The PC-IRS5-01 Infrared Receiver (IRS5) is a custom designed and manufactured device that

provides the Computer User or Builder with the following unique features:

It will function on any motherboard running Windows or Linux operating systems with

native eHome drivers. No driver downloads are needed.

It will start up and shutdown the computer from the Off, Hibernate or Sleep states

It controls such applications as Media Center and XBMC with any RC6 Remote

It mounts inside the computer case and can be used in a line-of-sight application or an

IR extender can be added to allow the computer case to be located anywhere and still

allow complete user control.

Description of the IRS5 components

The basic product comes with the IRS5 control board, 3 internal cables, 1 external cable with a

5 volt adapter and a mounting bracket with hardware.

This is the PC IRS5-01 control Board. I will refer to it as the IRS5 for simplicity. It has 4 rear

connectors to which 3 internal cables connect. The 4th connector is used for the optional IR

extender which is sold separately.

From the back of the IRS5, starting on the right, the connectors are:

The 2-wire 5V power cable labeled 5VP CN3.

The 4-wire MB Header Cable labeled MB CN4.

The 4-wire USB Cable labeled USB CN1.

Optional IR Extender. It is a 3-wire IR Extender Cable labeled EXT CN2.

The first 3 connectors are for installing the 3 internal cables described below:

a. The 5V Power cable attaches at 5V CN3. It is then run to the back of your case or

somewhere in the case where you can mount this connector. Mounting the

connector will require a hole in the case that is 3/8” in diameter. This cable is 20”

long so keep that in mind when locating the IRS5 in the case.

b. The Motherboard Front Panel Power/LED header control cable attaches to the MB

FP Header. This has a number of small wires that are color coded and labeled. It

connects the Front Panel header Power Switch and LED cables to the IRS5 while still

allowing the cases power button and power LED to continue to function.

c. The last of the standard cables is the USB cable that attaches at USB and to the

motherboard internal USB 2.0 header.

Finally, the optional IR Extender cable installation is similar to the 5V Power cable. It is

mounted somewhere inside the case. It requires a hole that is ¼” or 7mm in diameter. If

your case is a standard size with I/O plates for video and audio cards etc, you could use a

blank I/O plate and drill the holes needed for mounting the cables. This cable is 20” long.

Installation of the IRS5 control Board

If you are going to mount the IRS5 in your computer case and control it without the

extender cable, you will need to mount the board in your case so that the little black IR

Receiver module (Eye) shown has a line of sight to your remote. Here is where the

mounting bracket comes in. Install the IRS5 onto the bracket by placing the two small

cylindrical spacers between the IRS5 and the bracket under the holes in the board and in-

line with the 2 outer holes on the bracket, then place the nylon washers on the top of the

IRS5 above the holes and screw the two fasteners through the board and into the bracket.

Gently tighten the 2 screws. Be sure that the IRS5 is on the bracket as pictured below with

the little Black IR Receiver Eye facing the right angle portion of the bracket.

You can mount the bracket in your case with double stick tape or you can use (2) 4-40

machine screws to mount the bracket through the threaded holes on the front of the

bracket. When you find the spot where you are going to mount the bracket mark the spot

where you will be drilling a hole for the little bump (Eye) on the Black IR Receiver module to

look out and be seen by your remote. You could then drill the hole (about 1/8”) and mount

the bracket. You can drill a larger hole and cover it from the inside with a small piece of

Plexiglas which we can supply. The cables easily connect to the IRS5 so that should not be a

problem if you mount the bracket now. By the way, as you can see in the picture, our 1U

computer case has the window and bracket built-in if you are looking for a great small case.

If you purchase our IR Extender cable and external module that comes in the optional kit,

you can mount the IRS5 anywhere in the case with double stick tape as long as you have

room to run the Power Cable and the Extender Cable to a point in your case where you can

mount the required back plane connectors and still hook up the internal cables. Again, the

Power and Extender cables are 20” long.

Installation of the Internal Cables

5V Power Cable. Mount the female barrel connector that is on one end of the cable in a

3/8” hole in your case. You then plug the white connector into the IRS5 connector labeled

5VP CN3.

MB Header Cable. Install by plugging in the white connector on the cable to the connector

on the IRS5 labeled MB CN4. Then locate the Front Panel Power Switch header on your

motherboard (MB). You can find out which header that is and where it is located in your MB

User/Installation Guide. You will need to know the 2 pins on the header for the Power LED

and the 2 pins that are for the Power Switch on the front of your computer. In most cases

these 4 pins are side by side on the MB Front Panel header. You will also need to know in

each of these pairs of pins which are the positive (+) and negative/ground (-) pins. If these

pins are not labeled as such in your MB User Manual then you can easily find out by using a

voltage meter.

Be sure that you are working with the Front Panel Motherboard Header with this cable.

Otherwise, the IRS5 could be shorted out and become useless.

To use your volt meter, turn the power on to the computer at the power supply but do not

press the power button. Remove the front panel connectors for the power switch and the

LED from the MB Header. Touch the positive terminal (red) of your voltage meter set at 20

DCV to one of the Power Switch pins and touch the black terminal of your volt meter to a

ground like the steel in your case. It will either read “0”or give you a reading of 3-5 volts.

