2.5 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.

closed  
closed 2-3  
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 representative before  
you make any changes.  
Generally, you simply need a standard cable to make most connections.

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.”  
This jumper is used to erase CMOS data and reset system BIOS informa-  
tion.  
The procedure for clearing CMOS is:  
1.  
2.  
3.  
4.  
Turn off the system.  
Short pin 2 and pin 3.

Chapter 2 Installation  
 
2.7 Installing system memory (SODIMMs)  
You can install anywhere from 32 to 512 MB of SDRAM into your PCI-6871 Se-  
ries card. The card provides two 144-pin SODIMM sockets. Each socket ac-  
cepts 32/64/128/256/512 MB 3.3 V power level SODIMMs. If only one SODIMM  
module is installed, it may be installed in either SODIMM socket on the solder  
side of the PCI-6871 Series card.  
Note:  
PCI-6871 Series cards only support SDRAM SODIMM  
modules. EDO SODIMM is not supported.  
2.7.1 Installing SODIMMs  
Note:  
The modules can only fit into a socket one way. The gold  
pins must point down into the SODIMM socket.  
The procedure for installing SODIMMs appears below. Please follow these  
steps carefully.  
1.  
2.  
Make sure that all power supplies to the system are switched off.  
Install the SODIMM card. Install the SODIMM so that its gold pins  
point down into the SODIMM socket.  
3.  
4.  
5.  
Slip the SODIMM into the socket at a 45 degree angle and care-  
fully fit the bottom of the card against the connectors.  
Gently push the SODIMM into a perpendicular position until the  
clips on the ends of the SODIMM sockets snap into place.  
Check to ensure that the SODIMM is correctly seated and all con-  
nector contacts touch. The SODIMM should not move around in its  
socket.  
PCI-6871 User’s Manual  
14  
   
Important: Only use standard form SODIMM memory modules (as  
shown in the diagram below). Standardized dimensions  
ensure a proper fit. Check with your memory supplier  
about the SODIMM modules you will use.  
Figure 2.3: SODIMM module  
2.8 IDE, CDROM hard drive connector (CN1, CN7)  
The PCI-6871 provides 2 IDE channels which you can attach up to four  
Enhanced Integrated Device Electronics hard disk drives or CDROM to  
the PCI-6871’s internal controller. The PCI-6871's IDE controller uses a  
PCI interface. This advanced IDE controller supports faster data transfer,  
PID mode 3, mode 4 and UDMA/100. The secondary channel supports  
UDMA/33 only.  
15  
Chapter 2 Installation  
 
2.8.1 Connecting the hard drive  
Connecting drives is done in a daisy-chain fashion. It requires one of two  
cables (not included in this package), depending on the drive size. 1.8"  
and 2.5" drives need a 1 x 44-pin to 2 x 44-pin flat-cable connector. 3.5"  
drives use a 1 x 44-pin to 2 x 40-pin connector.  
Wire number 1 on the cable is red or blue, and the other wires are gray.  
1.  
Connect one end of the cable to CN1 or CN7. Make sure that the  
red (or blue) wire corresponds to pin 1 on the connector, which is  
labeled on the board (on the right side).  
2.  
Plug the other end of the cable into the Enhanced IDE hard drive,  
with pin 1 on the cable corresponding to pin 1 on the hard drive.  
(See your hard drive’s documentation for the location of the con-  
nector.)  
If desired, connect a second drive as described above.  
Unlike floppy drives, IDE hard drives can connect to either end of the  
cable. If you install two drives, you will need to set one as the master and  
one as the slave by using jumpers on the drives. If you install only one  
drive, set it as the master.  
2.9 Solid State Disk  
The PCI-6871 provides a 50-pin socket for CompactFlash card type I/II.  
2.9.1 CompactFlash (CN28)  
The CompactFlash card shares a secondary IDE channel which can be  
enabled/disabled via the BIOS settings.  
2.10 Floppy drive connector (CN6)  
You can attach up to two floppy drives to the PCI-6871’s on-board con-  
troller. You can use any combination of 5.25” (360 KB and 1.2 MB) and/  
or 3.5” (720 KB, 1.44 MB, and 2.88 MB) drives.  
A 34-pin daisy-chain drive connector cable 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 3.5” drives) and a  
printed-circuit board connector (usually used for 5.25” drives).  
PCI-6871 User’s Manual  
16  
       
2.10.1 Connecting the floppy drive  
1.  
Plug the 34-pin flat-cable connector into CN6. Make sure that the  
red wire corresponds to pin one 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 5.25” 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 3.5” floppy drive, you may have trouble determin-  
ing which pin is number one. Look for a number printed on the circuit  
board indicating pin number one. In addition, the connector on the floppy  
drive may have a slot. When the slot is up, pin number one 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.  
In case you need to make your own cable, you can find the pin assign-  
ments for the board’s connector in Appendix C.  
2.11 Parallel port connector (CN2)  
Normally, the parallel port is used to connect the card to a printer. The  
PCI-6871 includes a multi-mode (ECP/EPP/SPP) parallel port accessed  
via CN2 and 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.  
2.12 Keyboard and PS/2 mouse connector (CN25)  
The PCI-6871 board provides a keyboard connector that supports both a  
keyboard and a PS/2 style mouse. In most cases, especially in embedded  
applications, a keyboard is not used. If the keyboard is not present, the  
17  
Chapter 2 Installation  
     
