Installing PC/104 modules
The CPU card's PC/104 connectors give you the flexibility to attach
PC/104 expansion modules. These modules perform the functions of
traditional plug-in expansion cards, but save space and valuable slots.
Modules include:
• PCM-3335
386 CPU Module w/ Flat Panel/CRT Interface
• PCM-3600
FAX/Modem Module
• PCM-3420
Fast SCSI-2 Module
• PCM-3200
Sound Module
• PCM-3810
Solid State Disk Module
• PCM-3820
High Density Flash Disk Module
• PCM-3115
PCMCIA Module (two slots)
• PCM-3610
Isolated RS-232 and RS-422/485 Module
• PCM-3660
Ethernet Module
• PCM-3718
30 KHz A/D Module
• PCM-3724
48-Channel DIO Module
• PCM-3910
Breadboard Module
Installing these modules on the CPU card is quick and simple. The
following steps show how to mount the PC/104 modules:
1. Remove the CPU card from your system paying particular attention
to the safety instructions already mentioned.
2. Make any jumper or link changes required to the CPU card now.
Once the PC/104 module is mounted you may have difficulty in
accessing these.
3. Normal PC/104 modules have male connectors and mount directly
onto the main card. However, to ensure better bus matching, the
connectors on the CPU card and the PC/104 module are both
female. For this reason, you may need to use the "male-male"
adapter included with the CPU card in order to properly connect
your PC/104 module. (Refer to the diagram on the following page.)
4. Mount the PC/104 module onto the CPU card by pressing the
module firmly but carefully onto the mounting connectors.
5. Secure the PC/104 module onto the CPU card using the four
mounting spacers and srews.
