CHAPTER
Introduction
The PCM-5894/5892 is a Pentium single board computer with
one onboard PCI SVGA controller, one PCI Ethernet interface
and one PCI expansion slot. Equipped with a 64-bits local bus
architecture, the PCM-5894/5892 releases Pentium's full
potential and provides unprecedented performance compared to
current 32-bit processor boards. The PCM-5894/5892 offers all
the functions of an industrial computer on a single board, but fits
in the space of a 5¼" floppy drive (only 5.75" x 8"). For maximum
performance, the PCM-5894/5892 also supports a 512 KB. L2
cache onboard. An SSD interface supports one 32-pin DIP socket
for the M-Systems DiskOnChip 2000 series, memory capacity
from 2MB to 72MB.
Onboard features include four serial ports (three RS-232 and one
RS-232/422/485), one multi-mode parallel (ECP/EPP/SPP) port, one
floppy drive controller and one keyboard/PS-2 mouse interface.
The built-in high speed PCI IDE controller supports both PIO and
bus master modes. Up to two IDE devices can be connected,
including large hard disks, CD-ROM drives, tape backup drives,
and other IDE devices.
The PCM-5894/5892 also features power management to minimize
power consumption. It complies with the “Green Function”
standard and supports three types of power saving features: Doze
mode, Standby mode, and Suspend mode. In addition, the board’s
watchdog timer can automatically reset the system or generate an
interrupt in case the system stops due to a program bug or EMI.
Onboard peripherals with true PCI
performance
The PCM-5894/5892 is a highly integrated, all-in-one single board
computer. All onboard peripherals (including PCI flat panel/VGA
interface, PCI Ethernet, and PCI IDE) adopt PCI technology and
operate through an internal PCI bus. Integrating a Pentium board
with a PCI architecture has unleashed a revolutionary level of
performance. The PCM-5894/5892 is one of the smallest and
most powerful all-in-one Pentium boards available.

Setting jumpers
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 represen-
tative before you make any changes.
14 PCM-5894/5892 User Manual
CPU installing and upgrading
You can upgrade to a more powerful Pentium CPU or compatible at
any time. Simply remove the old CPU, install the new one, and set
the jumpers for the new CPU type and speed.
Warning! Always disconnect the power cord from your
chassis when you are working on it. Do not
make connections while the power is on as
sensitive electronic components can be dam-
aged by the sudden rush of power. Only experi-
enced electronics personnel should open the PC
chassis.
Caution! Always ground yourself to remove any static
charge before touching the PC board. 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.
When you install a new CPU, be sure to adjust the board settings,
such as CPU type and CPU clock. Improper settings may damage
the CPU.
Chapter 2 Installation 15
Installing DRAM (SIMMs)
The PCM-5894/5892 provides two 72-pin SIMM (Single In-line
Memory Module) sockets. The SIMM supports either Fast Page
Mode (FPM) or Extended Data Output (EDO) DRAM with a
speed of at least 70 ns. Depending on the combinations of the
modules you use, you can install from 4 MB to 128 MB of RAM.
Installing SIMMs
NOTE 1: Pentium or compatible processors adopt 64 bit data
bus. Since 72-pin SIMM can only provide 32 bit data
bus width, two SIMM modules are required as one
memory bank, and both SIMMs must be the same size
and type.
1. Ensure that all power sources are disconnected.
2. Slip the memory module into the socket at a 45 degree angle.
3. Push the module toward the vertical posts at both ends of the
socket until the module is upright and the retaining clips at
both ends of the module click into place. When positioned
correctly, the pins on top of the vertical posts should corre-
spond to the circular holes on the ends of the module.
4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 for each module you install.
NOTE 2: Do not insert any SIMM module that contains more
than 24 memory chips. SIMMs contain more than 24
chips exceed the driving capability of new generation
chipsets.

IDE hard drive connector (CN11)
You can attach one or two Enhanced Integrated Device Electron-
ics hard disk drives to the mainboard's internal controller. The
mainboard's IDE controller uses a PCI local-bus interface. This
advanced interface supports faster data transfer and allows the IDE
hard drive to exceed 528 MB.
Connecting the hard drive
Connecting drives is done in a daisy-chain fashion and requires
one of two cables, 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 connect.
Wire number 1 on the cable is red or blue, and the other wires are
gray.
1. Connect one end of the cable to CN11. 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 to the Enhanced IDE hard
drive, with pin 1on 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 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 just one drive, set it as the master.

Floppy drive connector (CN16)
You can attach up to two floppy disks 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 is required for a dual-
drive system. On 1 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).
Connecting the floppy drive
1. Plug the 34-pin flat-cable connector into CN16. Make sure that
the red 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
connector.
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.

