Chapter 1 General Information

1.1 Introduction

The PCA-6005 Series all-in-one industrial grade single board computer is
a high performance and full-featured computing engine. It meets most of
the requirements of industrial applications.

The PCA-6005 supports Intel's Pentium 4 and Socket 478 Celeron pro­cessor. The CPU provides 256/512 KB on-CPU L2 cache, featuring
Intel's NetBurst. micro-architecture and is capable of delivering maxi­mum computing power. 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
two USB (Universal Serial Bus) ports. The PCI enhanced IDE controller
supports Ultra DMA/33/66/100 providing data transfer rates of 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 256-level watchdog
timer, which resets the CPU or if a program cannot be executed normally.
This enables reliable operation in unattended environments.

The PCA-6005 Series offers several impressive industrial features such as
chipset built-in VGA (AGP) interface, dual 10/100Base-T networking
controller, dual channel Ultra 160 SCSI, and two 184-pin DIMM slots for
a total of 2 GB DDR SDRAM memory. The remote management inter­face enables the PCA-6005 to be managed through Ethernet when it is
connected to the SNMP-1000 Remote HTTP/SNMP System Manager.

NOTE: 1. The PCA-6005 does not support ISA bus.

2. 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.

PCA-6005 User’s Manual 2

1.2 Features

1. Onboard hardware monitoring: System healthy status including
CPU fan, CPU temperature and system voltages levels are moni­tored to ensure stable operation. proper system configuration and
management. A remote monitoring interface is reserved for remote
management through Ethernet by using Advantech's SNMP-1000
system management module.

2. 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. Regardless of the setting, pushing the power
button for more than 4 seconds will enter the Soft-Off mode.

3. 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.

4. 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.

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, BIOS will check
the data and automatically restore the original data for rebooting.

1.6 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.

1.7 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.

1.7.1 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.

PCA-6005 User’s Manual 10

1.7.2 CMOS clear (J1)

The PCA-6005 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 System Memory

The PCA-6005 has two sockets for 184-pin dual inline memory modules
(DIMMs). All these sockets use 2.5 V unbuffered double data rate syn­chronous DRAMs (DDR SDRAM). are available in capacities of 128,
256, 512 and 1024 MB. The sockets can be filled in any combination with
DIMMs of any size, giving a total memory size between 128 MB and 2
GB. Use the following table to calculate the total DRAM memory within

your computer:

Table 1.6: DIMM module allocation table

Socket Number 184-pin DIMM memory

1 (128, 256, 512 or 1024 MB)
2 (128, 256, 512 or 1024 MB)

1.8.1 Supplementary information about DIMMs

Your PCA-6005 can accept DDR SDRAM memory chips without parity.
Also note:

• The PCA-6005 accpets PC-1600 (DDR200) or PC-2100 (DDR266)

DDR SDRAM, which can provide twice the performance than the PC­133 SDRAM. The 168-pin SDRAM cannot be used.

• The PCA-6005 does not support ECC (error checking and correction).

Memory modules with 9 SDRAM chips/side support ECC; modules
with 8 chips/side do not support ECC.

1.8.2 Memory clock setting

The S1 dip switch is used to set the memory clock speed. If you are using
200 MHz DDR module, set S1 to OFF. If you are using 266 MHz DDR
module, set S1 to ON. S0 must be set at ON all the time.

PCA-6005 User’s Manual 12

1.9 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.

1.10 Cache Memory

Since the second level (L2) cache has been embedded into the Intel®
Pentium 4/Celeron processor, you do not have to take care of either
SRAM chips or SRAM modules. The built-in second level cache in the
processor yields much higher performance than the external cache memo­ries. The cache size in the Intel® Pentium 4 processor is 256 KB or 512
KB, for Celeron® processor is 256 KB.

1.11 CPU Installation

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 over-

heat 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 478.

1. Make sure the socket 478 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.

13

1. 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.

Connecting
Peripherals

This chapter tells how to connect
peripherals, switches and indicators to
the PCA-6005 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.

CHAPTER

15

Chapter 2 Connecting Peripherals

2.1 Primary (CN1) and Secondary (CN2) IDE Connec­tors.

CN1

CN2

You can attach up to four IDE (Integrated Device Electronics) drives to
the IDE connectors. 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 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.

(after the twist in the cable) connects to the A: floppy drive. The one in
the middle connects to the B: floppy drive.

2.3 Parallel Port (CN4)

CN4

The parallel port is normally used to connect the CPU card to a printer.
The onboard parallel port can be 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.

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

17

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

27

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 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, press <Del> to allow you to
enter the setup.

