I n trodu ction  
AAEON’s new compact size board PCM-6896 targets high-end multime-  
dia and networking applications. This board is supported by Intel  
Celeron and Pentium III CPUs, easy Upgrading allows you to take full  
advantage of Intel’s Development of even-higher speed Celeron and  
Pentium III CPUs. This is a perfect choice for embedded applications  
that Require cost-effective high computing power communications  
Products – whether video, voice, or data convergence over  
Internet Protocol network infrastructures.  
The PCM-6896 also adopts the 10/100MB Intel 815E Ethernet controller  
that offers higher network performance and reliability. In addition, the  
PCM-6896 also features power management to minimize power con-  
sumption. It complies with the ACPI standard and supports three types  
of power-saving features: Doze mode, Standby and Suspend modes.  
The board’s watchdog timer automatically resets the system or gener-  
ates an interrupt in case the system stops due to a program bug or EMI.  
The onboard compact flash will offer a larger memory bank for data  
storage of all types. Compact Flash requires a fraction of power used to  
drive floppy disk or CD-ROMs, also no battery is required to save the  
data when the computer powers down.  
The onboard 10/100BaseTx Ethernet interface and Sound Blaster?-  
compatible audio opens up worlds of possibilities for kiosks, gaming  
systems, POS systems, medical and educational products.  
The Fast Ethernet controller provides a tenfold increase in  
Network capability; and is fully compatible with traditional  
10Mbps network facilities.  
PCM-6896 also includes four high-speed serial ports (three RS-232, one  
RS-232/422/485), one multimode (ECP/EPP/SPP) parallel port, 2 floppy  
drives, an Ultra DMA/100, Enhanced IDE controller supporting up to  
two devices with data transfer rate up to 100MB per second, and a

I n s t a lla t io n  
This chapter provides information regarding  
PCM-6896 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.  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
Sa fe t y p re ca u t ion s  
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 electron-  
ics 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.  
Removing the CPU  
The PCM-6896 all-in-one CPU module supports most 486 CPUs.  
The system's performance depends on the CPU you choose. You  
can install or upgrade the CPU in the board's PGA socket by  
following the procedures outlined below. If your system has an  
existing CPU, you need to remove it before installing the new CPU.  
Removing a CPU  
1. Disconnect power from the chassis, and unplug all connections  
to the CPU card. Then, remove the CPU card from the chassis  
by following the instructions in the user's manual for your  
chassis.  
2. Lift the CPU out of the PGA socket. The old chip may be  
difficult to remove. You may find spray chip lubricant, designed  
for pin-grid-array (PGA) devices, and a chip puller helpful.  
These are available at electronics hobbyists' supply stores.  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
I n s t a llin g A CPU  
To install the CPU, follow the instructions that came with it. If no  
documentation was provided, the general procedures for installing  
a CPU are outlined below:  
1. Lubricate the pins on the CPU with lubricant for PGA devices.  
This makes the CPU slide in much easier and greatly reduces  
the chance of damaging the pins and other components.  
2. Carefully align the CPU so that it is parallel to the socket. Make  
sure that the notch on the corner of the CPU matches the notch  
on the inside of the socket.  
3. Gently push the CPU into the socket. There will probably be a  
small gap between the CPU and the socket even when it is fully  
seated. DO NOT USE EXCESSIVE FORCE!  
When you install a new CPU, you may have to adjust other  
settings on the board, such as CPU type, CPU clock, and PCI  
speed, to accommodate it. Make sure that the settings are correct  
for your CPU. Improper settings may damage the CPU.

Se t t in g ju m p e rs  
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.

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 representa-  
tive before you make any changes.  
Generally, you simply need a jumper to make most connections.

I n s t a llin g DRAM ( DI MMs )  
System Mem ory  
PCM-6896 contains one socket for 168-pin dual in-line memory  
module (DIMM). The socket uses 3.3 V unbuffered synchro-  
nous DRAM (SDRAM). DIMM is available in capacities of 16,  
32, 64, 128, 256, or 512 MB.  
Supplementary information about DIMM  
Your PCM-6896 can accept both regular and PC-100/133 SDRAM  
Module(with or without parity).  
Single-sided modules are typically 16 or 128MB; double-sided  
modules are usually 32 or 256 MB.  
Mem ory Installation Procedures  
Installing the SDRAM is simple and may be performed quickly.  
First, line up the card to the bracket. Making sure the teeth on  
the card lines up to the bracket inserts. Hold the card at a 90  
degree angle in your hand, push the card into the bracket. The  
card will click into place, by itself. To remove the card push  
outwards on the two handles on the sides of the bracket. The  
card will eject by itself.

