100/10 Mbps fast Ethernet interface (PCA-6154 only), one RS-232 port,
one RS-232/422/485 port, one multi-mode parallel (ECP/EPP/SPP) port,
a floppy drive controller and a keyboard and PS/2 mouse interface. The
built-in high speed PCI IDE controller supports both PIO and bus
master modes. Up to two IDE devices can be connected, including
large hard disks, CD-ROM drives, tape backup drives and other IDE
devices. The PCA-6154/6154L also supports two USB ports and one
fast infrared port.
The PCA-6154/6154L also features power management to minimize
power consumption. It complies with the "Green Function" standard
and supports three types of power saving features: Doze mode,
Standby mode and Suspend mode. A watchdog timer can automatically reset the system or generate an interrupt should the system stop
due to a program bug or EMI.

1.7 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. W ear a
grounding wrist strap for continuous protection.
1.8 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.
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 cap (often protected by a
plastic cover) that slides over the pins to connect them. To "close" a
jumper you connect the pins with the cap. T o "open" a jumper you
remove the cap. 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.

Y ou may find a pair of needle-nose pliers useful for setting the jumpers.
If you have any doubts about the best hardware configuration for your
application, contact your local distributor or sales representative before
you make any changes.

1.8.3 Watchdog timer configuration (JP4)
An on-board watchdog timer reduces the chance of disruptions which
EMP (electro-magnetic pulse) interference can cause. This is an invaluable protective device for standalone or unmanned applications. Setup
involves two jumpers and running the control software. (Refer to
Appendix A.)
12 PCA-6154/6154L User's Manual
Watchdog timer action (JP4)
When the watchdog timer activates (CPU processing has come to a
halt), it can reset the system. This can be set via setting JP4 as shown
below:

CHAPTER
Connecting
Peripherals
This chapter tells how to connect
peripherals, switches and indicators to the
PCA-6154/6154L 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.
The following table lists the connectors on the PCA-6154/6154L.

The following sections tell how to make each connection. In most
cases, you will simply need to connect a standard cable. All of the
connector pin assignments are shown in Appendix C.
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 a
sudden rush of power. Only experienced electronics
personnel should open the PC chassis.
18 PCA-6154/6154L User's Manual
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.
2.1 Enhanced IDE Connector (CN1)
You can attach two IDE (Integrated Device Electronics) drives to the
PCA-6154/6154L’s internal controller. The PCA-6154/6154L CPU
card has an EIDE connector, CN1.
Wire number 1 on the cable is red or blue, the other wires are gray.
Connect one end to connector CN1 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 CN1.
Note: We don't recommend connecting to a Seagate
ST-31010A, ST-31011A, ST-1277A, ST-31720A,
ST-31721A, ST-32120A, ST-32121A, ST-32531A,
33230A, ST-33240A, ST-34340A, or ST-3852A IDE

You can attach up to two floppy disk drives to the PCA-6154/6154L’s
on-board 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 34pin flat-cable connector (usually used for 3.5" drives) and a printedcircuit-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. The set in the middle connects to
the B: floppy.
2.4 Parallel Port Connector (CN3)
The parallel port is normally used to connect the CPU card to a
printer. The PCA-6154/6154L includes an on-board parallel port,
accessed through a 26-pin flat-cable connector, CN3. 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.
20 PCA-6154/6154L User's Manual
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 CN3 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 CN3. Pin 1 is on the
right side of CN3.
2.5 Keyboard & PS/2 Mouse Connector (CN15)
The PCA-6154/6154L board provides a keyboard connector. A 6-pin
mini-DIN connector (CN15) on the card mounting bracket supports
single-board computer applications. The card comes with an adapter
to convert from the 6-pin mini-DIN connector to a standard DIN
connector and to a PS/2 mouse connector.
2.6 Front Panel Connector (CN16)
Next, you may want to install external switches to monitor and control
the PCA-6154/6154L. These features are optional - install them only
if you need them. The front panel connector (CN16) is a 14-pin male,
dual in-line header and provides connections for a speaker, hard disk
access indicator, power on indicator, turbo indicator and an input
switch for resetting the card.

2.8 Serial Ports (CN11: COM1; CN10: COM2)
The PCA-6154/6154L 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 4.
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.

The PCA-6154/6154L features an
on-board VGA interface. This chapter
provides instructions for installing and
operating the software drivers on the
included display driver diskette.
Chapter 5 PCI SVGA Setup 41
5.1 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 enhanced display
drivers for the PCA-6154/6154L 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.

5.3 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.
5.3.1 Windows setup
These drivers are designed to work with Microsoft Windows 3.1. You
may install these drivers through Windows or in DOS.
Step 1: Install Windows as you normally would for a VGA display.
Run Windows to make sure that it is working correctly.
Step 2: Place the display driver diskette in drive A. In Windows
Program Manager, choose File from the Options Menu. Then from
the pull-down menu, choose Run . . . . At the command line prompt,

Chapter 5 PCI SVGA Setup 49
Installation Notes
1. During the installation of this driver, DISPLAY.LOG and
DSPINSTL.LOG files are created in the \OS2\INSTALL directory.
These files identify the OS/2 system files that were updated, and
indicate whether the installation was successful. The
DISPLAY.LOG file also contains a string that 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 Configuration 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 out. You may see a series
of flashes on the display and/or what appears to be a “corrupted”
display. This is normal, as the configuration process is performing
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-6154/6154L is equipped
with a watchdog timer that resets
the CPU or generates an interrupt
if processing comes to a standstill
for any reason. This feature
ensures system reliability in
industrial standalone or unmanned
environments.
A.1 Programming the Watchdog Timer
T o program the watchdog timer , you must write a program which
writes I/O port address 443 (hex). The output data is a value of time
interval. The value range is from 01 (hex) to 3F (hex), and the related
time interval is 1 sec. to 63 sec.
Data Time Interval
01 1 sec.
02 2 sec.
03 3 sec.
04 4 sec.
••
••
••
3F 63 sec.
52 PCA-6154/6154L User's Manual
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 443 (hex).
