Caution!
Be sure to connect the 2- and 4-wire baseboard DC cable
assemblies’ yellow wire (+12V) to pin 1, the black wires (ground) to pins 2,
3, and 4, and the red wires (+5VDC) to pins 5 and 6 of PWR1).
Caution!
Be sure the system power supply is disconnected from its
AC power source prior to performing the following step
…
3.2 System Setup
This section outlines a simple process for preparing Pluto for first-time operation. Additional details regarding
Pluto’s interface functions and connections may be found in Section 4 of this document (“Interface Connector
Details
”) and from the attached ETX CPU module’s user manual.
3.2.1
Display
Pluto provides both VGA monitor and LVDS flat panel display interfaces. Recognizing the complexities
associated with connection to parallel-interfaced flat panels, this quick-start process assumes the use of a
standard VGA-compatible monitor (LCD or CRT). Plug the VGA interface cable into VGA1 on the baseboard, and
connect a VGA-compatible display to the female DB15 connector on its free end.
3.2.2
Keyboard and Mouse
Pluto supports operation using either PS/2- or USB-based keyboard and mouse devices. Plug the desired
interface cable (PS/2 or USB) from the Pluto Cable Kit into the designated connector on the baseboard (KBM1,
USB1, or USB2). Then plug the keyboard and mouse interface cables into the mating connectors on the Pluto
interface cables.
3.2.3
Mass Storage Devices
Next, connect Pluto to IDE or SATA hard drive and CD-ROM drives. Depending on the ETX CPU module
attached to your Pluto boardset, Pluto can operate with a combination of both IDE and SATA drives
– both hard
drives and CD-ROMs
– and can boot from any of them.
IDE drives
-- For IDE drive connection, plug the 40-conductor IDE flat ribbon cable from the Cable Kit into
IDE1 of the Pluto baseboard, and plug the
IDE cable’s female connectors into either or both drives’ male data
connectors
. If an IDE hard drive is used, jumper the drive as the “Master” IDE device using a jumper block on
the drive (consult the drive’s documentation for details). If a second drive is to be connected to the IDE
interface cable, be sure to jumper it a
s the IDE “Slave” device.
SATA drives
– For SATA drive connection, plug the SATA interface cable from the Cable Kit into one of the
SATA connectors on the ETX CPU module. Refer to the ETX module’s User Manual for details on its SATA
interface support and connector location.
3.2.4
Connecting Power
Depending on your Pluto setup’s power requirements, attach the tinned wires of either the 2-wire (+5V only) or 4-
wire (+5V and +12V) DC power cable assemblies (items 11 and 12) to the power input terminal block (PWR1) on
the baseboard. +12V DC power input is not required by either the Pluto baseboard or the attached ETX CPU
module; it is only needed if required by add-on or external devices, including:
Modules plugged into the PC/104-
Plus
socket that r12V from the ISA or PCI buses
An external LCD backlight power supply powered by connector INV1
An auxiliary cooling fan powered with +12V through connector FAN2
External circuitry obt12V power via DIO1 (the Digital I/O port)