The pin that reads 3-5 volts is the (+). The other pin is the ground (-). If you do not find the

LED polarity in the User Manual you can find out after you install the cables. When you turn

on your system after installation, if the Front Panel LED lights up the way it did before the

installation then you have installed it correctly. If it does not light then change the

installation on the MB FP Header so that the female connector on the red wire labeled LED+

is switched with the black wire connector labeled LED- and plugged back onto the LED pins

on the header.

If you have not already done so, now you can plug the 4 female connectors labeled Power+,

Power-, LED+ and LED- to the corresponding pins on the FP MB header that you identified

before. Then plug the 4 male connectors onto the cables from the FP Power switch and FP

LED making sure that they match the original connections that existed on your MB before

you began this installation. That way the Power Switch and the LED will still be connected to

the MB as they were before we added the IRS5 cable. Only now we also have the same

connections for the IRS5.

It is critical that the LED is wired correctly because it is what tells the IRS5 that your

computer is on or off. So be sure that this and the Power Switch are wired correctly.

If you haven’t already done so, once you have installed the cable on the motherboard

header just plug the other end onto the IRS5 at the connector labeled MB CN4.

The last standard cable is the USB Cable. Plug it into the connector labeled USB CN1 on the

IRS5. Find a USB 2.0 header on your MB and plug the USB connector onto the 4 pin side.

You will note that the red wire labeled “USB Power”is separate from the other part of the

connector. This is only plugged onto the first pin of the USB header if your MB has a

powered USB header. Some MBs have “power on”to the USB headers when the system is

off but the power supply is still plugged in. You can check this by using your voltage meter in

the same way that you did for the Power Switch. With the power supply on and the

computer off check this pin by touching the red terminal of the voltage meter to the power

pin on the USB header and touch the black terminal of the voltage meter to a ground like

the metal on your computer case. If it registers 5 volts then it is powered. However, most

motherboards DO NOT have powered USB headers. So your voltage meter will read “0” at

the power pin. In that case, you do not plug in the connector on the red wire. Just let it hang

next to the other part of the USB connector. Usually, if you inadvertently plug the red wire

onto a powered USB it will not cause any problems. We leave it off to reduce any

interference when the USB is powered and we also have our 5 volt power adapter plugged

in.

Finally, if you purchased the optional IR Extender Cable kit you will mount the internal cable

the same way that you mounted the internal 5V Power Cable. However, to mount the 3.5

mini jack of the internal IR Extender Cable to the back panel of your computer, you will only

need a ¼” hole. On the other end you would plug the white male connector into the IRS5 at

the female connector labeled EXT CN2.

You are now done with the internal portion of the IRS5 installation. We have 2 more simple

steps before your IRS5 is operational. We need to plug in the external cables and then make

sure that your computers OS is set up for the IRS5.

External Connections

We provide a 36” long external 5V power cable that plugs into our Power Supply Cable

connector at the back of the case on one end and into a standard 5 volt USB power adapter

on the other end. This is the adapter used to charge iPhones and Android devices. When

connected, this cable is used to provide 5 volt power to the IRS5 that would normally come

from the USB header on the MB. However, since most MBs do not have constant “power

on”to their USB headers when in the off state, we supply the power with the adapter. The

IRS5 must have power at all times to be able to turn the MB on and off as well as to send

commands to the native eHome drivers on the MB.

Neither this external power cable nor the internal 5V Power Cable that attaches to the IRS5

is necessary if your MB has the “power on”to the USB header when the MB is shut down. If

you have a powered USB header on your MB then the red wire labeled “USB Power” must

be plugged onto the first pin of the USB header. If you do not have powered USB headers

then the red wire is not used.

The only other external connection is for the optional IR Extender Module that is supplied in

the optional IR Extender kit. After you have installed the internal IR Extender Cable in your

case, you just plug the 6’ long IR Extender Module cable into the 3.5 mini jack that you

installed on the back of your case. Then mount the IR Module Bud somewhere where there

is a clear line of sight to the IR remote that you are using to control your system. You can

even add an extra extender cable between your case and the IR Extender Module cable that

allows you to place the IR bud up to 18’ from the computer that has the IRS5.

That’s it for the actual installation of the IRS5 and the cables involved. It may look

complicated when you start but you will see how easy it is because most connections can

only be done one way based on the connector labels. The biggest decision is where to

locate the IRS5 control board in your computer case and whether you need the IR Extender

or not.

The whole process will take less than an hour to complete.

Software and System Set-up

Even though you are done with the hardware there are a couple of settings that must be

checked and/or changed so that your system and the IRS5 will operate properly together.

In Windows click the “Start Button” then click “Control Panel” then “Hardware and

Sound”, then “Power Options” and finally click “Change what the power buttons do”.

Be sure that both the Power Button and the Sleep Button are placed in “Hibernate” or “Shut

down”. We prefer “Hibernate” because your system will usually respond faster and without

any unexpected results when you press the power button of your remote to turn your

system on. However, in most cases, using the “Shut down” mode will create an equally

effective result. If you use “Shut down” and your system comes back on to a screen that

needs additional button presses from your remote in order to get back to your desired

screen, then try it in “Hibernate”. Otherwise, both will turn off your system and turn it on

again with just a press of the power button on your remote. By the way, the power button

on your computer case will also operate as before the installation of the IRS5 to turn your

system on and off.

If you are not using a Windows OS then perform the equivalent adjustments in your OS.