I DE Ha rd Drive Con n e ct ors (CN7 )  
If customers have (Neccessity) to use ATA-100 HDD and  
ATA-33 CABLE you must alter two settings in the Award  
BIOS. The two settings are IDE Primary Master UDMA and  
IDE Primary Slave UDMA. Set these two functions as  
disabled.  
Primary IDE Hard Drive Connector (CN7)  
You can attach up to three Enhanced Integrated Device Electronics  
hard disk drives to the mainboard's internal controller. The main-  
board's IDE controller uses a PCI local-bus interface. This advance  
interface supports faster data transfer and allows the IDE hard  
drive to exceed 528 MB.  
Connecting the hard drive  
Connecting drives, their done in a daisy-chain fashion and requires  
one of the three cables, depending on the drive size. 1.8" and 2.5"  
drives need one 44-pin to two 44-pin flat cable connector. 3.5"  
drives use one 44-pin to two 40-pin connector.  
Wire number 1 on the cable is normally red or blue, and the other  
wires are usually gray.  
1. Connect one end of the cable to CN7. Make sure that the red  
(or blue) wire corresponds to pin 1 on the connector, which is  
marked and connectors are slotted.  
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  
drives. (see your hard drive's documentation for the location of  
the connector).  
Connect a second drive as described above.  
Unlike floppy drives, IDE hard drives can be connected to either  
end of the cable. The pin definitions for this section are listed on  
the next page.

Keyboard and Mouse Connector (CN13)  
The PCM-6896 provides a keyboard connector which supports  
both a keyboard and a PS/2 style mouse. In most cases, especially  
in embedded applications, a keyboard is not 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 mainboard  
BIOS Advanced setup menu allows you to select "Present" or  
"Absent" under the "System Keyboard" section. This allows no-  
keyboard operation in embedded system applications without the  
system halting under POST (power-on-self-test).

Flop p y d rive con n e ct or ( CN1 9 )  
You can attach up to two floppy drives to the mainboard 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.  
A 34-pin daisy chain drive connector cable for (CN19) is required  
for a dual-drive system. On one end of the cable is a 34-pin flat  
cable connector. On the other end are two sets of floppy disk drive  
connectors. Each set consists of a 34-pin flat-cable connector  
(usually used for 3½" drives) and a printed-circuit board connector  
(usually used for 5¼" drives). Wire number 1 on the cable is  
normally red or blue, and the other wires are usually gray.  
Connecting the floppy drive  
1. Plug the 34-pin flat-cable connector into CN19. Make sure that  
the red or blue wire corresponds to pin 1 on the 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:  
drive. The set in the middle connects to the B: drive.  
3. If you are connecting a 5¼" floppy drive, line up the slot in the  
printed circuit board with the blocked-off part of the cable connec-  
tor.  
If you are connecting a 3½" floppy drive, you may have trouble  
determining which pin is pin number 1. Look for a number printed  
on the circuit board indicating pin number 1. Also, the connector  
on the floppy drive connector may have a slot. When the slot is up,  
pin number 1 should be on the right. Check the documentation that  
came with the drive for more information. If you desire, connect the  
B: drive to the connectors in the middle of the cable as described  
above.

Aw a rd BI OS Se t u p  
This chapter describes how to configure  
the BIOS for the PCM-6896 board.  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
St a rt in g s e t u p  
The Award BIOS is started immediately when you first turn on the  
computer. The BIOS reads, system configuration information in  
CMOS RAM and begins the process of checking out the system  
and configuring it through the power-on self test (POST).  
When these preliminaries are finished, the BIOS seeks an operating  
system on one of the data storage devices (hard drive, floppy  
drive, etc.). The BIOS launches and hands controls over to the  
operating system.  
During POST, you can start the Setup program in one of two ways:  
1.By pressing Del immediately after switching the system on.  
2.By pressing Del or pressing Ctrl-Alt-Esc when the following  
message appears briefly at the bottom of the screen during POST:  
TO ENTER SETUP BEFORE BOOT PRESS DEL KEY  
If the message disappears before response and still wishing to  
enter Setup. Restart the system again by turning it OFF then ON or  
press the RESET button on the system case. You may also restart  
by simultaneously pressing Ctr-Alt-Del. If you do not press the  
keys at the correct time and the system does not boot, an error  
message appears and you are again asked to  
PRESS F1 TO CONTINUE, DEL TO ENTER SETUP

