1.1 Introduction
Advantech's PPC-A84 is a new generation 8.4" LCD panel PC with
NS GXm CPU. It is specially designed for HMI applications, such as
factory, machinery automation, transportation, and health care. The
PPC-A84 is designed with advanced breakthrough concepts. It is a
modularized PC within aluminum die-cast housing. When installed in
an open space, no fan is required. These powerful features assist
system integration, allowing more flexibility in applications.
Die-cast housing
The completely sealed housing protects the system in tough, harsh
environments. The die-cast housing also acts as a heat sink, to prevent
the system from overheating. The front panel is compliant with IP65
standard.
No ventilation hole
With a heat pipe for ventilation, the system’s MTBF has been extend-
ed. With no ventilation holes, the enclosure is completely sealed,
thereby protecting the system from dust
Modularized accessories
The power supply, HDD drive and PCMCIA module are easily
removable for maintenance or exchange. The modularized design
allows easier and quicker replacement of accessories.

2.6 Running the BIOS Setup Program
Your panel PC is likely to have been properly set up and configured by your
dealer prior to delivery. You may still find it necessary to use the panel PC's
BIOS (Basic Input-Output System) setup program to change system configu-
ration information, such as the current date and time or your type of hard
drive. The setup program is stored in read-only memory (ROM). It can be
accessed either when you turn on or reset the panel PC, by pressing the "Del"
key on your keyboard immediately after powering on the computer.
The settings you specify with the setup program are recorded in a special
area of memory called CMOS RAM. This memory is backed up by a battery
so that it will not be erased when you turn off or reset the system. Whenever
you turn on the power, the system reads the settings stored in CMOS RAM
and compares them to the equipment check conducted during the power on
self-test (POST). If an error occurs, an error message will be displayed on
screen, and you will be prompted to run the setup program.
If you want to change the setup of BIOS, refer to Chapter 8 for more detailed
information.
2.7 Installing System Software
Recent releases of operating systems from major vendors include setup
programs which load automatically and guide you through hard disk prepara-
tion and operating system installation. The guidelines below will help you
determine the steps necessary to install your operating system on the panel
PC hard drive.
Note:
Some distributors and system integrators may have already
pre-installed system software prior to shipment of your
panel PC.
If required, insert your operating system's installation or setup diskette into
the diskette drive until the release button pops out.
30
PPC-A84 User's Manual

the CD-ROM drive. Refer to Chapter 8 - BIOS Setup if you wish to change
the BIOS settings.
Power on your panel PC or reset the system by pressing the
"Ctrl"+"Alt"+"Del" keys simultaneously. The panel PC will automatically
load the operating system from the diskette or CD-ROM.
If you are presented with the opening screen of a setup or installation
program, follow the instructions on screen. The setup program will guide you
through preparation of your hard drive, and installation of the operating
system.
If you are presented with an operating system command prompt, such as
A:\>, then you must partition and format your hard drive, and manually copy
the operating system files to it. Refer to your operating system user's manual
for instructions on partitioning and formatting a hard drive.
2.8 Installing the Drivers
After installing your system software, you will be able to set up the Ethernet,
SVGA, audio, and touchscreen functions. All the drivers are stored in a CD-
ROM disc entitled "Drivers and Utilities" which can be found in your
accessory box.
The standard procedures for installing the Ethernet, SVGA, audio, and
touchscreen drivers are described in Chapters 4, 5, 6 and 7 respectively.
The various drivers and utilities in the CD-ROM disc have their own text
files which help users install the drivers and understand their functions.
These files are a very useful supplement to the information in this manual.

3.1 Introduction
The PCM-5821 is a highly reliable single board computer based on the NS
GXm 233MHz CPU. It offers built-in functionality comparable to a com-
plete industrial PC system, including a VGA/LCD controller, network
communications, compact flash diak in a small 8" x 5.75" form factor.
For maximum performance, the PCM-5821 also supports an SDRAM
SODIMM socket that can accept up to 128 MB memory. On-board features
include an Ethernet interface, audio interface, socket for Compact Flash
Card, Enhanced IDE interface with up to Ultra DMA transfer protocol, one
parallel port, two serial ports (RS-232 and RS-232/422/485) with DB-9
connector as COM1, and a mini-DIN PS/2 keyboard/mouse interface. An
SVGA/LCD display controller (LCD, and CRT displays) allows LCD screen
resolutions up to 1024 x 768 and CRT resolutions up to 1280 x 1024 @ 16 M
colors.
The PCM-5821 complies with the "Green Function" standard and supports
three types of power saving features: Normal, Doze, and Sleep modes.
The display type configuration is done through software. A single Flash chip
holds the system BIOS and the VGA BIOS. This minimizes the number of
chips and eases configuration. You can change the display BIOS simply by
programming the Flash chip.
It also offers faster data access and longer MTBF than mechanical disk drives
and is an ideal solution for critical commercial or industrial applications.
The watchdog timer ensures the system will be reset if it stops due to a
program bug or EMI problem.

