Serial Ports
The EPM-14 features three on-board 16550-based serial channels located at standard PC I/O
addresses. COM1 and COM2 are RS-232 (115.2K baud) serial ports. IRQ lines are chosen in
CMOS Setup. COM3 operates in RS-422 or RS-485 mode. IRQ lines are chosen in the CMOS
Setup. Each COM port can be independently enabled or disabled in CMOS Setup.
For information on setting the COM ports to high-speed baud rates, see the
AMD LX 800 Data
Book
(COM1 and COM2) or the
AMD CS5536 Companion Device Data Book
(COM3).

ONFIGURATION
There are no configuration jumpers for COM1 and COM2 since they only operate in RS-232
mode. Jumper V3 is used to enable the RS-422/485 termination resistor for COM3. The
termination resistor should be enabled for RS-422/485 endpoint station. It should be disabled for
the RS-485 intermediate station.

ONNECTORS
See the
Connector Location Diagrams
on pages 15 for connector and cable information. The
pinouts of the DB9M connectors apply to the serial connectors on the VersaLogic breakout board
CBR-5011.
These connectors use IEC 61000-4-2-rated TVS components to help protect against ESD damage.