Ge t t in g h e lp  
Press F1 to pop up a small help window. On screen information  
describes the appropriate keys to use and the possible selections  
for the highlighted item. To exit the Help Window press Esc or the  
F1 key again.  
I n Ca se of Proble m s  
If, after making and saving system changes with Setup, you  
discover that your computer no longer is able to boot. Award BIOS  
supports an override to the CMOS settings that resets your system  
to its default configuration.  
You can invoke this override by immediately pressing Insert; when  
you restart your computer. You can restart by either using the ON/  
OFF switch, the RESET button or by pressing Ctrl-Alt-Delete.  
The best advice is to alter only settings that you thoroughly  
understand. In particular, do not change settings in the Chipset  
screen without a good reason. The Chipset defaults have been  
carefully chosen by Award Software or your system manufacturer  
for the best performance and reliability. Even a seemingly small  
change to the Chipset setup may cause the system to become  
unstable.

Sta nda rd CMOS Fea tures  
This standard setup menu allows users to configure system  
components such as the date, time, hard disk drive, floppy drive,  
display, and memory. Online help for each field can be accessed by  
pressing F1.  
Date and Time Configuration  
The BIOS determines the day of the week from the other date  
information. This field is for information only.  
Press the left or right arrow key to move to the desired field (date,  
month, year). Press the PgUp/- or PgDn/+ key to increment the  
setting, or type the desired value into the field.  
The time format is based on the 24-hour military-time clock. For  
example, 1 p.m. is 13:00:00 hours. Press the left or right arrow key to  
move to the desired field. Press the PgUp/- or PgDn/+ key to  
increment the setting, or type the desired value into the field.  
HARD DISKS  
The BIOS supports up to four IDE drives. This section does not  
show information about other IDE devices, such as a CD-ROM  
drive, or about other hard drive types, such as SCSI drives.  
NOTE: We recommend that you select type AUTO for all drives.  
The BIOS can automatically detect the specifications and optimal  
operating mode of almost all IDE hard drives. When you select  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
type AUTO for a hard drive, the BIOS detects its specifications  
If you do not want to select drive type AUTO, other methods of  
selecting the drive type are available:  
1.Match the specifications of your installed IDE hard drive(s) with  
the preprogrammed values for drive types 1 through 45.  
2.Select USER and enter values into each drive parameter field.  
3.Use the IDE HDD AUTO DECTECTION function in Setup.  
Here is a brief explanation of drive specifications:  
Type: The BIOS contains a table of pre-defined drive types. Each  
defined drive type has a specified number of cylinders,  
number of heads, write precompensation factor, landing  
zone, and number of sectors. Drives whose specifications  
do not accommodate any pre-defined type are classified as  
type USER.  
Size: Disk drive capacity (approximate). Note that this size is  
usually slightly greater than the size of a formatted disk  
given by a disk-checking program.  
Cyls: Number of cylinders  
Head: Number of heads  
Precomp: Write precompensation cylinder  
Landz: Landing zone  
Sector: Number of sectors  
Mode: Auto, Normal, Large, or LBA  
- Auto: The BIOS automatically determines the optimal mode.  
- Normal: Maximum number of cylinders, heads, and sectors  
supported are 1024, 16, and 63.  
- Large: For drives that do not support LBA and have more  
than 1024 cylinders.  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
- LBA (Logical Block Addressing): During drive access, the  
IDE controller transforms the data address described by  
sector, head, and cylinder number into a physical block  
address, significantly improving data transfer rates. For  
drives with greater than 1024 cylinders.

Halt On  
During the power-on-self-test (POST), the computer stops if the  
BIOS detects a hardware error. You can tell the BIOS to ignore  
certain errors during POST and continue the boot-up process.  
These are the selections:  
No errors: POST does not stop for any errors.  
All errors If: the BIOS detects any non-fatal error, POST  
stops and prompts you to take corrective action.  
All, But Keyboard: POST does not stop for a keyboard  
error, but stops for all other errors  
All, But Diskette: POST does not stop for diskette drive  
errors, but stops for all other errors.  
All, But Disk/Key: POST does not stop for a keyboard or  
disk error, but stops for all other errors.  
Memory  
You cannot change any values in the Memory fields; they are only  
for your information. The fields show the total installed random  
access memory (RAM) and amounts allocated to base memory,  
extended memory, and other (high) memory. RAM is counted in  
kilobytes (KB: approximately one thousand bytes) and megabytes  
(MB: approximately one million bytes).  
RAM is the computer's working memory, where the computer  
stores programs and data currently being used, so they are  
accessible to the CPU. Modern personal computers may contain up  
to 64 MB, 128 MB, or more.  
Base Memory  
Typically 640 KB. Also called conventional memory. The DOS  
operating system and conventional applications use this area.  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
Extended Memory  
Above the 1-MB boundary. Early IBM personal computers could  
not use memory above 1 MB, but current PCs and their software  
can use extended memory.  
Other Memory  
Between 640 KB and 1 MB; often called High memory. DOS may  
load, terminate-and-stay-resident (TSR) programs, such as device  
drivers, in this area, to free as much conventional memory as  
possible for applications. Lines in your CONFIG.SYS file that start  
with LOADHIGH, load programs into high memory.

