Safety Precautions
Follow these simple precautions to protect yourself from harm and
your PC from damage.
1. To avoid electric shock, always disconnect the power from your
PC chassis before you work on it. Don’t touch any components on
the CPU card or other cards while the PC is on.
2. Disconnect power before making any configuration changes. The
sudden rush of power as you connect a jumper or install a card
may damage sensitive electronic components.
3. Always ground yourself to remove any static charge before you
touch your CPU card. Be particularly careful not to touch the chip
connectors. Modern integrated electronic devices, especially CPUs
and memory chips, are extremely sensitive to static electric
discharges and fields. Keep the card in its antistatic packaging
when it is not installed in the PC, and place it on a static dissipative mat when you are working with it. Wear a grounding wrist
strap for continuous protection.
10 PCA-6153 User's Manual
Jumper Settings
This section tells how to set the jumpers to configure your card. It
gives the card default configuration and your options for each jumper.
After you set the jumpers and install the card, you will also need to
run the BIOS Setup program (discussed in Chapter 3) to configure the
serial port addresses, floppy/hard disk drive types and system operating parameters. Connections, such as hard disk cables, appear in
Chapter 2.
For the locations of each jumper, see the board layout diagram
depicted earlier in this chapter.
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” a
jumper you connect the pins with the clip. To “open” a jumper you
remove the clip. Sometimes a jumper will have three pins, labeled 1, 2
and 3. In this case you connect either pins 1 and 2 or 2 and 3.

Installing DRAM (SIMMs)
On the left end of the card (away from the mounting bracket) are the
two SIMM (Single In-line Memory Module) sockets that hold the
card’s DRAM memory. See the board layout diagram depicted earlier
in this chapter.
You can use anywhere from 2 MB to 64 MB of DRAM with your
PCA-6153. The card provides two 72-pin SIMM sockets that accept
from 1 to 32 MB each. The sockets (numbered 1 and 2) are arranged
into two banks.
Memory sizes
The board accepts 1, 2, 4, 8, 16 and 32 MB 72-pin SIMMS. The
following table lists some of the different memory configurations for
the PCA-6153 card:

Peripherals
This chapter tells how to connect peripherals, switches and indicators to the PCA6153 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 if it is
otherwise difficult to access the card, you
may need to partially remove the card to
make all the connections.

The following sections tell how to make each connection. In most
cases, you will simply need to connect a standard cable.
Warning! Always completely disconnect the power cord
from your chassis whenever you are working on
it. Do not make connections while the power is
on. Sensitive electronic components can be
damaged by the sudden rush of power. 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. 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.
16 PCA-6153 User's Manual
Keyboard lock / Power LED (CN1)
You can use a LED to indicate when the CPU card is on. Pin 1 on
CN1 supplies the LED's power, and pin 3 is the ground.
You can use a switch (or a lock) to disable the keyboard so the PC
will not respond to any input. This is useful if you do not want
anyone to change or stop running a program. Connect the switch
between pins 4 and 5 of CN1.

Enhanced IDE connectors (CN4)
You can attach two IDE (Integrated Device Electronics) drives to
the PCA-6153’s internal controller. The PCA-6153 CPU card has
an EIDE connector, CN4.
Wire number 1 on the cable is red or blue, the other wires are gray.
Connect one end to connector CN4 on the CPU card. Make sure
that the red (or blue) wire corresponds to pin 1 on the connector
(on the right side). 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, 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, you should set it
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 drive as described above on CN4.

Flat panel display connector (CN5)
CN5 consists of a 44-pin, dual in-line header. Power flow (+12 V)
depends on the supply connected to the board.
The PCA-6153 provides a bias control signal on CN5 which can
be used to control the LCD bias voltage. It is recommended that
the LCD bias voltage not be applied to the panel until the logic
supply voltage (+5 V) and panel video signals are stable. Under
normal operation, the control signal (ENAVEE) is active high.
When the PCM-6153 board's power is applied, the control signal is
low until just after the relevant flat panel signals are present.
Configuration of the LCD type is done via the software utility.
You do not have to set any jumpers. Refer to chapter 4 for the
software setup details. Chapter 4 also provides information on
connecting the following LCDs: Sharp LM64183P/LM64P89,
Toshiba LTM10C042, Sharp 64C142, and Planar EL display.

Serial ports (CN10, CN17)
The PCA-6153 offers two serial ports: COM1 in RS-232, COM2
in RS-232/422/485. These ports let you connect to serial devices (a
mouse, printers, etc.) or a communication network.
You can select the address for each port ( For example, 3F8H
[COM1], 2F8H [COM2]) or disable it, using the BIOS Advanced
Setup program, covered in Chapter 3.
The card mounting bracket holds the serial port connector for the
one port, and the parallel port and serial port adapter kit (supplied
with the card) holds the connector for the other port. This lets you
connect and disconnect cables after you install the card. The DB-9
connector on the bottom of the bracket is the first RS-232 port,
COM1. The DB-9 connector on the adapter kit is the second serial
port, COM2.

is covered in Chapter 4.
Sections include:
• LCD display configuration
• Connections for four standard LCDs
Introduction
The PCA-6153 system BIOS and custom drivers are located in a
128 Kbyte, 32-pin Flash ROM device, designated U11. A single
Flash chip holds the system BIOS, and VGA BIOS. The display
type can be configured via software. This method minimizes the
number of chips and eases configuration. You can change the
display BIOS simply by reprogramming the Flash chip.
Utility disk
The PCA-6153 is supplied with a software utility disk. This disk
contains the necessary file for setting up the VGA display.
Directories and files on the disk are as follows:
README.DOC
AWDFLASH.EXE
6153_SYS.BIN
6153_CRT.BIN
6153_TFT.BIN
6153_STN.BIN
6153_MON.BIN
6153_EL.BIN
CBROM.EXE
AWDFLASH.EXE
This program allows you to write the VGA BIOS files to the BIOS
Flash ROM. The VGA files all come ready formatted for the PCA6153 with .BIN extensions. See README.DOC. These files
support various CRT and flat panel displays. They are custom
written and can be made available upon request.
6153_SYS.BIN
This binary file contains the system BIOS.
6153_CRT.BIN
Supports CRT only.
44 PCA-6153 User's Manual
6153_TFT.BIN (default)

