Chapter 1 Hardware Configuration

1.1 Introduction

The PCA-6007 Series all-in-one industrial grade single board computer is
a high performance and full-featured computing engine. It follows the
PICMG 1.0 specification and meets most requirements for industrial
applications.

The PCA-6007 uses Intel's 865GV chipset to support Intel's Socket 478
Pentium®4, Celeron®D, and Celeron® processors with 800/533/400
MHz front side bus. The dual channel DDR 400 SDRAM interface pro­vides bottle neck free memory bandwidth up to 6.4GB/s. In addition to
the two EIDE interfaces (up to four devices), it features a high perfor­mance serial ATA interface (up to 150MB/s) which eases cabling to hard
drives in industrial chassis with thin and long cables. Other features
include chipset built-in high performance VGA interface, six USB 2.0
ports (up to 480 Mbps), and other standard PC functions like two RS-232
serial ports, one enhanced parallel port and floppy disk interface.

The PCA-6007 Series offers several impressive industrial features such
as: CMOS data backup, which is stored in the Flash memory, which pro­tects data even after battery failure. Also included is a 256-level watch­dog timer, which resets the CPU if a program cannot be executed
normally.

Note: Some of the features mentioned above are not

available with all models. For more information
about the specifications of a particular model,
see Table 1.1 : Comparison table and Section

1.3: Specifications.

PCA-6187 User’s Manual 2

1.2 Features

1. High performance: The PCA-6007 uses Intel 865GV chipset
which offers high-bandwidth interfaces such as dual-channel
DDR400 main memory, 800 MHz system bus, integrated graphics
controller with Intel® Extreme Graphics 2 Technology, Hi-Speed
USB 2.0 connectivity to ensure the flexibility and performance you
expect.

2. BIOS CMOS backup and restore: 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 harsh environ­ments which may cause setup data loss such as battery failure.
Upon such an error occurring, BIOS will check the data, and auto­matically restore the original data for booting.

3. Supports Hyper-Threading : This allows a single HT-enabled
Pentium 4 processor to process two threads simultaneously. By
building two logical processors into a single physical processor, the
performance and utilization of the processor resource will both
increase. Users can obtain a higher CPU performance while Hyper­Threading is enabled.

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 single board com­puter. 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.

Caution! The computer is provided with a battery-pow-

ered Real-time Clock circuit. There is a danger
of explosion if battery is incorrectly replaced.
Replace only with same or equivalent type rec­ommended by the manufacturer. Discard used
batteries according to manufacturer's instruc­tions.

Notice: Before install your PCA-6007 into a chassis, make sure that all components
on both sides of the CPU card do not touch any metal parts, especially the chassis
wall and add-on card at the adjacent slot.

PCA-6187 User’s Manual 10

1.8 Jumper Settings

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

1.8.1 How to set jumpers

You can configure your single board computer 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.

1.8.2 CMOS clear (J1)

The PCA-6007 single board computer 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 set-

ting.

Table 1.3: CMOS (J1)

Function Jumper Setting

* Keep CMOS data

1 -2 closed

1.8.3 Watchdog timer output (J2)

The PCA-6007 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-6007 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.

Note: The interrupt output of the watchdog timer is a

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

1.9 System Memory

The PCA-6007 has two sockets for 184-pin dual inline memory modules
(DIMMs) in two separated memory channels. It can operate with single
channel or dual channel modules. We recommend to use dual channel
mode to provide optimized performance.

All these sockets use 2.5 V unbuffered double data rate synchronous
DRAMs (DDR SDRAM). They are available in capacities of 128, 256,
512 and 1024 MB. The sockets can be filled in any combination with
DIMMs of any size, giving a total memory size between 128 MB and 4
GB.

PCA-6187 User’s Manual 12

1.9.1 CPU FSB and memory speed

The PCA-6007 can accept DDR SDRAM memory chips without parity.
Also note: The PCA-6007 accepts PC2100 (DDR266), PC2700 (DDR

333) and PC3200 (DDR 400) DDR SDRAM, depending on the CPU

front side bus frequency (FSB). Please refer below table for the relation­ship between the CPU FSB and memory speed.

