Hardware Configuration
This chapter provides background
information on the PCA-6277. It will show
you how to configure the card to match
your application and prepare it for
installation into your PC..
Sections include:
• Introduction
• Features
• Specifications
• Board Layout
• Jumpers and Connectors
• Safety Precautions
• Jumper Settings
• System Memory
• Memory Installation Procedures
• Cache Memory
• CPU Installation
1.1 Introduction
The PCA-6277 Series all-in-one industrial grade dual CPU card uses
Intel's highly acclaimed Pentium® III processor, together with the VIA
Apollo Pro133A chipset. The card works with standard ISA or
PCI/ISA-bus passive backplanes.
The CPU provides 256 KB on-CPU L2 cache, eliminating the need
for external SRAM chips. It has two PCI EIDE interfaces (for up to
four devices) and a floppy disk drive interface (for up to two devices).
Other features include two RS-232 serial ports (16C550 UARTs with
16-byte FIFO or compatible), one enhanced parallel port (supports
EPP/ECP) and four USB (Universal Serial Bus) ports. The PCI enhanced IDE controller supports Ultra DMA 33/66/100 and PIO Mode 4
operation. This provides data transfer rates of up to 33/66/100 MB/sec.
System BIOS supports boot-up from an IDE CD-ROM, SCSI CD-ROM,
LS-120, IDE HDD, SCSI HDD, ZIP-100, LAN, and FDD.
A backup of CMOS data is stored in the Flash memory, which protects
data even after a battery failure. Also included is a 63-level watchdog
timer, which resets the CPU or generates an interrupt if a program
cannot be executed normally. This enables reliable operation in
unattended environments.
The PCA-6277 Series offers several impressive industrial features such
as a VGA (AGP) controller, an ultra 160 SCSI controller, dual 10/100
Base-T networking controller, four DIMM slots for a total of 2 GB
RAM memory, and an ISA High Drive. All these make it an ideal
choice for applications that require both high performance and full
functionality.
Note: Some of the features mentioned above are not
available with all models. For more information about
the specifications of a particular model, see Section
1.3 Specifications.
2 PCA-6277 User's Manual
1.2 Features
1. Fan status monitoring and alarm: To prevent system overheating
and damage, the CPU fan can be monitored for speed and failure.
The fan is set for its normal RPM range and alarm thresholds.
2. Temperature monitoring and alarm: To prevent system overheat-
ing and damage, the CPU card supports processor thermal sensing
and auto-protection.
3. Voltage monitoring and alarm: System voltage levels are moni-
tored to ensure stable current flows to critical components. Voltage
specifications will become even more critical for processors of the
future. Thus monitoring will become ever more necessary to ensure
proper system configuration and management.
4. ATX soft power switch: Through the BIOS, the power button can
be defined as the "Standby" (aka "Suspend" or "Sleep") button or
as the "Soft-Off" button (see Section 3.6.6 Soft-off by PWR-BTN).
Regardless of the setting, pushing the power button for more than
4 seconds will enter the Soft-Off mode.
5. Power-on by modem (requires modem): This allows a computer
to be turned on remotely through an internal or external modem.
Users can thus access information on their computers from
anywhere in the world.
6. Power-on by LAN: This allows you to remotely power up your
system through your network by sending a wake-up frame or
signal. With this feature, you can remotely upload/ download data
to/from systems during off-peak hours.
7. Message LED: Chassis LEDs now act as information providers.
The way a particular LED illuminates indicates the stage the
computer is in. A single glimpse provides useful information to the
user.

8. Jumper free mode: When enabled, this allows processor settings
and easy overclocking of frequency and Vcore voltages all through
the BIOS setup. Easy-to-use DIP switches instead of jumpers are
included in case you want to manually adjust the processor's
external frequency.
9. CMOS RAM backup: When BIOS CMOS setup has been complet-
ed, data in the CMOS RAM is automatically backed up to the Flash
ROM. This is particularly useful in industrial environments which
may cause soft errors. Upon such an error occurring, BIOS will
check the data, and automatically restore the original data for

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 CPU card. 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 in a static-dissipative surface or
static-shielded bag when they are not in the chassis.

1.8 Jumper Settings
This section provides instructions on how to configure your card by
setting jumpers. It also includes the card's default settings and your
options for each jumper.
1.8.1 How to set jumpers
You configure your card to match the needs of your application by
setting 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.
16 PCA-6277 User's Manual
1.8.2 CMOS clear (J1)
1
The PCA-6277 CPU card 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 setting.

1.8.3 Watchdog timer output (J2)
The PCA-6277 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-6277 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.

