CHAPTER

Hardware Configuration

This chapter gives background information on the PCA-6359 Series. It then shows you how to configure the card to match your application and prepare it for installation into your PC.

Sections include:

• Introduction

• Specifications

• Board layout

• Safety precautions

• Jumper settings

• System memory

• Memory installation procedures

1.1 Introduction

The PCA-6359 Series is a full-size CPU card designed with an on-board Intel® Pentium® MMX CPU. Featuring powerful onboard functions such as VGA, LCD, LAN, SCSI and SSD, the versatile PCA-6359 Series can meet the needs of a great many different applications.

Embedded Pentium® MMX CPU

The PCA-6359 Series is equipped with Intel's new embedded Pentium® Tillamook MMX 266 MHz CPU. The CPU provides high performance with low power consumption and better thermal management.

Guaranteed long product supply time

In addition to the CPU, all the major components of the PCA-6359 Series are Intel® EMD solutions. These include the 430 TX system chipset, C&T 69000 VGA/LCD controller, and 82559ER 10/100Base-T Ethernet. Unlike regular commercial solutions, Intel EMD solutions provide higher system stability and longer product supply time (Intel EMD products' typical life cycle is 5 years). This guarantee is particularly important for end systems that will last for years.

PCA-6359 Series User's Manual

1.2 Features

1. 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 3.6.8 Soft-off by PWRBTN). Regardless of the setting, pushing the power button for more than 4 seconds will enter the Soft-Off mode.

2. Wake-on-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!

3. 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.

4. 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.

Chapter 1 Hardware Configuration

5. CMOS RAM backup: When BIOS CMOS setup has been

completed, 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 booting.

6. More!:

• Additional metal bracket for CPU stabilization

• Power On by Alarm: Powers up your computer at a certain

time

• Standard IR supports optional remote control package for wireless interfacing with external peripherals, personal gadgets, or an optional remote controller

• Virus warning: During and after system boot-up, any attempt to write to the boot sector or partition table of the hard disk drive will halt the system. In this case, a warning message will be displayed. You can then run your anti-virus program to locate the problem

1.5 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. Do not 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.

PCA-6359 Series User's Manual

1.6 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 a metal bridge that closes an electrical circuit. 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. To "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

1.6.1 Clear CMOS (J1)

Warning: To avoid damaging the computer, always turn off the

power supply before setting "Clear CMOS". Set the jumper back to normal before turning on the power supply.

To clear the RTC data:

1. Turn off the computer and unplug the AC power.

2. Short the 2-3 pins.

3. Hold down <Delete> during boot-up and enter the BIOS setup to re-enter your preferences.

1.6.2 Watchdog output (J2)

An onboard 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.)

When the watchdog timer is enabled and the CPU shuts down, the watchdog timer will automatically either reset the system or generate an interrupt on IRQ 11, depending on the setting of jumper JP4, as shown below:

1.7 System Memory

The top-left edge of the PCA-6359 Series contains three 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, or 128 MB. The sockets can be filled in any combination with DIMMs of any size, giving your PCA-6359 Series single board computer between 16 MB and 256 MB 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, or 128 MB) x 1 2 (16, 32, 64, or 128 MB) x 1

1.7.1 Sample calculation: DIMM memory capacity

Suppose you install a 128 MB DIMM into your PCA-6359 Series' socket 1 and a 32 MB DIMM into socket 2. Your total system memory is 160 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

Total memory 160 MB

PCA-6359 Series User's Manual

1.7.2 Supplementary information about DIMMs

Your PCA-6359 Series can accept SDRAM memory chips (with or without parity). Also note:

• 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 or 64 MB; double-sided modules are usually 32, 64, or 128 MB.

1.8 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.

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 B.

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.

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.

PCA-6359 Series User's Manual

2.2 Primary (CN1) and Secondary (CN2) IDE Connectors

You can attach up to four IDE (Integrated Device Electronics) drives to the PCA-6359 Series' internal 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 of this manual 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 one 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.
