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 man­ual, 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.

Chapter 1 Hardware Configuration

1.1 Introduction

The PCE-5120 is designed with the Intel® 945G chipset and ICH7R (I/O
controller) to support Core™ 2 Duo, Dual-Core Pentium® D / Pentium®
4 / Celeron® D processors (refer to “Processor Support” on page vi) with
a 533/800/1066 MHz front side bus and DDR2 533/667 MHz memory up
to 4 GB. It follows the PICMG 1.3 specification and is the best solution
for high-performance computing and applications in which a wide I/O
bandwidth is demanded.

The PCE-5120 offers a high-performance cost-saving integrated graphics
unit, built into the Intel® 945G chipset, and features the unique Intel®
Extreme Graphics architecture to maximize VGA performance and share
system memory up to 224MB. Whenever higher graphics computing abil­ity is required, the PCE-5120 also provides a mainstream PCI Express x
16 Link to the PICMG 1.3 backplane to interface add-on graphic cards. In
addition, the PCE-5120 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 PCE-5120 the ideal platform for industrial networking
applications.

By using the Intel® ICH7R chipset, the PCE-5120 offers another four
PCI-Express x 1 Link to backplane which can be configured for support­ing variety expansion slots. With four on-board SATA2 interfaces (band­width = 300MB/sec), the PCE-5120 may support software RAID 0, 1, 5,
10 functions; eight USB 2.0 connections (four on board and four to back­plane). These powerful I/O capabilities ensure even more reliable data
storage capabilities and suitable for work with high-speed I/O peripher­als.

In addition, the PCE-5120 also provides most of the popular I/O inter­faces such as one ATA-100 EIDE ports, AC'97 audio interface, four RS­232 ports (COM2 port may be configured for supporting RS-232/422/485
through a pin header), one enhanced parallel port and floppy disk inter­face.

PCE-5120 User Manual 2

The PCE-5120 retains a legacy PCI 32-bit /33 MHz bus from the CPU
board to the Backplane. It does not require a PCI-Express to PCI bridge
chip to lower the system cost. It is good for the application and only needs
a few legacy PCI Buses.

The PCE-5120 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. A
remote management port allows users to monitor the system health status
and control the system remotely through standard SNMP/HTTP protocol
when used with Advantech's ACMM-1000 and SNMP-1000 Intelligent
System Manager.

The PCE-5120 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 PCE-5120 is
definitely the ideal platform for today's industrial applications.

1.8 Jumper Settings

This section provides instructions on how to configure your PCE-5120 by
setting the jumpers. It also includes the PCE-5120's default settings and
your options for each jumper.

1.8.1 How to set jumpers

You can configure your PCE-5120 to match the needs of your applica­tion 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 PCE-5120 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 PCE-5120 contains a watchdog timer that will reset the CPU in the
event the CPU stops processing. This feature means the PCE-5120 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 PCE-5120 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
and 1024 MB. The sockets can be filled in any combination with DIMMs
of any size, giving a total memory size between 256 MB and 4 GB.

1.9.1 CPU FSB and memory speed

The PCE-5120 can accept DDR2 SDRAM memory chips without parity.
Also note: The PCE-5120 accepts DDR2 400/533/667MHz SDRAM.
The PCE-5120 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
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 PCE-5120 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.

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 chassis, you may need to partially remove the card to make all
the connections.

2.2 IDE Connectors (IDE1)

JFP1
JFP2
JFP3

LPT1

You can attach up to two IDE (Integrated Drive Electronics) drives to the
PCE-5120'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.

PCE-5120 offers an alternative type II CF socket of IDE port. The CF
socket and IDE port can't work at the same time. It will cause the data
conflict.

a printer. The PCE-5120 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

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 4 Chipset Software Install Utility

4.1 Before you begin

To facilitate the installation of the enhanced display drivers and utility
software, read the instructions in this chapter carefully. The drivers for
the PCE-5120 are located on the software installation CD. The auto-run
function of the driver CD will guide and link you to the utilities and driv­ers under a Windows system. The Intel® Chipset Software Installation
Utility is not required on any systems running Windows NT 4.0. Updates
are provided via Service Packs from Microsoft*.

Note: The files on the software installation CD 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.

Note: The Auto-Run function only can run under the

32-bit Microsoft Windows OS. If it can’t run
under your system, please set up the driver
manually.

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 manual before performing the installation.

Chapter 8 SATA RAID Setup

8.1 Introduction

To support demanding disk I/O, Intel ICH7R chipset integrates four
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.

8.2 SATA RAID Driver and Utility Setup

Note: For the detail installation guide of SATA RAID

driver & utility please check the User Guide in

Appendix A Watchdog Timer

A.1 Programming the Watchdog Timer

The PCE-5120's watchdog timer can be used to monitor system software
operation and take corrective action if the software fails to function
within the programmed period. This section describes the operation of the
watchdog timer and how to program it.

A.1.1 Watchdog timer overview

The watchdog timer is built in to the super I/O controller W83627HF. It
provides the following functions for user programming:

• Can be enabled and disabled by user's program

• Timer can be set from 1 to 255 seconds or 1 to 255 minutes

• Generates an interrupt or resets signal if the software fails to reset the
timer before time-out

A.1.2 Jumper selection

The JWDT1 jumper is used to select reset in the event the watchdog timer
is tripped. See Chapter 1 for detailed jumper settings.

A.1.3 Programming the Watchdog Timer

The I/O port address of the watchdog timer is 2E(hex) and 2F(hex).
2E (hex) is the address port. 2F(hex) is the data port. You must first
assign the address of register by writing an address value into address
port 2E (hex), then write/read data to/from the assigned register through
data port 2F (hex).
