Detailed explanation of core functional modules

1. Display system

Sil1362 SDVO to DVI chip, dual independent display output, supports hot swapping DirectX9/OpenGL1.5。

2. Serial port function

Both COM1 and COM2 switch between four electrical modes (RS232 full modulation, 422 half duplex, 485 half duplex, 485+) through onboard DIP switching. The manual provides a complete configuration table for DIP switches SW1-SW8.

3. PMC Expansion

3.3V/5V IO level optional (JPX1 jumper), matched with DB-6965PMC adapter card to achieve front PMC panel output.

4. Watchdog Timer WDT

Implemented by SuperIO hardware, timeout range is 1 second to 255 minutes; The software can start stop, reload timing, and automatically reset the entire machine after timeout; Comes with DOS sample C source code.

5. PXE network boot

The dual gigabit network card supports remote network booting and requires a DHCP/MTTFP/PCIe server.

6. Hardware monitoring

Real time collection of CPU/board temperature and various voltages, which can be viewed in the BIOS for status.

Installation chapter

Step by step complete installation process, accompanied by physical pictures:

1. CPU cooling: Pre installed at the factory, not recommended to be disassembled, replacement requires matching thermal pads;

2. Installation of memory SO-DIMM;

3. CompactFlash card fixation (with metal blocking plate to prevent loosening);

4. 2.5-inch SATA hard drive: DB-6910SAT adapter board, fixed with column screws;

5. PMC sub card assembly (switch 3.3V/5V positioning key);

6. Installation of onboard USB flash module;

7. Insert the motherboard into the CPCI chassis and lock it tightly;

8. Install the RTM adapter module (must match the model to avoid hardware damage).

Driver installation

Supported systems: Windows XP/Vista, Fedora7/10, can provide Linux/VxWorks BSP;

Windows XP installation sequence: chipset driver → graphics card driver → network card driver → SCSI driver (RTM requires installation with SCSI); The driver can be downloaded from the official website of the accompanying AD integrated CD.