Table 1.5: CPU FSB and memory speed

Memory
Speed

DDR400 Pentium 4 800 MHz 400 MHz

DDR333 Pentium 4 800 MHz 320 MHz

DDR266 Pentium 4 533 or 400 MHz 266 MHz

Processor FSB frequency Memory speed Outcome

Pentium 4 533MHz 333 MHz

Pentium 4
or Celeron

Celeron 400 MHz 266 MHz

400 MHz 266 MHz

The PCA-6007 does not support ECC (error checking and correction).
Memory modules with 9 SDRAM chips/side support ECC; modules with
8 chips/side do not support ECC.

1.9.2 Dual channel configuration

The two DIMM sockets are arranged in two channels: DIMM1 in channel
A; DIMM3 in channel B. To enable dual channel operation, please install
a matched pair of DIMMs in DIMM1 & DIMM3.

"Matched pair of DIMMs" means: same in speed (DDR266, DDR333,
DDR400), same in size (128MB, 256MB, 512MB or 1GB), same in chip
density (128 Mb, 256Mb or 512Mb and same in CSA latency). Any other
memory configuration will result in single channel memory operation.

13

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 Processor 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 over-heat and cause
damage to both the CPU and the single board computer. To install a CPU,
first turn off your system and remove its cover. Locate the processor
socket 478.

1. Make sure the socket 478 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 : The CPUs made with 0.18 micro-meter process technology
("Willamette") cannot be supported by PCA-6007.

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 chassis, you may need to partially remove the card to make all
the connections.

2.2 1st & 2nd (CN1, CN2) IDE Connectors

CN1

CN2

You can attach up to four IDE (Integrated Drive Electronics) drives to the
PCA-6007’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 single board computer.
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 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.

PCA-6007 User Manual 16

2.3 Floppy Drive Connector (CN3)

CN3

You can attach up to two floppy disk drives to the PCA-6007's on board
controller. You can use 3.5" (720 KB, 1.44 MB) drives.

The single board computer 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.

2.4 Parallel Port (CN4)

CN4

The parallel port is normally used to connect the single board computer to a
printer. The PCA-6007 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.

The parallel port is designated as LPT1, and can be disabled or changed to LPT2
or LPT3 in the system BIOS setup.

17 Chapter 2

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.

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.

3.1.1 CMOS RAM Auto-backup and Restore

The CMOS RAM is powered by an onboard button cell battery. When
you finish BIOS setup, the data in CMOS RAM will be automatically
backed up to Flash ROM. If operation in harsh industrial environment
cause a soft error, BIOS will recheck the data in CMOS RAM and auto­matically restore the original data in Flash ROM to CMOS RAM for
booting.

Note: If you intend to change the CMOS setting with-

out restoring the previous backup, you have to
click on "DEL" within two seconds of the
"CMOS checksum error..." display screen mes­sage appearing. Then enter the "Setup" screen
to modify the data. If the "CMOS checksum
error..."message appears again and again,
please check to see if you need to replace the

Chapter 4 Chipset Software Install Utility

4.1 Before you begin

To facilitate the installation of the enhanced display device drivers and
utility software, you should read the instructions in this chapter carefully
before you attempt installation. The device drivers for the PCA-6007
board are located on the software installation CD. The auto-run function
of the driver CD will guide and link you to the utilities and device drivers
under a Windows system. The Intel® Chipset Software Installation Util­ity is not required on any systems running Windows NT 4.0. Updates are
provided via Service Packs from Microsoft*.

Note: The files on the software installation CD are

compressed. Do not attempt to install the driv­ers by copying the files manually. You must use
the supplied SETUP program to install the driv­ers.

Before you begin, it is important to note that most display drivers need to
have the relevant software application already installed in the system
prior to installing the enhanced display drivers. In addition, many of the
installation procedures assume that you are familiar with both the rele­vant software applications and operating system commands. Review the
relevant operating system commands and the pertinent sections of your
application software’s user’s manual before performing the installation.

4.2 Introduction

The Intel® Chipset Software Installation (CSI) utility installs to the target

5.1 Introduction

The PCA-6007 has VGA onboard, you need to install the VGA driver to
enable the function.