1.9 System Memory
The top-left edge of the PCA-6277 contains four sockets for 168-pin
dual inline memory modules (DIMMs). All three sockets use 3.3 V
unbuffered synchronous DRAMs (SDRAM). DIMMs are available in
capacities of 16, 32, 64, 128, 256 or 512 MB. The sockets can be
filled in any combination with DIMMs of any size, giving your PCA6277 single board computer between 16 MB and 2 GB of memory.
Use the following table to calculate the total DRAM memory within
your computer:
Table 1-5: DIMM module allocation table
Socket number 168-pin DIMM memory
1 (16, 32, 64, 128, 256 or 512 MB) x 1
2 (16, 32, 64, 128, 256 or 512 MB) x 1
3 (16, 32, 64, 128, 256 or 512 MB) x 1
4 (16, 32, 64, 128, 256 or 512 MB) x 1
1.9.1 Sample calculation: DIMM memory capacity
Suppose you install a 128 MB DIMM into your PCA-6277's socket 1
and a 32 MB DIMM into sockets 2 and 3 and 4. Your total system
memory is 224 MB, calculated as follows:
Table 1-6: DIMM memory capacity sample calculation
Socket number 168-pin DIMM memory Total memory
1 128 MB x 1 128 MB
2 32 MB x 1 32 MB
3 32 MB x 1 32 MB
4 32 MB x 1 32 MB
Total memory 224 MB
18 PCA-6277 User's Manual
1.9.2 Supplementary information about DIMMs
Your PCA-6277 can accept SDRAM memory chips (with or without
parity). Also note:
• If the PCA-6277 operates at 133/100 MHz, only use PC-133/ PC-
100 compliant DIMMs. Most systems will not even boot if noncompliant modules are used. This is due to strict timing issues
involved at this speed.
• SDRAM chips are usually thinner and have higher pin density than
EDO chips.
• Modules with 9 chips/side support ECC; modules with 8 chips/side
do not support ECC.
• Single-sided modules are typically 16, 32, 64 or 128 MB; double-
sided modules are usually 32, 64, 128, or 256 MB.
• PCA-6277 does not support register memory
Chapter 1 Hardware Configuration

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 Cache Memory
Since the second level (L2) cache has been embedded into the Intel
Pentium® III processor, you do not have to take care of either SRAM
chips or SRAM modules. The built-in second level cache in the
Pentium® III processor yields much higher performance than the
external cache memories. The cache size in the Intel® Pentium® III
processor is 256 KB.

20 PCA-6277 User's Manual
1.12 CPU Installation
The PCA-6277 provides a dual socket 370 for an Intel® Pentium® III
processor. 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 overheat
and cause damage to both the CPU and the motherboard.
To install a CPU, first turn off your system and remove its cover.
Locate the processor socket 370.
1. Make sure the socket 370 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: To remove a CPU, pull the lever out to the side a
little and raise it as far as it will go. Lift out the
CPU.
Chapter 1 Hardware Configuration

1.13 Dual Processor Systems
The dual processor function of the PCA-6277 is a special design for
Socket 370 CPUs. The PCA-6277 supports Intel® SMP (Symmetric
Multiple Processor) specifications. It is equipped with two PGA 370
sockets with which you can install two Socket 370 processors. Of
course, if desired, only one Socket 370 processor need be installed.
A single Socket 370 processor can be installed in PGA 370 socket
CPU-1 (default setting).
To install two Socket 370 processors, we strongly recommend you
uses the same speed CPUs. Otherwise, your system may not operate
properly.
For best performance, you should use an OS (operating system) that
supports multi-processors. The following OS can support
multi-processor functions: Microsoft Windows NT (3.5x, 4.x and
5.x), Windows 2000® server, Windows® Advanced server, SCO UNIX,
FreeBSD 3.0 or later, and Linux. This list is not necessarily exhaustive. Check with your OS vendor for more information.
You can also use Microsoft Windows 3.1, 95 or 98. However, these
do not support SMP specifications. Therefore, using two processors
will yield the same result as using a single processor.
Note: The PCA-6277 cannot manage the SMP function by
itself. Therefore, if you use an incorrect CPU or OS
which causes the SMP function to fail, you are
likely to suffer damage to your hardware and/or
software. Advantech cannot take any responsibility
for damage in such circumstances.

Connecting Peripherals
This chapter tells how to connect
peripherals, switches, and indicators to
the PCA-6277 board.
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 chasis, you may need to partially remove
the card to make all the connections.
Note: If your chassis has only one empty expansion slot
to accommodate the CPU card, you can replace the
standard dual-slot bracket with the single-slot
bracket included in your PCA-6277 package, in
which case you will have to access the connectors
(CN31~34) on the extension I/O board from inside
the chassis.
2.2 Primary (CN1) and Secondary (CN2) IDE
Connectors
CN1
CN2
You can attach up to four IDE (Integrated Drive Electronics) drives to
the PCA-6277’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 CPU card. 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.
Note: The PCA-6277 supports the Ultra ATA/100 interface
and requires special IDE cables as well as a
software driver to enable this function.

1526
The parallel port is normally used to connect the CPU card to a
printer. The PCA-6277 includes an onboard parallel port, accessed
through a 26-pin 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.
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.

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.
3.2 Entering Setup
Turn on the computer and check for the “patch code”. If there is a
number assigned to the patch code, it means that the BIOS supports
your CPU.
If there is no number assigned to the patch code, please contact
Advantech’s applications engineer to obtain an up-to-date patch code
file. This will ensure that your CPU’s system status is valid.
After ensuring that you have a number assigned to the patch code,