Adva nced BIOS Fea tures  
The displayed configuration is based on the manufacturer's SETUP  
DEFAULTS settings.  
Virus Warning  
When enabled, you receive a warning message if a program  
(specifically, a virus) attempts to write to the boot sector or the  
partition table of the hard disk drive. You should then run an anti-  
virus program. Keep in mind that this feature protects only the boot  
sector, not the entire hard drive.  
NOTE: Many disk diagnostic programs that access the boot  
sector table can trigger the virus warning message. If you plan to  
run such a program, we recommend that you first disable the virus  
warning.

CPU Internal Cache/External Cache  
Cache memory is additional memory that is much faster than  
conventional DRAM (system memory). CPUs from 486-type on up  
contain internal cache memory, and most, but not all, modern PCs  
have additional (external) cache memory. When the CPU requests  
data, the system transfers the requested data from the main DRAM  
into cache memory, for even faster access by the CPU.  
The External Cache field may not appear if your system does not  
have external cache memory.  
CPU L2 Cache ECC Checking  
When you select Enabled, memory checking is enable when the  
external cache contains ECC SRAMs.  
Quick Power On Self Test  
Select Enabled to reduce the amount of time required to run the  
power-on-self-test (POST). A quick POST skips certain steps. We  
recommend that you normally disable quick POST. Better to find a  
problem during POST than lose data during your work.  
First/Second/Third/Fourth Boot Device  
The BIOS attempts to load the operating system from the devices  
in the sequence selected in these items.  
The choices: Floppy, LS/ZIP, HDD, SCSI, CDROM, Disable.  
Boot Up from LAN  
When enabled, the BIOS attempts to boot from a LAN boot image  
before it attempts to boot from a local storage device.  
The Choice: Disabled, Enabled  
First/Second/Third/Fourth Boot Device  
The BIOS attempts to load the operating system from the devices  
in the sequence selected in these items. The settings are Floppy,  
LS/ZIP, HDD-0/HDD-1/HDD-2/HDD-3/, SCSI, CDROM, LAN and  
disable.  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
Swap Floppy Drive  
This field is effective only in systems with two floppy drives.  
Selecting enabled assigns physical drive B to logical drive A, and  
physical drive A to logical drive B.  
Boot Up Floppy Seek  
When Enabled, the BIOS tests (seeks) floppy drives to determine  
whether they have 40 or 80 tracks. Only 360-KB floppy drives have  
40 tracks; drives with 720 KB, 1.2 MB, and 1.44 MB capacity all  
have 80 tracks. Because very few modern PCs have 40-track floppy  
drives, we recommend that you set this field to Disabled to save  
time.  
Boot Up NumLock Status  
Toggle between On or Off to control the state of the NumLock key  
when the system boots. When toggled On, the numeric keypad  
generates numbers instead of controlling cursor operations.  
Boot Up System Speed  
Select High to boot at the default CPU speed; select Low to boot at  
the speed of the AT bus. Some add-in peripherals or old software  
(such as old games) may require a slow CPU speed. The default  
setting is High.  
Gate A20 Option  
Gate A20 refers to the way the system addresses memory above 1  
MB (extended memory). When set to Fast, the system chipset  
controls Gate A20. When set to Normal, a pin in the keyboard  
controller controls Gate A20. Setting Gate A20 to Fast improves  
system speed, particularly with OS/2 and Windows.

Onboard Serial Ports (1, 2,3,4)  
Normally, the main board’s I/O chips will occupy a certain portion  
of memory space. For each I/O device the computer provides an  
I/O address. The more devices attached the more address needed  
to organize the memory storage areas. If all the I/O devices were  
run through the same address, your devices would come to a near  
halt. By providing the end user with four serial ports this allows  
devices to run more efficiently if needed. Also the corresponding  
interrupt needs to be selected.  
Selections of logical COM port addresses are as follows. ( 3F8/  
IRQ4, 3E8/IRQ4, 2F8/IRQ3, 2E8/IRQ3)
