1 Chapter 1 Hardware Configuration

Chapter 1 Hardware Configuration

1.1 Introduction

The PCA-6002 Series all-in-one industrial grade CPU card uses Intel®'s
highly acclaimed Pentium® III low power processor 500MHz, or Celeron

TM

400 MHz together with the Intel ® 815E chipset. The card works with

standard ISA or PCI/ISA-bus passive backplanes.

The CPU provides 128/256 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 UARTs with 16-byte
FIFO or compatible), one enhanced parallel port and four USB (Universal
Serial Bus) ports. The PCI enhanced IDE controller supports Ultra ATA/
100/66/33 and PIO Mode 4 operation. This provides data transfer rates of
over 100/66/33 MB/sec. System BIOS supports boot-up from an IDE
CD-ROM, SCSI CD-ROM and LS-120.

A backup of CMOS data is stored in the Flash memory, which protects
data even after a battery failure. Also included is a 255-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-6002 Series offers several impressive industrial features such as
a chipset integrated VGA (AGP) controller, dual 10/100Base-T network­ing controllers, two angle DIMM slots for a total of 512 MB SDRAM
memory, and an ISA High Drive. All these make it an ideal choice for
applications that require both high performance and full functionality.

The remote management interface enables the PCA-6002 to be managed
through Ethernet when it is connected to the SNMP-1000 Remote HTTP/
SNMP System Manager.

Note: Some of the features mentioned above are not available

with all models. For more information about the specifica­tions of a particular model, see Section 1.3: Specifications.

PCA-6002, Ed. 2 User’s Manual 2

1.2 Features

1. Fan status monitoring and alarm: To prevent system overheating
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 3.7.5 Soft-off by PWR-BTN).
Regardless of the setting, pushing the power button for more than 4
seconds will enter the Soft-Off mode.

5. Power-on by modem (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. Power-on by 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.

8. 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.

9. More:

• Power On by Alarm: Powers up your computer at a certain time

• 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

1.6 Safety Precautions

Warning! Always completely disconnect the power cord from

your chassis whenever you work with the hardware.
Do not make connections while the power is on. Sen­sitive electronic components can be damaged by
sudden power surges. Only experienced electronics
personnel should open the PC chassis.

Caution! Always ground yourself to remove any static charge

before touching the CPU card. Modern electronic
devices are very sensitive to static electric charges.
As a safety precaution, use a grounding wrist strap
at all times. Place all electronic components on a
static-dissipative surface or in a static-shielded bag
when they are not in the chassis.

1.7 Jumper Settings

This section provides instructions on how to configure your card by set­ting the jumpers. It also includes the card's default settings and your
options for each jumper.

1.7.1 How to set the jumpers

You configure your card to match the needs of your application by setting
the jumpers. A jumper is a metal bridge that closes an electrical circuit. 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.

1.7.2 CMOS clear (J1)

The PCA-6002 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

PCA-6002, Ed. 2 User’s Manual 10

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 1.3: Table 1-3: CMOS clear (J1)

Function Jumper setting

* Keep CMOS data 1-2 closed

1.7.3 Watchdog timer output (J2)

The PCA-6002 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-6002 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.

11 Chapter 1 Hardware Configuration

Note: The interrupt output of the watchdog timer is a low level

signal. It will be held low until the watchdog timer is
reset.

1.8 System Memory

The top-left edge of the PCA-6002 contains two angle sockets for 168­pin dual in-line memory modules (DIMMs). All two angle sockets use

3.3 V unbuffered synchronous DRAMs (SDRAM). DIMMs are available
in capacities of 16, 32, 64, 128, or 256 MB. The sockets can be filled in
any combination with DIMMs of any size, giving your PCA-6002 single
board computer between 16 MB and 512 MB of memory. Use the follow­ing table to calculate the total DRAM memory within your computer:

Table 1.5: Table 1-5: DIMM module allocation table

Socket number 168-pin DIMM memory

1 (16, 32, 64, 128, or 256 MB) x 1

2 (16, 32, 64, 128, or 256 MB) x 1

1.8.1 Sample calculation: DIMM memory capacity

Suppose you install a 128 MB DIMM into your PCA-6002's socket 1 and
a 32 MB DIMM into sockets 2. Your total system memory is 160 MB,
calculated as follows:

Table 1.6: Table 1-6: DIMM memory capacity sample calculation

Socket number 168-pin DIMM memory Total memory

1 128 MB x 1 128 MB
2 32 MB x 1 32 MB

Total memory 160 MB

PCA-6002, Ed. 2 User’s Manual 12

1.9 Memory Installation Procedures

To install DIMMs, first make sure the two handles of the DIMM socket
are in the "open" position (i.e., the handles lean outward). Slowly slide
the DIMM module along the plastic guides on both ends of the socket.
Then press the DIMM module right down into the socket, until you hear a
click. This is when the two handles have automatically locked the mem­ory module into the correct position of the DIMM socket. To remove the
memory module, just push both handles outward, and the memory mod­ule will be ejected by the mechanism in the socket.

1.10 Cache Memory

Since the second-level (L2) cache has been embedded into the Intel ®
BGA Pentium ® III/Celeron ™ processor, you do not have to take care of
either SRAM chips or SRAM modules. The built-in second-level cache in
the processor yields much higher performance than the external cache
memories. The cache size in the Intel ® BGA Pentium ® III processor is
256 KB. In the Celeron CPU, the cache size is 128KB.

