.0 Installation
This chapter explains how to set up the Pegasus hardware, including instructions on setting
jumpers and connecting peripherals, switches and indicators. Be sure to read all the safety
precautions before you begin the installation procedure.
.1 CPU Installation & Upgrade
The Pegasus provides a Zero Insertion Force (ZIF) socket (socket 370 type) for easy CPU
installation.
1. Make sure the ZIF socket lever is in the upright position. To raise the lever, pull it out to
the side a little and raise it as far as it will go.
2. Place the CPU in the empty socket. Follow the instructions that came with the CPU. If you
have no instructions, do the following:
3. Carefully align the CPU so it is parallel to the socket and the notch on the corner of the
CPU corresponds with the notch on the inside of the socket. Gently slide the CPU in. It
should insert easily. If it doesn‘t, it is probably not installed correctly or the lever is not fully
released.
4. Press the lever down. The plate will slide forward. You will feel some resistance as the
pressure starts to secure the CPU in the socket. This is normal and will not damage the
CPU.
When the CPU is installed, the lever should snap into place at the side of the socket.
Note: To remove a CPU, pull the lever out to the side a little and raise it as far as it will go. Lift out
the CPU chip.
Note also that the CPU clock speed and operating voltage is automatically detected by the SBC
and there are no jumper options for these settings.
. DRAM (DIMM) Installation & Upgrade
Doc # 98-37844-00 Rev. 1.1 02/12/02
Always disconnect the power cord from Pegasus when you are working on it.
Do not make connections while the power is on as sensitive electronic
components can be damaged by the sudden rush of power. Only experienced
electronics personnel should install and/or maintain Pegasus.
Always ground yourself to remove any static charge before touching the PC
board. 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.

PEGASUS
You can install anywhere from 8MB to 256MB of on-board DRAM memory using one 8, 16, 32,
64, 128 or 256MB 168-pin DIMM. Note: The modules can only fit into a socket one way and
their gold fingers must point down into the DIMM socket. The procedure for installing DIMMs
appears below. Please follow these steps carefully.
1. Ensure that all power supplies to the system are switched off.
2. Locate the DIMM near the Pegasus DIMM socket so that its gold fingers point down into the
DIMM socket.
3. The DIMM module has two notches on its edge connector. Ensure that the notches are facing
away from the CPU.
4. Gently push the DIMM vertically down until the ejector tabs of the DIMM sockets snap into
place.
.3 Jumpers
The Pegasus SBC contains various jumpers that allow configuration of the board to suit your
application. Table 2-1 lists the function of each Pegasus jumper:
Jumper Function
J1 Firmware hub lock\unlock
J2 PC104 +VIO select
J3 CMOS battery normal\clear CMOS
J4 CPLD Program Connector
J5 CPLD Program Connector
J6 Internal speaker enable\disable
J7 IDE tri-state buffer control
J8 PCI VIO select and PCI pin A26 select
Table 2-1
.3.1 Locating Jumpers
All option jumpers begin with the Jx designator. They can be located as follows:
12

PEGASUS
Figure 2-1
.3. Setting Jumpers
The option jumpers configure the Pegasus to match the needs of your application. 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 jumpers are represented in this manual as follows:
A pair of needle-nose pliers is helpful when working with jumpers. If you have any doubts about
the best hardware configuration for your application, contact your local FlexStar distributor or
technical support representative before you make any changes.

.4.5 CN4 – Parallel Port Connector
The parallel port may be used to connect a printer. The Pegasus includes a multi-mode
(ECP/EPP/SPP) parallel port, accessed through CN4, a 26-pin flat-cable connector. You will need
an adapter cable if you use a traditional DB-25 connector. The adapter cable has a 26-pin
connector on one end and a DB-25 connector on the other. The parallel port is designated as
LPT1 and can be disabled or changed to LPT2 or LPT3 in the system BIOS setup. The parallel
port interrupt channel is designated to be IRQ7. You can select ECP/EPP DMA channel via BIOS
setup.

The Pegasus board also contains a GPIO (General Purpose I/O) port that can be used to control
and/or monitor an external custom piece of hardware. Fourteen (14) are available for custom
control. The GPIO bits 0 - 7 are read/written through the Super I/O chip W83627 GP1 register bits
0 – 7. GPIO bits 8 – 15 are read/written through the Super I/O chip’s GP3 register bits 0 – 7. The

.4.7 CN6 – PC104 PLUS Connector
Pegasus allows the addition of PC104 Plus compatible devices via CN6. The PC104 Plus bus is
a PCI compatible bus that utilizes a PC104 stackable type interface connector.
.4.8 CN7 – VGA & Keyboard Connector
The Pegasus PCI SVGA interface can drive conventional CRT displays and is capable of driving a
wide range of flat panel displays, including electro luminescent (EL), gas plasma, passive LCD
and active LCD displays. The board has two connectors to support these displays, one for
standard CRT VGA monitors and one for flat panel displays. Note that this connector also
supports a keyboard and that the keyboard signals are duplicated on CN8.

.4.9 CN8 – PS/ Mouse & Keyboard Connector
The Pegasus board provides a keyboard connector that supports both a keyboard and a PS/2
style mouse. In some cases, especially in embedded applications, a keyboard and/or mouse may
not be used. The standard PC/AT BIOS will report an error or fail during power-on self-test
(POST) after a reset if the keyboard is not present. The Pegasus BIOS standard setup menu
allows you to select “All, But Keyboard” under the “Halt On” selection. This allows no-keyboard
operation in embedded system applications without the system halting under POST (power-on-
self-test).

The Pegasus is equipped with a high performance 32-bit PCI-bus Ethernet interface, which is fully
compliant with IEEE 802.3U 10/100Mbps CSMA/CD standards. It is supported by all major
network operating systems. 10 or 100Base-T connects to the Pegasus via an adapter cable to a
10-pin polarized header (CN9). For 10Base-T RJ-45 operation, an adapter cable converting CN9
into a standard RJ-45 jack is required.
