3-18 Workstation 5A Setup Guide - Fourth Edition
What’s Inside?
System Board Description
IO Panel
Four USB 2.0 connectors are located on the IO Panel designated USB1
through USB4. A fifth USB Port, USB6 is available through a custom
connector to deliver a form of powered USB, using individual +5V,
+12V, and +24V dongles.
The five USB Ports available on the IO Panel can be disabled through
BIOS or WS5A Diagnostics Utility.
System Board
The remaining USB ports are reserved for various IO devices within
the workstation. This includes dedicated connectors for the USB Hard
Drive, optional Mini-PCI WiFi Card, custom powered USB connector,
and a single right-angle USB connector available for options such as
the fingerprint reader.
Of the two remaining USB ports, one is dedicated to the on-board ELO
COACH IV Resistive Touch screen Controller and one is routed to the
PCI Express Mini Card/Express Card socket.
IDE
The ICH8M contains a single IDE channel supporting up to two ATAPI
compatible devices.
The IDE interface supports PIO IDE transfers up to 16 MB/sec and Ultra
ATA transfers up to 100MB/sec with full Direct Memory Access (DMA)
support.
The IDE interface is routed to connector IDE1, the CF Riser Card Socket.
The WS5A uses an upgraded version of the original
WS4/WS4LX/KWS4/WS5 CF Riser Card that supports DMA enabled CF
cards. DMA enabled CF Cards provide a boost in the graphics performance
of the latest POS Applications, but may not be compatible with previous
MICROS Windows CE based workstations.
The Workstation 5 and Workstation 5A Field Guide will provide more
details about the DMA Enabled CF Riser Card.
PCI Express
The ICH8M supports up to 6 PCI Express Root Ports, supporting the PCI
Express Base Specification, Revision 1.1.
PCI Express Ports 1-4 can be configured as one x2 ports (using ports 1 and
2) with ports 3 and 4 configured as x1 ports.
PCI Express port 5 is routed to the future optional PCI Express Riser Card
socket, and PCI Express port 6 is routed to the Ethernet Controller.
