1.8Jumper Settings
This section provides instructions on how to configure your PCA-6011 by setting the
jumpers. It also includes the PCA-6011's default settings and your options for each
jumper.
1.8.1How to set jumpers
You can configure your PCA-6011 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.
1.8.2CMOS clear (CMOS1)
The PCA-6011 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 CMOS1 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 .

1.8.3Watchdog timer output (JWDT1)
The PCA-6011 contains a watchdog timer that will reset the CPU in the event the
CPU stops processing. This feature means the PCA-6011 will recover from a software failure or an EMI problem. The JWDT1 jumper settings control the outcome of
what the computer will do in the event the watchdog timer is tripped.

1.9System Memory
The PCA-6011 has two sockets for 240-pin dual inline memory modules (DIMMs) in
two memory channels.
All these sockets use 1.5 V unbuffered doubl e data rat e synchronous DRAMs (DDR3
SDRAM). They are available in capacities of 512 MB, 1 GB, and 2 GB. The sockets
can be filled in any combination with DIMMs of any size, giving a total memory size
up to 4 GB.
1.9.1CPU FSB and memory speed
The PCA-6011 can accept DDR3 SDRAM memory chips without parity. Also note:
The PCA-6011 accepts DDR3 800/1066 MHz SDRAM. The PCA-6011 does NOT
support ECC (error checking and correction).
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.

2.1Introduction
You can access most of the connectors from the top of the board while it is installed
in the chassis. If you have a nu mber of cards installed or have a p ack ed ch assis, you
may need to partially remove the card to make all the connecti ons.
2.2IDE Connectors (IDE1)
You can attach up to two IDE (Integrated Drive Electronics) drives to the PCA-6011's
built-in controller.
Wire number 1 on the cable is red or blue and the other wires are gray. Connect one
end to connector IDE1 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.

The PCA-6011 watchdog timer can be used to monitor system software operation
and take corrective action if the software fails to function wit h in 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 to the super I/O controller W83627DHG-P. 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 reset signal i f the software fails to reset the timer
before time-out.

The JWDT1 jumper is used to select r eset in t he event t he wat chdog ti mer is t ripped.
See Chapter 1 for detailed jumper settings.
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) i s the data port. You must first assign the
address of the register by writing an address value into address port 2E (hex), then
write/read data to/from the assigned register through data port 2F (hex).
