1.4Safety 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.

1.5Jumper settings
1.5.1 Introduction
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, connect the pins with the cap. To "open" a jumper, 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.

Closed 2-3OpenClosed
You 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.
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.

1.5.6 Watchdog timer configuration (JP4)
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:

1.6Installing system memory (SODIMMs)
You can install anywhere from 8 to 256 MB of SDRAM into your
PCA-6751 Series card. The card provides two 144-pin SODIMM
sockets. Each socket accepts 8, 16, 32, 64 or 128 MB 3.3 V power
level SODIMMs. If only one SODIMM module is installed, it may be
installed in either SODIMM socket on the solder side of the
PCA-6751 Series card.
Note:PCA-6751 Series cards only support SDRAM
SODIMM modules. EDO SODIMM is not supported.
1.6.1 Installing SODIMMs
Note:The modules can only fit into a socket one way.
Their gold pins must point down into the SODIMM
socket.
The procedure for installing SODIMMs appears below. Please follow
these steps carefully.
1. Make sure that all power supplies to the system are switched off.
2. Install the SODIMM card. Install the SODIMM so that its gold
pins point down into the SODIMM socket.
3. Slip the SODIMM into the socket at a 45 degree angle and
carefully fit the bottom of the card against the connectors.
4. Gently push the SODIMM into a perpendicular position until the
clips on the ends of the SODIMM sockets snap into place.
5. Check to ensure that the SODIMM is correctly seated and all
connector contacts touch. The SODIMM should not move around in
its socket.
Chapter 1 Hardware Configuration13
Important: Only use standard form SODIMM memory modules
(as shown in the diagram below). Standardized
dimensions ensure a proper fit. Check with your
memory supplier about the SODIMM modules you
will use.

Connecting
Peripherals
This chapter tells how to connect
peripherals, switches and indicators to the
PCA-6751 Series 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 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.
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.
2.3FDD connector (CN1)
You can attach up to two floppy disk drives to the PCA-6751 Series’
onboard 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 34-pin flat-cable connector (usually used for 3.5" drives) and a
printed-circuit-board connector (usually used for 5.25" drives). You
can use only one connector in each set. The set on the end (after the

4.1Introduction
The PCA-6751 Series has an onboard PCI flat panel/VGA interface.
The specifications and features are described as follows:
4.1.1 Chipset
The PCA-6751 Series uses a C&T 69000/69030 chipset for its
PCI/SVGA controller. It supports many popular LCD, EL, and gas
plasma flat panel displays and conventional analog CRT monitors.
The 6900/69030 VGA BIOS supports monochrome LCD, EL, color
TFT and STN LCD flat panel displays. In addition, it also supports
interlaced and non-interlaced analog monitors (color and monochrome VGA) 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 handled as if they were analog monitors.
4.1.2 Display memory
With on-board 2 MB display memory, the VGA controller can drive
CRT displays or color panel displays with resolutions up to 1024 x
768 at 64 K colors. The display memory can be expanded to 4 MB for
true-color resolution of 1024 x 768 with C&T 69030.
4.1.3 Display types
CRT and panel displays can be used simultaneously. The PCA-6751
Series 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. The utility disks includes three *.COM
files in the subdirectory Utility\vga\ which can be used to
configure the display. In order to use these configuration programs,
type the file name and path at the DOS prompt.
CT.COM: Enables CRT display only
FP.COM: Enables panel display only
SM.COM: Enables both displays simultaneously

Programming the
Watchdog Timer
The PCA-6751 Series 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.1Programming the watchdog timer
To 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 3E (hex), and the related
time interval is 1 sec. to 62 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 443 (hex).
The following example shows how you might program the watchdog
