PCM-9580 User’s Manual 2
Chapter 1 Introduction
1.1 Introduction
The PCM-9580 is a Socket 478 Pentium IV single board computer (SBC)
with Gigabit, USB 2.0, 2channel 48-bit LVDS, audio controller, a 4X
AGP SVGA controller, one PCI slot and TV-out function. It supports
Pentium IV up to 3.06 GHz. The PCM-9580’s design is based on the
5.25" form factor that provides support for PCI module expansion. The
5.25" form factor also provides a convenient connector layout for easy
assembly, more efficient cable connections and better overall embedded
system integration. This compact (only 5.75” x 8”) unit offers all the
functions of a single board industrial computer, but still fits in the space
of a 5.25” CD-ROM drive.
On-board features include, four serial ports, one multi-mode parallel
(ECP/EPP/SPP) port, 4 USB (Universal Serial Bus) 1.1/2.0 ports, an
optional floppy drive controller, and a keyboard/PS/2 mouse interface.
The built-in high-speed PCI IDE controller supports both PIO and
UDMA/100 bus master modes. Up to four IDE devices can be con-
nected, including large hard disks, CD-ROM drives, and tape backup
drives.
The PCM-9580 features power management to minimize power con-
sumption. It complies with the “Green Function” standard and supports
Doze, Standby and Suspend modes. In addition, the board‘s watchdog
timer can automatically reset the system or generate an interrupt if the
system stops due to a program bug or EMI.
Highly integrated multimedia SBC
The PCM-9580 is a highly integrated multimedia SBC that combines
audio, video, and network functions on a single computer board the size
of a 5.25" CD-ROM drive. It provides an AC-97 interface and supports
Line-in,Line-out, and MIC-in via Optional PCM-232 audio module, and
up to 1600 x 1200 resolution @ 16.8 M colors with 8 to 64MB frame
buffer with system memory. Major on-board devices adopt PCI technol-
ogy, to achieve outstanding computing performance when used with
Intel® Pentium®IV processors. The PCM-9580 also supports an TV-out
for NTSC/PAL multimedia applications.

2.4 Setting Jumpers
You may configure your card to match the needs of your application by
setting jumpers. A jumper is a metal bridge used to close an electric cir-
cuit. 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.

PCM-9580 User’s Manual 12
2.5 Clear CMOS (SW1)
This jumper is used to erase CMOS data and reset system BIOS informa-
tion.
The procedure for clearing CMOS is:
1. Turn off the system.
2. Push SW1
3. Turn on the system. The BIOS is now reset to its default setting
2.6 Installing DIMMs
The procedure for installing DIMMs is described below. Please follow
these steps carefully. The number of pins are different on either side of
the breaks, so the module can only fit in one way. DIMM modules have
different pin contacts on each side, and therefore have a higher pin den-
sity.
1. Make sure that the two handles of the DIMM socket are in the
“open” position. i.e. The handles remain leaning outward.
2. Slowly slide the DIMM module along the plastic guides on both
ends of the socket.
3. 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 of the socket.
To remove the memory module, just push both handles outward, and the
module will be ejected from the socket.
Warning! To avoid damaging the computer, always turn off
the power supply before setting “Clear CMOS.”
Before turning on the power supply, set the
jumper back to “3.0 V Battery On.”
