registers chapter for further information):

JP1

JP2 I/O Address

ON ON 110h

OFF ON 150h

ON OFF 1A0h(Default configuration)

OFF OFF 1E0h

Warning:

Some Eurotech CPU modules (CPU-1421, CPU-1433, CPU-1233…) use address 110h, for this reason,

when you are using the COM-1289 with these modules ensure to select another free I/O address. Otherwise

your COM module will not work

Note:

Certain Eurotech CPU modules, that have a ISA Bridge installed (CPU-1x33, CPU-145x and CPU-146x etc),

require users to open IO spaces within the CPU BIOS, this board requires the following windows to be

opened:

Configuration Address: 4 Bytes

1st Base address: 32 Bytes

2nd Base address: 4 Bytes

Therefore if the Control address is 1A0h (JP1 On / JP2 Off) and the Base address is set to "260h, 660h" the

ISA Bus tab in the CPU BIOS should include the following:

I/O Space 1: Enabled Addr: 1A0h Bytes: 4

I/O Space 2: Enabled Addr: 260h Bytes: 32

I/O Space 3: Enabled Addr: 660h Bytes: 4

Users should also note that “I/O space 1” in the above example is only required to access the COM-1289

configuration software, and can therefore be removed in a final system if access is not required.

How to connect the COM-1289 to other PC/104 & PC/104-Plus

devices

The ISA Bus: J1 and J2

Connectors J1 and J2 carry the signals for the ISA Bus.

These signals match the definitions of the IEEE P996 standard.

Figure 5. ISA BUS layout

According to the PC/104 specifications, these connectors include KEY pins; these are filled holes in

the upper side and missing pins in the lower side of the bus. This is done to avoid the wrong insertion

in/of another module.

The stack assembly

The ISA bus connectors of the module are designed to allow it to be connected with other PC/104

and/or PC/104-Plus devices; we recommend users to follow this procedure to ensure that stacked

modules are not damaged.

Warning:

Appropriate ESD (Electro Static Discharge) precautions should be used for the following procedure.

1. Turn off the power to the PC/104 (or PC/104-Plus) system or stack.

2. Select and install standoffs as required to correctly position the module on the PC/104 stack.

3. Remove the module from its anti-static bag.

4. Check that keying pins in the bus connector are correctly positioned.

5. Check the stacking order; make sure an XT bus card will not be placed between two AT bus cards

or it will interrupt the AT bus signals.

6. Hold the module by its edges and orient it so that the bus connector pins line up with the matching

connector on the stack.

7. Press the module evenly onto the PC/104 stack.

Figure 6 shows a typical module stack with two PC/104 modules, one PC/104 16-BIT module, and one

PC/104 8-BIT module.

The maximum number of modules is four in addition to the Host Board.

If standard PC/104 peripheral modules are used in a stack that includes a PC/104-Plus CPU module

and PC/104-Plus peripherals, they must be the top module(s) because they will normally not include

the PCI bus (while PC/104-Plus module does).

Figure 6. The Module Stack

Warning:

Do not force the module onto the stack! Wiggling the module or applying too much pressure may damage it.

If the module does not readily press into place, remove it, check for bent pins or out-of-place keying pins,

and try again.
