3. Safety Instructions
3.1. Safety Instructions for the Lithium Battery
The PCI-960 board is equipped with a Lithium battery. For the replacing of this battery please observe the instructions
described in the chapter 10.1.4.1 ”Replacing the Lithium Battery”.
Caution!
Danger of explosion when replaced with wrong type of battery. Replace the battery only with UL listed
Lithium battery that has the same or equivalent type recommended by Kontron.
Do not dispose of lithium batteries in domestic waste. Dispose of the battery according to the local
regulations dealing with the disposal of these special materials (e.g. to the collecting points for the
disposal of batteries).
3.2. Basic Safety and EMC Compatibility
The PCI-960 board is a fixed component that shall be installed into a stationary system by applying good engineering
practices and respecting the information on the intended use of the components with a view to meeting the protection
requirements [refer to (a) and (b)].
The PCI-960 board was designed and manufactured, having regard to the state of the art, as to ensure that:
(a) the electromagnetic disturbance generated does not exceed the level above which radio and telecommunications
equipment or other equipment cannot operate as intended;
(b) it has a level of immunity to the electromagnetic disturbance to be expected in its intended use which allows it to
operate without unacceptable degradation of its intended use.
The PCI-960 board was designed, manufactured and checked according to the basic safety requirements in the scope of
the low-voltage (LVD) directive.

4. Important Instructions

4. Important Instructions
The manufacturer’s instructions provide useful information on your PCI-960 board.
4.1. Electrostatic Discharge (ESD)
The components on the board are sensitive to static electricity. Care must therefore be exercised at all times during
handling and inspection of the PCI-960 board, in order to ensure the product integrity.
❏Do not handle this product while it is outside its protective enclosure, while it is not used for operational purposes,
unless it is otherwise anti-static protected.
❏Unpack or install this product only at EOS/ESD safe workstations. When safe work station are not guaranteed, it is
important for the user to be electrically discharged before touching the PCI-960 board with his/her hands or tools.
This is most easily done by touching a metal part of your system housing.
❏Only hold the assemblies at the edge.
❏Do not touch any connection pins or conductors on the assembly.
4.2. Note on the Warranty
Due to their limited service life, parts which, by their nature, are especially subject to wear (wearing parts) are not
included in the guarantee beyond the legal stipulations. This applies to the batteries, for example.
4.3. Exclusion of Accident Liability Obligation
Kontron Embedded Computers shall be exempted from the statutory accident liability obligation if the user fails to
observe the safety instructions.
4.4. Liability Limitation / Exemption from the Warranty Obligation
In the event of damage to the device caused by failure to observe the hints in this manual and eventually on the device
(especially the safety instructions), Kontron Embedded Computers shall not be required to honor the warranty even
during the warranty period and shall be exempted from the statutory accident liability obligation.
4.5. General Instruction on Usage
In order to ensure safe operation, the user must observe the instructions and warnings contained in this manual.
❏The PCI-960 board must be used in accordance with the instructions for use.
❏The PCI-960 board is designed to be built-in to a system, which fulfill all necessary technical and environmental
requirements.
❏When installing the board into a system, ensure that the system is switched off and the systems power cord is
disconnected from the power source. Disconnect all cable connections of peripheral devices from the system.
❏Ensure that the DC operating voltages adheres to the specification given in the “Electrical Specifications”.
❏Only devices and components which fulfill the requirements of a SELV circuit (security extra low voltage) in
accordance with IEC / EN 60950-1 may be connected to the interfaces of the PCI-960 board.

6. Board Description
8 PCI-960 – User’s Manual (V1.02)
6. Board Description
The PCI-960 is a multifunctional full-size PICMG 1.3 Slot-CPU, designed for use in highly integrated platforms for a wide
range of application.
Depending on the ordered configuration, the board can be equipped with an “Intel® Core™ Duo/Solo” or an ”Intel® Core
2 Duo” processor. Adopting the Intel® 945GM in combination with Intel® ICH7R chipset the board provides a PSB
(Processor Side Bus) of 667 MHz and a 32 bit @ 33MHz PCI-Bus.
This generic processing engine board is targeted at a broad range of applications requiring PCI-, PCIe x1- , PCIe x16-
Bus support with low power while offering high performance processing, and with a good graphic solutions in a full-size
environment.
The implemented Intel® 945GM chipset provides up to 2x 2GB DDR2 SDRAM (Double DATA Rate, second generation)
memory.
The Intel® 945GM includes the “Intel® Gen 3.5 Integrated Graphics Engine“, that offers 2D and 3D graphic acceleration
and supports analog (VGA).
One PCIe x16 for external PCI Express-based graphics card (routed to the PICMG1.3 edge connector). LVDS and TV-
out are also supported by the integrated graphics.
The used Intel® ICH7R supports one onboard IDE channel (IDE 0) [up to two IDE-devices (1x “Master”, 1x “Slave”)] and
four SATA II channels. Each of the four SATA ports (two of them on-board and two routed to the PICMG 1.3 edge
connector) supports one storage device such as: hard disk, DVD, CD-ROM, etc. The SATA connectors feature the
clamp and latch design.
The ICH7R provides support for Intel® Matrix Storage Technology providing integrated RAID functionality (RAID 0, 1, 5
and 10). Several options for RAID (Redundant Array of Independent Disks) configuration are available in order to meet
the needs of the end user.
The CompactFlash is shared with the IDE channel.
The supported USB 2.0 ports, serial ports and intrusion alarm connector (Intruder) offer more flexibility for the
configuration of your system. The ALC655 is an AC’97 compatible Audio Codec and supports audio from ICH7R chipset
providing analog Line-in/out, Mic-In, SPDIF and CD-In on-board connectors.
Other function consists of two Realtek RTL8111B Gigabit Ethernet Controllers for the 10/100/1000 Base-TX Gigabit
Ethernet LAN ports. Each Gigabit Ethernet Controller is connected to a dedicated PCI Express x1 interface of the ICH7R
chipset.
A third Gigabit Ethernet interface is supported (routed to the PICMG 1.3 edge connector) via PCI Bus and one Realtek
RTL8110S Ethernet controller.
A 32 bit MiniPCI expansion slot is available for feature extension such as wireless LAN, DES, modem or capture card.
The PCI-960 always requires a backplane for powering.

9.1.2. Jumpers on the PCI-960
The jumpers on the PCI-960 allow you to configure your CPU card according to the needs of your applications.
In order to change a jumper setting, turn off the computer by use of the ATX-power supply switch. If
your power supply has no On/Off switch, disconnect the main power source. Otherwise, the board
could be damaged.
The following examples show the conventions used in this section.

9.1.2.1. JP4: Jumper for CompactFlash™ Card Selection as Master or Slave
This jumper is used to connect the CompactFlash™ as master or slave device on the IDE.

Pin 1-2
Open(Default) Slave
When connecting a CompactFlash on J8 (IDE port), make sure that you configure one device as master
and the other as slave. Two master devices (or two slave devices) must not be installed on the IDE
channel at the same time.
If using CF, only one device is supported by J8.
9.1.2.2. JP6: Jumper for RTC Reset (Clear CMOS Content)
This jumper allows you to clear the data (such as system password, date, time, and system setup parameters) in CMOS.
In order to change a jumper setting, please turn off the computer and unplug the power source to the
board. Otherwise, the board could be damaged.
The board might not start with this jumper in “closed” position.
