
printed-circuit board connector (usually used for 5.25" drives).
Connecting the floppy drive
1. Plug the 34-pin flat-cable connector into the floppy disk
connector.
2. Attach the appropriate connector on the other end of the cable
to the floppy drive(s). You can use only one connector in the
set. The set on the end (after the twist in the cable) connects
to the A: floppy. The set in the middle connects to the B:
floppy.

Parallel port (PRINTER PORT)
Normally, the parallel port is used to connect the card to a printer.
The PCM-3335 includes an on-board parallel port, accessed
through PRINTER PORT, and a 26-pin flat-cable connector. The
CPU card comes with an adapter cable, which lets you use a
traditional DB-25 connector. The cable has a 26-pin connector on
one end and a DB-25 connector on the other, mounted on a
retaining bracket.
Installing the retaining bracket
The retaining bracket installs at an empty slot in your system's
chassis. It provides an external port that allows your parallel
peripheral to access to the card's parallel port connector.
1. Find an empty slot in your chassis.
2. Unscrew the plate that covers the end of the slot.
3. Screw in the bracket in place of the plate.
4. Next, attach the flat-cable connector to PRINTER PORT. Wire
1 of the cable is red or blue, and the other wires are gray. Make
sure that Wire 1 connects to Pin 1 of PRINTER PORT. Pin 1 is
on the right side of PRINTER PORT.