3.3 Jumpers and Connectors
3.3.1 Setting jumpers
You can configure your panel PC to match the needs of your application
by setting jumpers. A jumper is the simplest kind of electrical 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 pins 2 and 3.

5.1 Introduction
The PPC-A84 has an on-board PCI flat panel/VGA interface. The specifica-
tions and features are described as follows:
5.1.1 Chipset
The PPC-A84 Series uses a NS CX5530 chipset for its SVGA controller. It
supports many popular 18-bit LCD displays and conventional analog CRT
monitors. The VGA BIOS supports LCD. In addition, it also supports
interlaced and non-interlaced analog monitors (color and monochrome VGA)
in high-resolution modes while maintaining complete IBM VGA compatibili-
ty. 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
With 2 ~ 4 MB share memory, the VGA controller can drive CRT displays or
color panel displays with resolutions up to 1024 x 768 at 64 K colors. The
display memory can be expanded to 4 MB in BIOS for true-color resolution
of 1024 x 768.
5.1.3 Display types
CRT and panel displays can be used simultaneously. The PPC-A84 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 display mode.
5.2 Installation of SVGA Driver

Award BIOS Setup
This chapter describes how to set BIOS
configuration data.
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.
8.1 Award BIOS Setup
The PPC-A84 comes with an Award BIOS chip that contains the ROM setup
for your system. This chip serves as an interface between the processor and
the rest of the mainboard's components. This chapter explains the informa-
tion contained in the setup program and tells you how to modify the settings
according to your system configuration. Some setup items will not be
explained, because it is recommended that users do not change such items.
Note:
Values for the various setup items that appear on your own
screen (including default values) may not be the same as
the values shown on the screen figures in this chapter.This
is because the BIOS is revised and updated from time to
time. If in doubt, check Advantech's web site for the latest
BIOS versions and related information.

A setup program, built into the system BIOS, is stored in the CMOS RAM
that allows the configuration settings to be changed. This program is execut-
ed when the user changes the system configuration; when the user changes
the system backup battery; or when the system detects a
configuration error and asks the user to run the setup program. At power-on
RAM testing, the message "Press DEL to enter Setup" appears. After
pressing the "DEL" key, the CMOS setup utility screen will appear as shown
in Fig. 8-1. Use the arrow keys to select and press "Enter" to run the selected
program.
8.3 Standard CMOS Setup
Figure 8-2: CMOS setup screen
The standard CMOS setup screen is shown above. System BIOS
automatically detects memory size, so no changes are necessary. It has a few
items requiring setting. Each item may have one or more optional settings.
System BIOS allows you to change the system date and time, IDE hard disk,
floppy disk drive types for drives A: and B:, boot-up video display mode,
and POST error handling selection. Use the arrow keys to highlight the item
and then use the "PgUp" or "PgDn" keys to select the value you want for
each item.

IDE HDD Block Mode
This allows your hard disk controller to use the fast block mode to transfer
data to and from your hard disk drive (HDD).
The options are: Enabled (Default), Disabled.
IDE Primary/Secondary Master/Slave PIO
IDE hard disk drive controllers can support up to separate hard drives.
These drives have a master/slave relationship which is determined by the
cabling configuration used to attach them to the controller. Your system
supports two IDE controllers - a primary and a secondary - so you have the
ability to install up to four separate hard disks.
PIO means Programmed Input/Output. Rather than having the BIOS issue a
series of commands to effect a transfer to or from the disk drive, PIO allows
the BIOS to tell the controller what it wants and then let the controller and
the CPU perform the task by themselves.
Your system supports five modes, numbered from 0 through 4, which differ
primarily in timing. When "Auto" is selected, the BIOS will choose the best
available mode.
The options are: Auto, (Default), Disabled.
Primary/Secondary Master/Slave Ultra DMA
DMA means Direct Memory Access. Ultra DMA is faster than DMA. DMA
is a method of transferring data to or from memory at a fast rate, without
involving the CPU.
When you select "Auto", the BIOS will choose the best available mode.
The options are: Auto (Default), Disabled.

Programming the
Watchdog Timer
The PPC-A84 is equipped with a watch-
dog 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 environments.
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.
A.1 Programming the Watchdog Timer
To program the watchdog timer, you must write a program which
writes I/O port address 443 (hex). The output data is a time interval
value. The value range is from 01 (hex) to 3E (hex), and the related
time interval is from 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).