CPU Internal Cache/External Cache
These two categories, if enabled, can speed up memory access.
However, it depends on the CPU/chipset design.
Quick Power On Self Test
This category speeds up Power On Self Test (POST) after you
power up the computer. If it is set to Enabled, BIOS will shorten or
skip some check items during POST.
Boot Sequence
This category determines which drive to search first for the
operating system.
Swap Floppy Drive
This item allows you to swap the floppy drive assignments so that
drive A is treated as drive B and drive B is treated as drive A under
DOS. The default setting is Disabled.
Boot Up Floppy Seek
During POST, the BIOS will determine if the floppy disk drive
installed is 40 or 80 tracks. 360KB type is 40 tracks while 760KB,
1.2MB, and 1.44MB are all 80 tracks.
Boot Up NumLock Status
This allows you to determine the default state of the numeric
keypad on an IBM-compatible extended keyboard.
Boot Up System Speed
This allows you to determine the Boot Up Speed. The choices are
High/Low.
Chapter 3 Award BIOS Setup 55
Gate A20 Option
This entry allows you to select how gate A20 is handled. Gate A20
is a device used to address memory above 1 MB. Initially, gate A20
was handled via a pin on the keyboard. Today keyboards still
provide this support, however it is more common and much faster
for the system chipset to provide support for gate A20. The
choices are thus: Normal and Fast.
Security Option
This category allows you to limit access to the system. The
choices are System: which requires a password at boot up and
Setup: which only requires a password to access the setup utility.
Video BIOS Shadow
Determines whether the video display card BIOS will be copied into
system DRAM in order to increase display speed and is required
for system performance. However, it is optional depending on the
chipset design. The default setting is Enabled.
Shadowing Address Ranges
The next six lines, from C8000-CBFFF Shadow to DC000-DFFFF
Shadow are address ranges for shadowing other expansion card
ROMs. If there are any expansion cards with ROMs installed in
your system, you have to know the address range they use in order
to shadow them specifically. The default setting for all of these is
Disabled.

AT clock, DRAM timings ....
This section allows you to configure the system based on the
specific features of the installed chipset. This chipset manages bus
speeds and access to system memory resources, such as DRAM
and the external cache. It also coordinates communications
between the conventional ISA bus and the PCI bus. It must be
stated that these items should never need to be altered. The
default settings have been chosen because they provide the best
operating conditions for your system. The only time you might
consider making any changes would be if you discovered that data
was being lost while using your system.
Because of the complexity and technical nature of some of the
options, not all of the options are described here.

Auto Configuration
Set this item to Enabled to pre-defined values for DRAM, cache
timing according to CPU type & system clock. Thus, each item
value may display differently depending on your system configura-
tions.
When this item is enabled, the pre-defined items will become
SHOW-ONLY .
58 PCM-5894/5892 User Manual
NA# Enable
This item allows you to select between two methods of chipset
NA# asserted during CPU write cycle/CPU line fills, Enabled and
Disabled.
RAS Precharge Time
DRAM must continually be refreshed or it will lose its data.
Normally, DRAM is refreshed entirely as the result of a single
request. This option allows you to determine the number of CPU
clocks allocated for the Row Address Strobe to accumulate its
charge before the DRAM is refreshed. If insufficient time is
allowed, refresh may be incomplete and data lost.
RAS to CAS Delay
When DRAM is refreshed, both rows and columns are addressed
separately. This setup item allows you to determine the timing of
the transition from Row Address Strobe (RAS) to Column Address
Strobe (CAS).
CPU to PCI Post Write
Set this option to Enabled to give priority to posted messages from
the CPU to PCI bus.
CPU to PCI Burst Men_WR
Set this option to Enabled to allow write instructions to be com-
bined in PCI burst mode. The settings are Enabled or Disabled.
ISA Bus Clock Frequency
This item allows you to select the ISA bus clock PCICLK/3 OR
PCICLK/4.
System BIOS Cacheable
When enabled, accesses to the system BIOS ROM addressed at
F0000H-FFFFFH are cached, provided that the cache controller is
enabled.
Chapter 3 Award BIOS Setup 59
Video BIOS Cacheable
As with caching the System BIOS above, enabling the Video BIOS
cache will cause access to video BIOS addressed at C0000H to
C7FFFH to be cached, if the cache controller is also enabled.
Memory Hole at 15M-16M
In order to improve performance, certain space in memory can be
reserved for ISA cards. The memory must be mapped into the
memory space below 16 MB.
Boot ROM Function
This item allows you to set the Enabled or Disabled Ethernet Boot
ROM function.

Power Management
Power management lets you set up your computer to save electrici-
ty when it is not actively in use by putting the system into progres-
sively greater power saving modes. In the power management
scheme there are four system states which proceed in the following
sequence:
Normal � Doze � Standby � Suspend
62 PCM-5894/5892 User Manual
There are four selections for Power Management (PM):
Disabled Turns off PM
Max Saving Maximized power saving by activating maxi-
mum power saving settings after one minute of
system inactivity.
Min Saving Produces less power saving by activating
moderate power saving settings after one hour
of system inactivity.
User Defined You set the power saving options manually.
With the exception of Disabled, three of the above selections have
"fixed-mode" settings. Therefore, when PM is set to Disabled,
some items which are predefined will become unmodifiable.
PM Control by APM
When this is set to Yes, the Advanced Power Management feature
in Microsoft Windows controls power management operation. The
default setting is No.
Video Off Option
User can select 4 different modes for turning off the video. The
modes are a function of the PM mode of the computer. The choices
are All Modes�Off, Always On, Suspend�Off, and Susp, St-
by�Off.
The table below summarizes the behavior of the monitor in relation
to the four PM modes.
PM Mode Monitor Behavior
All Modes Off
- Always On
Suspend Off
Susp, Stby Off
For example, if you choose Suspend�Off, then the monitor will turn
off if the computer is in the Suspend PM mode.
Chapter 3 Award BIOS Setup 63
Video Off Method
This governs monitor power saving by controlling how power
management blanks the monitor screen. The default setting blanks
the screen and turns off vertical and horizontal scanning and
requires a monitor with "green" features. If you don't have this
type of monitor, use the Blank option. DPMS (Display Power
Management System) allows the BIOS to control the video display
card if the card has the DPMS feature.
V/H SYNC+Blank (Default)
BLANK (non-green monitor, less saving)
DPMS (Display card must support DPMS)

IRQ it is using so that APM can control it.
