Intel PCM-9387 Ethernet configuration, Watchdog timer configuration, USB connectors CN5,CN9

The board supports 2 channel 36-bit (48-bit optional) LVDS LCD panel displays. Users can connect to either an 36-bit or 48-bit LVDS LCD on it.

2.15 Ethernet configuration

The board is equipped with a high performance 32-bit PCI-bus Ethernet interface which is fully compliant with IEEE 802.3U 10/100Mbps and IEEE 802.3 z/ab 1000BASE-T standards. It is supported by all major net- work operating systems.

2.15.1100Base-T/1000Base-T connector (CN12)

100Base-T connections are made via the on-board RJ-45 connector

2.15.2Network boot(Depends on Ethernet Controller)

The Network Boot feature can be utilized by incorporating the Boot ROM image files for the appropriate network operating system. The Boot ROM BIOS files are included in the system BIOS, which is on the utility CD disc.

2.16Watchdog timer configuration

An on-board watchdog timer reduces the chance of disruptions which EMP (electro-magnetic pulse) interference can cause. This is an invalu- able protective device for standalone or unmanned applications. Setup involves one jumper and running the control software (refer to Appendix A).

2.17 USB connectors (CN5,CN9)

The board provides up to three USB (Universal Serial Bus) ports. This gives complete Plug and Play, and hot attach/detach for up to 127 external devices. The USB interfaces comply with USB specification Rev. 2.0 which supports 480Mbps transfer rate, and are fuse protected.

The USB interface is accessed through one 5 x 2-pin flat-cable connec- tors, CN5 (USB0, 1). You will need an adapter cable if you use a stan- dard USB connector. The adapter cable has a 5 x 2-pin connector on one end and a USB connector on the other.

Also, There's one USB2.0 jack on CN9 for convenient connecting USB device.

The USB interfaces can be disable in the system BIOS setup.
