Chapter 2 System Setup 19
(2) We recommend that only one FDD be installed on
your PPC-105. The requisite power connector cable
is included in the PPC-105 accessory box.
(3) Make sure the red wire corresponds to pin 1 on the
connectors
2.4.3 Parallel port connection
Normally a parallel port is used to connect a printer to a system. The
PPC-105 includes one multimode (ECP/EPP) parallel port with a 25-pin
D-sub connector.
The parallel port is designated as LPT1 and can be disabled or
changed to LPT2 or LPT3 in the system BIOS setup.
The parallel port interrupt channel is designated to be IRQ7 or IRQ5.
The BIOS standard setup menu allows selection of "278H/IRQ5,
378H/IRQ7, 3BCH/IRQ7".
ECP/EPP DMA channels (DMA1 and DMA3) can be selected via the
BIOS setup.
2.4.4 PS/2 keyboard and PS/2 mouse
The PPC-105 provides a PS/2 keyboard connector that supports a PS/2
style keyboard and a 5-pin DIN keyboard extension cable. In most
cases, especially in embedded applications, a keyboard is not used.
The standard PC/AT BIOS will report an error or failure during power-
on self-test (POST) after a reset if the keyboard is not present. The
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. Note that the mouse port on the PPC-105 is a PS/2 mouse port.
* Note: "All, But keyboard" is the default setting.