The Intel® 865GV Graphics Memory Controller Hub (the 865GV
GMCH) provides an integrated graphics accelerator delivering cost com­petitive 3D, 2D, and video capabilities. The GMCH contains an extensive
set of instructions for 3D operations, BLT and Stretch BLT operations,
motion compensation, overlay, and display control. The 865GV GMCH’s
video engines support video conferencing and other video applications.
The GMCH does not support a dedicated local graphics memory inter­face; it may only be used in a UMA configuration. The features include:

• Built-in 2D/3D VGA controller.

• Use Intel® Extreme Graphics Architecture

• Integrated 350MHz RAMDAC that can directly drive a progressive

scan analog monitor up to a resolution of 2048x1536 at 75Hz

• Maximum 3D resolution supported : 1600 x 1200 x 32 @ 85Hz.

• H/W motion compensation assistance for s/w MPEG 2 decoding.

• Software DVD at 30 fps Full Screen.

5.2 Dynamic Video Memory Technology

The following is quoted from "Intel® 865GV Chipset Dynamic Video
Memory Technology", document number : 253144-001 :

The method of memory allocation where the Operating System, Applica­tion and Graphics Memory come from a unified System Memory pool
known as Unified Memory Architecture (UMA).

Dynamic Video Memory Technology (DVMT) is an enhancement of the
UMA concept, wherein the optimum amount of memory is allocated for
balanced graphics and system performance, through Direct AGP (known
as Non-Local Video Memory, or NLVM), and a highly efficient memory
utilization scheme. DVMT ensures the most efficient use of available
memory – regardless of frame buffer or main memory sizing – for maxi­mum 2D/3D graphics performance.

PCA-6007 User Manual 52

DVMT dynamically responds to system requirements, and application
demands, by allocating the proper amount of display, texturing and buffer
memory after the operating system has booted. For example, a 3D appli­cation when launched may require more vertex buffer memory to
enhance the complexity of objects, or more texture memory to enhance
the richness of the 3D environment. The operating system views the inte­grated graphics driver as an application, which uses Direct AGP to
request allocation of additional memory for 3D applications, and returns
the memory to the operating system (OS) when no longer required.

The Intel Extreme Graphics Driver determines the size of the pre-allo­cated memory needed and will make additional Non-Local Video Mem­ory requests to achieve the amount needed for the display and application
requirement. The video memory size in the Intel® 865GV chipset varies
and is determined using several factors. The key factors are system
resources and system activity. The maximum video memory is up to
64MB SDRAM

system.

You can view or change values for various OBS settings by running this
utility:

1. From the desktop of Windows, click on "Start" and select "Pro­grams" , select "Winbond HWDoctor" and click "HWDOCTOR."

2. It is recommended that you load the default values for all the OBS

A.1 Programming the Watchdog Timer

The PCA-6007's watchdog timer can be used to monitor system software
operation and take corrective action if the software fails to function after
the programmed period. This section describes the operation of the
watchdog timer and how to program it.

A.1.1 Watchdog timer overview

The watchdog timer is built-in the super I/O controller W83627HF. It
provides the following functions for user programming:

• Can be enabled and disabled by user's program.

• Timer can be set from 1 to 255 seconds or 1 to 255 minutes.

• Generates an interrupt or resets signal if the software fails to reset the

timer after time-out.

A.1.2 Reset/ Interrupt selection

The J2 jumper is used to select reset or interrupt (IRQ 11) in the event the
watchdog timer is tripped. See Chapter 1 for detailed jumper settings.

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

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

A.1.3 Programming the Watchdog Timer

The I/O port address of the watchdog timer is 2E(hex) and 2F(hex).

2E (hex) is the address port. 2F(hex) is the data port.

You must first assign the address of register by writing address value

into address port 2E(hex), then write/read data to/from the assigned

register through data port 2F (hex).

01~FF (hex): The amount
of the count, in seconds or
minutes, depends on the
value set in register F5
(hex). This number decides
how long the watchdog
timer waits for strobe
before generating an inter­rupt or reset signal. Writing
a new value to this register
can reset the timer to count
with the new value.
