PCA-6178 User's Manual
1.1 Introduction
The PCA-6178 Series all-in-one industrial grade CPU card uses Intel's
highly acclaimed Pentium® III/ Celeron ™ processor, together with the
Intel 440BX PCI chipset. The card works with standard ISA or
PCI/ISA-bus passive backplanes.
The CPU provides 256 KB/128 KB on-CPU L2 cache, eliminating the
need for external SRAM chips. It has two PCI EIDE interfaces (for up
to four devices) and a floppy disk drive interface (for up to two
devices). Other features include two RS-232 serial ports (16C550
UAR T s with 16-byte FIFO or compatible), one enhanced parallel port
(supports EPP/ECP) and two USB (Universal Serial Bus) ports. The
PCI enhanced IDE controller supports Ultra DMA/33 and PIO Mode 4
operation. This provides data transfer rates of over 33 MB/sec.
System BIOS supports boot-up from an IDE CD-ROM, SCSI CD-ROM,
LS-120, FDD, IDE HDD, SCSI CD-ROM, and ZIP-100.
A backup of CMOS data is stored in the Flash memory , which protects
data even after a battery failure. Also included is a 63-level watchdog
timer, which resets the CPU or generates an interrupt if a program
cannot be executed normally . This enables reliable operation in
unattended environments.
The PCA-6178 Series offers several impressive industrial features such
as a VGA (AGP) controller, a PCI Ultra2 SCSI controller , a 10/100Base-T
networking controller, three DIMM slots for a total of 768 MB RAM
memory , and an ISA High Drive. In addition, the PCA-6178 Series
supports a solid state disk (SSD) using M-Systems Corporation's
DiskOnChip® 2000 Flash disk, for up to 144 MB of non-volatile, reliable
memory that is not vulnerable to the hazards of an industrial computing environment. All these make it an ideal choice for applications that
require both high performance and full functionality .
Note: Some of the features mentioned above are not
av ailable with all models . For more inf ormation about
the specifications of a particular model, see Section
1.3: Specifications.
Chapter 1 Hardware Configuration

1.2 Features
1. Fan status monitoring and alarm: To prevent system overheat-
ing and damage, the CPU fan can be monitored for speed and
failure. The fan is set for its normal RPM range, and alarm
thresholds.
2. Temperature monitoring and alert: To prevent system overheat-
ing and damage, the CPU card supports processor thermal sensing
and auto-protection.
3. Voltage monitoring and alert: System voltage levels are moni-
tored to ensure stable current flows to critical components.
Voltage specifications will become even more critical for processors of the future. Thus monitoring will become ever more
necessary to ensure proper system configuration and management.
4. ATX soft power switch: Through the BIOS, the power button can
be defined as the "Standby" (aka "Suspend" or "Sleep") button or
as the "Soft-Off" button (see Section 3.6.3 Soft-off by PWRBTN). Regardless of the setting, pushing the power button for
more than 4 seconds will enter the Soft-Off mode.
5. Wake-on-ring (requires modem): This allows a computer to be
turned on remotely through an internal or external modem. Users
can thus access information on their computers from anywhere in
the world!
6. Wake-on-LAN: This allows you to remotely power up your
system through your network by sending a wake-up frame or
signal. With this feature, you can remotely upload/download data
to/from systems during off-peak hours.
7. Message LED: Chassis LEDs now act as information providers.
The way a particular LED illuminates indicates the stage the
computer is in. A single glimpse provides useful information to the
user.

PCA-6178 User's Manual
8. Jumper free mode: When enabled, this allows processor settings
and easy overclocking of frequency and Vcore voltages all
through the BIOS setup. Easy-to-use DIP switches instead of
jumpers are included in case you want to manually adjust the
processor's external frequency.
9. CMOS RAM backup: When BIOS CMOS setup has been
completed, data in the CMOS RAM is automatically backed up to
the Flash ROM. This is particularly useful in industrial environments which may cause soft errors. Upon such an error occurring,
BIOS will check the data, and automatically restore the original
data for booting.
10. Power On by Alarm: Powers up your computer at a certain
time
11. Virus warning: During and after system boot-up, any attempt
to write to the boot sector or partition table of the hard disk
drive will halt the system. In this case, a warning message will
be displayed. You can then run your anti-virus program to
locate the problem

1.7 Safety Precautions
Warning! Alwa ys completely disconnect the po wer cord from
your chassis whene v er y ou w ork with the hardware.
Do not make connections while the pow er is on.
Sensitive electronic components can be damaged
by sudden pow er surges. Only experienced
electronics personnel should open the PC chassis.
Caution! Alwa ys ground yourself to remove any static charge
before touching the CPU card. Modern electronic
devices are v ery sensitive to static electric charges.
As a safety precaution, use a grounding wrist strap
at all times. Place all electronic components in a
static-dissipative surf ace or static-shielded bag when
they are not in the chassis.

1.8 Jumper Settings
This section provides instructions on how to configure your card by
setting jumpers. It also includes the card's default settings and your
options for each jumper.
1.8.1 How to set jumpers
You configure your card to match the needs of your application by
setting jumpers. A jumper is the simplest kind of electric switch. It
consists of two metal pins and a small metal clip (often protected by a
plastic cover) that slides over the pins to connect them. To “close” (or
turn ON) a jumper, you connect the pins with the clip. To “open” (or
turn OFF) a jumper, you remove the clip. Sometimes a jumper
consists of a set of three pins, labeled 1, 2 and 3. In this case you
connect either pins 1 and 2, or 2 and 3.
A pair of needle-nose pliers may be useful when setting jumpers.
1.8.2 CPU clock ratio setting (SW1)
Y ou must configure your PCA-6178 CPU card to the frequency of your
Intel® Celeron™/Coppermine processor by setting jumper SW1. The
PCA-6178 SW1 jumper is equpped to use Intel Celeron/Coppermine
processors with speed ratios of 2, 2.5, 3, 3.5, 4, 4.5, 5, 5.5 6, 6.5, 7, 7.5, 8,
8.5, 9, or 9.5 with a bus clock speed of 66/100 MHz. Configure your
PCA-6178 as follows:

1.8.4 CMOS clear (J1)
The PCA-6178 CPU card contains a jumper that can erase CMOS data
and reset the system BIOS information. Normally this jumper should
be set with pins 1-2 closed. If you want to reset the CMOS data, set J1
to 2-3 closed for just a few seconds, and then move the jumper back to
1-2 closed. This procedure will reset the CMOS to its default setting.
Table 1-5: CMOS clear (J1)
Function Jumper setting
* Keep CMOS data 1-2 closed
Clear CMOS data 2-3 closed
* default setting
1.8.5 Watchdog timer output (J2)
The PCA-6178 contains a watchdog timer that will reset the CPU or
send a signal to IRQ11 in the event the CPU stops processing. This
feature means the PCA-6178 will recover from a software failure or an
EMI problem. The J2 jumper settings control the outcome of what the
computer will do in the event the watchdog timer is tripped.