1.11 CPU Installation

The PCA-6002 is designed for Intel Pentium® III processor/Celeron™
(BGA package)

Warning: The CPU and heatsink would be pre-installed in

Advantech factory. WIth the use of low power pro­cessor, fan is not necessarily required. Please do
not try to remove the CPU by yourself. It required
special equipment to do so.

CHAPTER

Connecting Peripherals

This chapter tells how to connect peripherals,
switches, and indicators to the PCA-6002
board.

15 Chapter 2 Connecting Peripherals

Chapter 2 Connecting Peripherals

2.1 Introduction

You can access most of the connectors from the top of the board while it
is installed in the chassis. If you have a number of cards installed or have
a packed chasis, you may need to partially remove the card to make all
the connections.

Note: If your chassis has only one empty expansion slot to

accommodate the CPU card, you can replace the
standard dual-slot bracket with the single-slot
bracket included in your PCA-6002 package, in
which case you will have to access the connectors
(CN31~34) on the extension I/O board from inside
the chassis.

2.2 Primary (CN1) and Secondary (CN2) IDE Connec­tors

CN1

CN2

You can attach up to four IDE (Integrated Drive Electronics) drives to the
PCA-6002’s built-in controller. The primary (CN1) and secondary (CN2)
connectors can each accommodate two drives.

Wire number 1 on the cable is red or blue and the other wires are gray.
Connect one end to connector CN1 or CN2 on the CPU card. Make sure
that the red/blue wire corresponds to pin 1 on the connector (in the upper
right hand corner). See Chapter 1 for help finding the connector.

Unlike floppy drives, IDE hard drives can connect in either position on
the cable. If you install two drives to a single connector, you will need to

PCA-6002, Ed. 2 User’s Manual 16

set one as the master and the other as the slave. You do this by setting the
jumpers on the drives. If you use just one drive per connector, you should
set each drive as the master. See the documentation that came with your
drive for more information.

Connect the first hard drive to the other end of the cable. Wire 1 on the
cable should also connect to pin 1 on the hard drive connector, which is
labeled on the drive circuit board. Check the documentation that came
with the drive for more information.

Connect the second hard drive to the remaining connector (CN2 or CN1),
in the same way as described above.

2.3 Floppy Drive Connector (CN3)

CN3

You can attach up to two floppy disk drives to the PCA-6002's onboard
controller. You can use 3.5" (720 KB, 1.44/2.88 MB) drives.

The card comes with a 34-pin daisy-chain drive connector cable. On one
end of the cable is a 34-pin flat-cable connector. On the other end are two
sets of 34-pin flat-cable connector (usually used for 3.5" drives). The set
on the end (after the twist in the cable) connects to the A: floppy drive.
The set in the middle connects to the B: floppy drive.

17 Chapter 2 Connecting Peripherals

2.4 Parallel Port (CN4)

CN4

The parallel port is normally used to connect the CPU card to a printer.
The PCA-6002 includes an onboard parallel port, accessed through a 26­pin flat-cable connector, CN4. The card comes with an adapter cable
which lets you use a traditional DB-25 connector. The cable has a 26-pin
connector on one end and a DB-25 connector on the other, mounted on a
retaining bracket. The bracket installs at the end of an empty slot in your
chassis, giving you access to the connector.

To install the bracket, find an empty slot in your chassis. Unscrew the
plate that covers the end of the slot. Screw in the bracket in place of the
plate. Next, attach the flat-cable connector to CN4 on the CPU card. Wire
1 of the cable is red or blue, and the other wires are gray. Make sure that
wire 1 corresponds to pin 1 of CN4. Pin 1 is on the upper right side of
CN4.

2.5 USB Ports (CN6, CN31, and CN32)

CN6

The PCA-6002 provides four ports of USB (Universal Serial Bus) inter­face, which gives complete Plug & Play and hot swapping for up to 127
external devices.The USB interface complies with USB Specification
Rev. 1.0 and is fuse-protected.

CN8 and CN34

The PCA-6002 is equipped with one or two high-performance 32-bit
PCI-bus Ethernet interfaces, which are fully compliant with IEEE 802.3/u
10/100 Mbps CSMA/CD standards. They are supported by all major net­work operating systems and are 100% Novell NE-2000 compatible. The
RJ-45 jacks on the rear plate provide convenient 10/100 Base-T RJ-45
operation. If users use dual LANs, the second LAN port, CN34, is located
at top slot of the I/O expension ports.

19 Chapter 2 Connecting Peripherals

2.8 Serial Ports (CN9: COM1; CN10: COM2)

CN10

CN9

The PCA-6002 offers two serial ports, CN9 as COM1 and CN10 as
COM2. These ports can connect to serial devices, such as a mouse or a
printer, or to a communications network.

Chapter 3 Award BIOS Setup

3.1 Introduction

Award’s BIOS ROM has a built-in setup program that allows users to
modify the basic system configuration. This type of information is stored
in battery-backed memory (CMOS RAM) so that it retains the setup
information when the power is turned off.

3.2 Entering Setup

Turn on the computer and check for the “patch code”. If there is a number
assigned to the patch code, it means that the BIOS supports your CPU.

If there is no number assigned to the patch code, please contact Advan­tech’s applications engineer to obtain an up-to-date patch code file. This
will ensure that your CPU’s system status is valid.

After ensuring that you have a number assigned to the patch code, press

ATA and/or ATAPI peripheral devices.

• Each ATA channel has independent device timings/transfers which

allows PIO-only and DMA-capable devices to share the same

ATA controller cable, where one is the master and the other the

slave, without restricting transfer mode to PIO-only for both

devices.

• Technical details of the ATA subsystem can be viewed via use of the

application.

• Drivers are optimized.
