Product warranty

Advantech warrants to you, the original purchaser, that each of its prod­ucts will be free from defects in materials and workmanship for two years
from the date of purchase.

This warranty does not apply to any products which have been repaired or
altered by persons other than repair personnel authorized by Advantech,
or which have been subject to misuse, abuse, accident or improper instal­lation. Advantech assumes no liability under the terms of this warranty as
a consequence of such events.

If an Advantech product is defective, it will be repaired or replaced at no
charge during the warranty period. For out-of-warranty repairs, you will
be billed according to the cost of replacement materials, service time and
freight. Please consult your dealer for more details.

If you think you have a defective product, follow these steps:

1. Collect all the information about the problem encountered. (For

example, type of PC, CPU speed, Advantech products used, other
hardware and software used, etc.) Note anything abnormal and list
any on-screen messages you get when the problem occurs.

2. Call your dealer and describe the problem. Please have your man-

ual, product, and any helpful information readily available.

3. If your product is diagnosed as defective, obtain an RMA (return

material authorization) number from your dealer. This allows us to
process your return more quickly.

4. Carefully pack the defective product, a fully-completed Repair and

Replacement Order Card and a photocopy proof of purchase date
(such as your sales receipt) in a shippable container. A product
returned without proof of the purchase date is not eligible for war­ranty service.

5. Write the RMA number visibly on the outside of the package and

ship it prepaid to your dealer.

Chapter 1 Hardware Configuration

1.1 Introduction

The PCA-6194 is designed with the Intel® Q965 chipset and ICH8DO (I/
O controller) to support Core™ 2 Duo, Dual-Core Pentium® D / Pen­tium® 4 / Celeron® D processors with a 533/800/1066 MHz front side
bus and DDR2 533/667/800 MHz memory up to 8 GB. It follows the
PICMG 1.0 specification and is the best solution for high-performance
computing and applications in which a wide I/O bandwidth is demanded.

The PCA-6194 supports IPMI 2.0 for enhanced system management.
With this feature users may manage and monitor the system health status
remotely. Another remote management port allows users to monitor the
system health status and control the system remotely through standard
SNMP/HTTP protocols when used with Advantech’s ACMM-1000 and
SNMP-1000 Intelligent System Manager modules.

The PCA-6194 offers a high-performance cost-saving integrated graphics
unit, built into the Intel® Q965 chipset, and features the unique Intel®
Extreme Graphics architecture to maximize VGA performance and share
up to 256 MB of system memory. In addition, the PCA-6194 has a single/
dual Gigabit Ethernet LAN via dedicated PCI Express x 1 bus, which
offers bandwidths up to 500 MB/sec., eliminating the network data flow
bottlenecks, and incorporating Gigabit Ethernet to operate at 1000 Mbps.
High reliability and outstanding performance make the PCA-6194 the
ideal platform for industrial networking applications.

By using the Intel® ICH8DO chipset, the PCA-6194 offers six on-board
SATA2 interfaces (bandwidth = 300 MB/sec) with software RAID 0, 1,
5, 10 functions; and six USB 2.0 connections. These powerful I/O capa­bilities ensure even more reliable data storage capabilities and suitable for
work with high-speed I/O peripherals.

The ICH8DO provides a new high definition audio interface. Combined
with Advantech's PCA-AUDIO-HDA1E module, the PCA-6194 offers
excellent audio functions for the industrial environment.

The PCA-6194 is designed with considerations for extended reliability,
and is built especially to suit demanding industrial environments. The
CMOS data backup and restore function protects the BIOS setup data
from loss due to battery failure. A 256-level watchdog timer prevents the
system from hanging up if a program cannot be executed normally.

PCA-6194 User Manual 2

The PCA-6194 also adopts Advantech's unique patented “Sleep Mode
Control Circuit” for AT Power Mode. With this thoughtful design, users
need NOT clear the CMOS after the system enters S3 mode. With all
these excellent features and outstanding performance, the PCA-6194 is
definitely the ideal platform for today's industrial applications.

1.8 Jumper Settings

This section provides instructions on how to configure your PCA-6194
by setting the jumpers. It also includes the PCA-6194's default settings
and your options for each jumper.

1.8.1 How to set jumpers

You can configure your PCA-6194 to match the needs of your applica-
tion 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 (CMOS1)

The PCA-6194 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.

1.8.3 Watchdog timer output (JWDT1)

The PCA-6194 contains a watchdog timer that will reset the CPU in the
event the CPU stops processing. This feature means the PCA-6194 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.

1.9 System Memory

The PCA-6194 has four sockets for 240-pin dual inline memory modules
(DIMMs) in two memory channels.

All these sockets use 1.8 V unbuffered double data rate synchronous
DRAMs (DDR SDRAM). They are available in capacities of 256, 512,
1024 and 2048 MB. The sockets can be filled in any combination with
DIMMs of any size, giving a total memory size between 256 MB and 8
GB.

1.9.1 CPU FSB and memory speed

The PCA-6194 can accept DDR2 SDRAM memory chips without parity.
Also note: The PCA-6194 accepts DDR2 533/667/800 MHz SDRAM.
The PCA-6194 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

13 Chapter 1

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

The CPU that PCA-6194 supports built-in 4 MB (for Core™ 2 Duo), 2 x
1024KB/2 x 2048KB cache memory (for Pentium D CPU), and 1024KB/
2048KB (for Pentium 4 CPU), and 256KB/512 KB (For Celeron D CPU)
full-speed L2 cache. The built-in second-level cache in the processor
yields much higher performance than conventional external cache memo­ries.

PCA-6194 User Manual 14

1.12 Processor Installation

You can attach up to two IDE (Integrated Drive Electronics) drives to the
PCA-6194'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 parallel port is normally used to connect the single board computer to
a printer. The PCA-6194 includes an onboard parallel port, accessed
through a 26-pin flat-cable connector, LPT1. 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.

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 LPT1 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 LPT1. Pin 1 is on the upper right side
of LPT1.

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-up 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 environments
causes 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
battery in your system.

Chapter 8 SATA RAID Setup

8.1 Introduction

To support demanding disk I/O, Intel ICH8DO chipset integrates six
Serial ATA controllers with software RAID 0, 1, 5, 10 capabilities.

RAID 0 stripping increases the storage performance and is designed to
speed up data transfer rates for disk-intensive applications.

RAID 1 mirroring protects valuable data that might be lost in the event of
a hard drive failure.

RAID 5 array contains three or more hard drives where the data is divided
into manageable blocks called strips. Parity is a mathematical method for
recreating data that was lost from a single drive, which increases fault-tol­erance. The data and parity are striped across all the hard drives in the
array. The parity is striped in a rotating sequence to reduce bottlenecks
associated with the parity calculations.

RAID 10 array uses four hard drives to create a combination of RAID
levels 0 and 1. The data is striped across a two-drive array forming the
RAID 0 component. Each of the drives in the RAID 0 array is then mir­rored by a RAID 1 component.
