PCM-3386 User’s Manual 12
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.
2.5 Solid State Disk
The PCM-3386 provides a CompactFlash™ card socket for Solid state
disk solutions.
2.5.1 CompactFlash (CN16)
The CompactFlash card shares a secondary IDE channel which can be
enabled/disabled via the BIOS settings.
2.6 Keyboard and PS/2 mouse connector (CN4)
The PCM-3386 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
standard PC/AT BIOS will report an error or fail during power-on self-
test (POST) after a reset. The PCM-3386’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.
2.7 Front Panel Connector (CN6)
Next, you may want to install external switches to monitor and control the
PCM-3386. These features are optional: install them only if you need
them. The Front Panel connector (CN6) is a 6-pin male, dual in-line
header. It provides hardware reset, ATX power ON/OFF switch connec-
tor, and Buzzer.
2.7.1 Power Switch (pin 1-2 of CN6)
If your computer case is equipped with an ATX power supply, you should
connect the power on/off button on your computer case to CN6. This
