Hardware Configuration
This chapter gives background informa­tion on the PCA-6003. It then shows you how to configure the card to match your application and prepare it for installation into your PC.
Sections include:
• Introduction
• Features
• Specifications
• Board Layout
• Jumpers and Connectors
• Safety Precautions
• Jumper Settings
• System Memory
• Memory Installation Procedures
• Cache Memory
• CPU Installation
1.1 Introduction
The PCA-6003 Series all-in-one industrial grade single board computer is a low cost yet full-featured product. It uses VIA's Apollo PLE133 chipset with integrated VGA and supports Intel Pentiun III / Celeron processor up to 1.26GHz and above. Its on-board I/O functions and industrial features can meet most of the requirements of industrial applications.
The CPU provides 128/256/512 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 (supports EPP/ECP) and two USB (Universal Serial Bus) ports. The PCI enhanced IDE controller supports Ultra DMA/33/66/100 and PIO Mode 4 operation. This provides data transfer rates of 33/66/100 MB/ sec. System BIOS supports boot-up from an IDE CD-ROM, SCSI CD-ROM, LS-120, IDE HDD, SCSI HDD, ZIP-100, LAN, and FDD.
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-6003 Series offers several impressive industrial features such as chipset built-in VGA (AGP) interface, a 10/100Base-T networking controller, two DIMM slots for a total of 1 GB RAM memory, and a high driving ISA bus. In addition, the PCA-6003 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.
®
The remote management interface enables the PCA-6003 to be managed through Ethernet when it is connected to the SNMP-1000 Remote HTTP/SNMP System Manager.

PCA-6003 User's Manual
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.
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 alarm: To prevent system overheat-
ing and damage, the CPU card supports processor thermal sensing and auto-protection.
3. Voltage monitoring and alarm: 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 3.6.6 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.

• Additional metal bracket for CPU stabilization
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

1.7 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 in a static-dissipative surface 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 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.
Chapter 1 Hardware Configuration

1.8.2 CMOS clear (J1)
The PCA-6003 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 1­2 closed. This procedure will reset the CMOS to its default setting.

1.9 System Memory
The PCA-6003 has two sockets for 168-pin dual inline memory modules (DIMMs). All these sockets use 3.3 V unbuffered synchronous DRAMs (SDRAM). DIMMs are available in capacities of 16, 32, 64, 128, 256 or 512 MB. The sockets can be filled in any combination with DIMMs of any size, giving a total memory size between 16 MB and 1 GB. Use the following table to calculate the total DRAM memory within your computer:
Table 1-5: DIMM module allocation table
Socket number 168-pin DIMM memory
1 (16, 32, 64, 128, 256 or 512 MB) x 1 2 (16, 32, 64, 128, 256 or 512 MB) x 1
1.9.1 Sample calculation: DIMM memory capacity
Suppose you install a 128 MB DIMM into your PCA-6003's socket 1 and a 32 MB DIMM into sockets. Your total system memory is 160 MB, calculated as follows:
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
Chapter 1 Hardware Configuration
15
1.9.2 Supplementary information about DIMMs
Your PCA-6003 can accept SDRAM memory chips with or without parity. Also note::
If the PCA-6003 operates at 133/100 MHz, only use PC-133/ PC-100
compliant DIMMs. Most systems will not even boot if non-compli­ant modules are used. This is due to strict timing issues involved at this speed.
SDRAM chips are usually thinner and have higher pin density than
EDO chips.
Chips with 9 chips/side support ECC; chips with 8 chips/side do not
support ECC.
1.10 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.
1.11 Cache Memory
Since the second level (L2) cache has been embedded into the Intel 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 Pentium III/Celeron processor yields much higher performance than the external cache memories. The cache size in the Intel® Pentium III processor is 256 KB or 512 KB, for Celeron processor is 128 or 256 KB.

1.12 CPU Installation
The CPU on the board must have a fan or heat sink attached, to prevent overheating.
Warning: Without a fan or heat sink, the CPU will overheat and
cause damage to both the CPU and the mother­board.
To install a CPU, first turn off your system and remove its cover. Locate the processor socket 370.
1. Make sure the socket 370 lever is in the upright position. To raise the lever, pull it out to the side a little and raise it as far as it will go.
2. Place the CPU in the empty socket. Follow the instructions that came with the CPU. If you have no instructions, complete the following procedure. Carefully align the CPU so it is parallel to the socket and the notches on the corners of the CPU correspond with the notches on the inside of the socket. Gently slide the CPU in. It should insert easily. If it does not insert easily, pull the lever up a little bit more.
3. Press the lever down. The plate will slide forward. You will feel some resistance as the pressure starts to secure the CPU in the socket. This is normal and will not damage the CPU.
When the CPU is installed, the lever should snap into place at the side of the socket.
Note: To remove a CPU, pull the lever out to the side a
little and raise it as far as it will go. Lift out the CPU.

Connecting Peripherals
This chapter tells how to connect periph­erals, switches and indicators to the PCA-6003 board. 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 your chassis is very tight, you may need to partially remove the card to make all the connections.
2.1 Primary (CN1) and Secondary (CN2) IDE Connectors
CN1
CN2
You can attach up to four IDE (Integrated Device Electronics) drives to the IDE connectors. 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 set one as the master and one 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.

2.2 Floppy Drive Connector (CN3)
You can attach up to two floppy disk drives to the PCA-6003's onboard controller. You can use any combination of 5.25" (360 KB / 1.2 MB) and/or 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 floppy disk drive connectors. Each set consists of a 34-pin flat-cable connector (usually used for 3.5" drives) and a printed circuit-board connector (usually used for 5.25" drives). You can use only one connector in each set. 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.
2.3 Parallel Port (CN4)
CN3
CN4
The parallel port is normally used to connect the CPU card to a printer. The onboard parallel port can be accessed through a 26-pin 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.
The parallel port is designated as LPT1, and can be disabled or changed to LPT2 or LPT3 in the system BIOS setup.
Chapter 2 Connecting Peripherals
21
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.