standard PC/AT BIOS will report an error or fail during power-on self-  
test (POST) after a reset. The PCI-6871’s 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.  
2.13 Power & HDD LED, Reset Button Connector  
(CN13, CN8)  
Next, you may want to install external switches to monitor and control the  
PCI-6871. These features are optional: install them only if you need  
them. The front panel connector (CN13) is an 8-pin male, dual in-line  
header. It provides connections for a speaker, hard disk access indicator,  
watchdog output, and an input switch for resetting the card.  
2.13.1 Power & HDD LED (CN13)  
The HDD LED indicator for hard disk access is an active low signal (24  
mA sink rate). Power supply activity LED indicator.  
2.13.2 Reset switch (CN8)  
If you install a reset switch, it should be an open single pole switch.  
Momentarily pressing the switch will activate a reset. The switch should  
be rated for 10 mA, 5 V.  
2.14 Power connectors (CN11, FAN1)  
2.14.1 Main power connector, +5 V, +12 V (CN11)  
Supplies main power to the PCI-6871 (+5 V), and to devices that require  
+12 V.  
2.14.2 CPU Fan power supply connector (FAN1)  
Provides power supply to CPU cooling fan. Only present when +5 V and  
+12 V power is supplied to the board.

2.19.1 CRT display connector (CN12)  
CN12 is a standard 15-pin D-SUB connector commonly used for VGA.  
The pin assignments for CRT display connector CN12 are detailed in  
Appendix C.  
2.19.2 Flat panel display connector (CN18)  
CN18 consists of a 40-pin connector which can support a 24-bit LCD  
panel. It is Hirose’s product no. DF13A-40DP-1.25 V  
The PCI-6871 provides a bias control signal on CN18 that can be used to  
control the LCD bias voltage. It is recommended that the LCD bias volt-  
age not be applied to the panel until the logic supply voltage (+5 V or  
+3.3 V) and panel video signals are stable. Under normal operation, the  
control signal (ENAVEE) is active high. When the PCI-6871’s power is  
applied, the control signal is low until just after the relevant flat panel sig-  
nals are present. CN18 can connect up to 24 bit TFT LCD.  
2.19.3 Extension flat panel connector (CN17)  
CN17 consists of a 20-pin connector which is Hirose’s product no.  
DF13A-20DP-1.25V. The PCI-6871 supports a 36-bit LCD panel which  
must be connected to both the CN18 (40-pin) and the CN17 (20-pin). The  
pin assignments for both CN18and the CN17 can be found in Appendix C  
2.19.4 LVDS LCD panel connector (CN21)  
The PCI-6871 uses the VIA TwisterT chip that supports 2 channel (2 x

Award BIOS Setup  
This chapter describes how to set BIOS  
configuration data.  
 
Chapter 4 Award BIOS Setup  
4.1 System test and initialization  
These routines test and initialize board hardware. If the routines encoun-  
ter an error during the tests, you will either hear a few short beeps or see  
an error message on the screen. There are two kinds of errors: fatal and  
non-fatal. The system can usually continue the boot up sequence with  
non-fatal errors. Non-fatal error messages usually appear on the screen  
along with the following instructions:  
press <F1> to RESUME  
Write down the message and press the F1 key to continue the bootup  
sequence.  
4.1.1 System configuration verification  
These routines check the current system configuration against the values  
stored in the board’s CMOS memory. If they do not match, the program  
outputs an error message. You will then need to run the BIOS setup pro-  
gram to set the configuration information in memory.  
There are three situations in which you will need to change the CMOS  
settings:  
1.  
2.  
3.  
You are starting your system for the first time  
You have changed the hardware attached to your system  
The CMOS memory has lost power and the configuration informa-  
tion has been erased.  
The PCI-6871 Series' CMOS memory has an integral lithium battery  
backup. The battery backup should last ten years in normal service, but  
when it finally runs down, you will need to replace the complete unit.

5.1 Introduction  
The PCI-6871 has an onboard AGP flat panel/VGA interface. The speci-  
fications and features are described as follows:  
5.1.1 Chipset  
The PCI-6871 uses a VIA TwisterT chipset from VIA Technology Inc.  
for its AGP/SVGA controller. It supports many popular LCD, and LVDS  
LCD displays and conventional analog CRT monitors. The VIA8606T  
VGA BIOS supports color TFT and DSTN LCD flat panel displays. In  
addition, it also supports interlaced and non-interlaced analog monitors  
(color and monochrome VGA) in high-resolution modes while  
maintaining complete IBM VGA compatibility. Digital monitors  
(i.e. MDA, CGA, and EGA) are NOT supported. Multiple frequency  
(multisync) monitors are handled as if they were analog monitors.  
5.1.2 Display memory  
The TwisterT chip can support 8/16/32MB frame buffer shared with sys-  
tem memory; the VGA controller can drive CRT displays or color panel  
displays with resolutions up to 1280 x 1024 at 16 M colors.  
5.1.3 Display types  
CRT and panel displays can be used simultaneously. The PCI-6871 can  
be set in one of three configurations: on a CRT, on a flat panel display, or  
on both simultaneously. The system is initially set to simultaneous dis-  
play mode. If you want to enable the CRT display only or the flat panel  
display only, please contact VIA Technology Inc., or our sales representa-  
tive for detailed information.

Programming the  
Watchdog Timer  
The PCI-6871 is equipped with  
a watchdog timer that resets the CPU or  
generates an interrupt if processing comes  
to a standstill for any reason. This  
feature ensures system reliability in  
industrial standalone or unmanned envi-  
ronments.  
 
Appendix A Programming the Watchdog  
Timer  
A.1 Supported Input Timing Modes  
In order to program the watchdog timer, you must write a program which  
writes I/O port address 443 (hex). The output data is a value of time inter-  
val. The value range is from 01 (hex) to 3E (hex), and the related time  
interval is 1 sec. to 62 sec.

.

After data entry, your program must refresh the watchdog timer by  
rewriting the I/O port 443 (hex) while simultaneously setting it.  
When you want to disable the watchdog timer, your program  
should read I/O port 443 (hex).