6153_EL.BIN
Supports 640 x 480 EL displays (PLANAR EL640480 - A Series).
CBROM.EXE
This program allows you to combine your own VGA BIOS with
system BIOS (6153_SYS.BIN).
VGA display software configuration
The PCA-6153 on-board VGA/LCD interface supports a wide
range of popular LCD, EL, gas plasma flat panel displays and
traditional analog CRT monitors. The interface can drive CRT
displays with resolutions up to 1280 x 1024 in 16 colors. It is also
capable of driving color panel displays with resolutions of 1024 x
768. The LCD type is configured completely via the software
utility, so you don’t have to set any jumpers. Configure the LCD
type as follows:
Chapter 4 Software Configuration 45
1. Apply power to the PCA-6153 with a color TFT display
attached. This is the default setting for the PCA-6153. Ensure

CHAPTER
PCI SVGA Setup
The PCA-6153 features an on-board PCI
flat panel/VGA interface. This chapter
provides instructions for installing and
operating the software included on the
display driver diskette.
Chapter 5 PCI SVGA Setup 51
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. The enhanced display drivers for the PCA-6153
board are located on the software installation diskette. You must
install the drivers and utility software by using the supplied
SETUP program for DOS drivers
Note: The files on the software installation diskette 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.

Simultaneous display mode
The 65550 VGA BIOS supports monochrome LCD, EL, color
TFT and STN LCD flat panel displays. It also supports interlaced
and non-interlaced analog monitors (VGA color and VGA
monochrome) in high-resolution modes while maintaining
complete IBM VGA compatibility. Digital monitors (i.e. MDA,
CGA, and EGA) are NOT supported. Multiple frequency (multisync) monitors are supported as analog monitors.
Both CRT and panel displays can be used simultaneously. The
PCA-6153 can be set in one of three configurations: on a CRT, on
a flat panel display, or on both simultaneously. The system is
initially set to simultaneous display mode. In the utility diskette,
there are three .COM files which can be used to select the display.
Simply type the filename at the DOS prompt:
CT.COM Enables CRT display only
FP.COM Enables panel display only
SM.COM Enables both displays at the same time.
Sleep mode
The display driver diskette contains two files that support sleep
mode. Simply type the filename at the DOS prompt:
ON.COM switches to normal display mode.
OFF.COM switches to sleep mode.
Chapter 5 PCI SVGA Setup 53
Driver installation
Necessary prerequisites
The instructions in this manual assume that you understand
elementary concepts of MS-DOS and the IBM Personal Computer.
Before you attempt to install any driver or utility you should:
know how to copy files from a floppy disk to a directory on the
hard disk, understand the MS-DOS directory structure, and know
how to format a floppy disk. If you are uncertain about any of
these concepts, please refer to the DOS or Windows user reference
guides for more information before you proceed with the installation.
Before you begin
Before you begin installing software drivers, you should make a
backup copy of the display driver diskette and store the original in
a safe place. The display driver diskette contains drivers for
several versions of certain applications. You must install the
correct version in order for the driver to work properly so make
sure you know which version of the application you have.

Chapter 5 PCI SVGA Setup 61
Installation Notes
1. During the installation of this driver, DISPLAY.LOG and
DSPINSTL.LOG files are created in \OS2\INSTALL directory.
These files identify the OS/2 system files that were updated and
indicate whether the install was successful. The DISPLAY.LOG
file also contains a string which identifies the version of driver
that was installed. This information may be important when
reporting an installation problem.
2. During installation, DSPINSTL will invoke the SVGA Configu-
ration program SVGA.EXE to determine the hardware configuration, and create the file \OS2\INSTALL\SVGADATA.PMI. If
this file is not created, the adapter will not be supported. When
this step is done, the display will be blanked, and you may see a
series of flashes on the display, and what appears to be a
“corrupted” display. This is normal, as the configuration process
is doing Video BIOS mode sets to determine which screen
resolutions BIOS supports. This configuration information is
then used to provide the System-Settings Resolution and Refresh
selections.

Programming the
Watchdog Timer
The PCA-6153 is equipped with a
watchdog timer that resets the CPU or
generates an interrupt if processing comes
to a standstill for whatever reason. This
feature ensures system reliability in
industrial standalone and unmanned
environments.
Programming the Watchdog Timer
If you decide to program the watchdog timer, you must create a
program which writes I/O port address 443 (hex). The output data
is a value timer. You can write from 01 (hex) to 3F(hex), and the
related timer is 1 sec. to 63 sec.
After data entry , your program must refresh the watchdog timer by
rewriting the I/O port 443 (hex) while simultaneously setting it.
When you want to disable the watchdog timer, your program
should read I/O port 043 (hex).
The following is an example of a program for the watchdog timer:
Step 1 Out 443h data REM Start and reset the watchdog timer
Step 2 Your application task #1
Step 3 Out 443h, data REM Reset the timer
Step 4 Your application task #2
Step 5 Out 443h, data REM Reset the timer
Step 6 in 043h, REM Disable the watchdog timer
Data Values
01 1 sec.
02 2 sec.
03 3 sec.
04 4 sec.