Figure 3.1: Award BIOS Setup initial screen

3.3.1 CMOS RAM backup

The CMOS RAM is powered by an onboard button cell battery. When
BIOS CMOS Setup has been completed, CMOS RAM data is automati­cally backed up to Flash ROM. If conditions in a harsh industrial enviro­ment cause a soft error, BIOS will recheck the data and automatically
restore the original data for booting.

Note: If you intend to update CMOS RAM data, you

have to click on “DEL” within two seconds of the

“CMOS checksum error....” display screen mes-

sage 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

SCSI Setup and Con­figuration

The PCA-6005 features an onboard
SCSI interface. This chapter provides
basic SCSI concepts and instructions
for installing the software drivers with
the SCSI driver disks/CD included in
your package

71

Chapter 6 SCSI Setup and Configuration

6.1 Introduction

The PCA-6005 is equipped with an Adaptec AIC-7899 single-chip PCI­to-SCSI host adapter which provides a dual channel Ultra 160 multi­tasking interface between your computer.s PCI bus and SCSI devices
(disk drives, CD-ROM drives, scanners, tape backups, removable media
drives, etc.). Ultra 160 is a new generation of SCSI technology that
expands SCSI performance from 80 MBytes/sec to 160 MBytes/ sec. Up
to a total of 15 SCSI devices can be connected to each of the SCSI con­nectors.

The AIC-7899 combines this Ultra 160 SCSI technology with Adaptec.s
SpeedFlex. technology. SpeedFlex allows the Adaptec SCSI card to be
backwards compatible with previous generations of SCSI products, while
allowing newer Ultra 160 SCSI devices to operate at the higher 160
MBytes/sec rate.

There are 3 SCSI connectors on the CPU card: CN50 and CN51 for Ultra
160 devices, and CN52 for 50-pin SCSI devices. You can use Ultra 160
and Ultra wide devices simultaneously without compromising the perfor­mance.

If you need to configure the SCSI, the onboard SCSI Select configuration
utility allows you to change host adapter settings without opening the
computer or handling the board. The SCSI Select utility also contains a
utility to low-level format and verifies the disk media on your hard disk
drives.

Note: If any peripheral is running at SE mode, the

Ultra 160 SCSI segment will run at speeds up to
40 MBytes/sec only instead of 160 MBytes/sec.

6.2 Understanding SCSI

SCSI (pronounced .scuzzy.) stands for Small Computer Systems Inter­face. SCSI is an industry standard computer interface for connecting
SCSI devices to a common SCSI bus.

PCA-6005 User’s Manual 72

A SCSI bus is an electrical pathway that consists of a SCSI interface
installed in a computer and one or more SCSI devices. SCSI cables are
used to connect the devices to the SCSI interface. For the SCSI bus to
function properly, a unique SCSI ID must be assigned to the SCSI inter­face and each SCSI device connected to it, and the SCSI bus must be
properly terminated.

6.3 SCSI IDs

Each device attached to the SCSI bus, as well as the SCSI controller
itself, must be assigned a unique SCSI ID number from 0 to 15. A SCSI
ID uniquely identifies each SCSI device on the SCSI bus and determines
priority when two or more devices are trying to use the SCSI bus at the
same time.

Refer o the device.s documentation to set the SCSI ID. Here are some
general guidelines for SCSI IDs:

• For internal SCSI devices, the SCSI ID usually is set by configuring a

jumper on the device.

• For external SCSI devices, the SCSI ID usually is set with a swetch on

the back of the device.

• SCSI ID numbers don.t have to sequential, as long as the SCSI control-

ler and each device has a different number.

• For example, you can have an internal SCSI device with ID 0, and an

external SCSI device with ID 6.

• SCSI ID 7 has the highest priority on the SCSI bus. The priority of the

remianing IDs, in descending order, is 6 to 0, then 15 to 8.

• The on-boards SCSI interface is preset to SCSI ID 7 and should not be

changed. This gives it the highest priority on the SCSI bus.

• Most internal SCSI hard disk drives come from the factory pre-set to

SCSI ID 0.

• If you have 8-bit (or Narrow) SCSI deveices, they must use SCSI IDs 0,

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6. SCSI ID 0 is recommended for the first SCSI hard
disk drive.

• If you are booting your computer from a SCSI hards disk drive con-

nected to the SCSI bus, the Boot SCSI ID setting in the SCSISelect
utility must correspond to the SCSI ID of the device from which you
are booting. By default, the Boot SCSI ID is set to 0. We recommend
that you do not change this setting.

73

• In Windowsc 95/98, you can use the Device Manager to determine

which SCSI ID is assigned to each installed SCSI device.

6.4 Terminating the SCSI Bus

To ensure reliable communication on the SCSI bus, the ends of the SCSI
bus must be properly terminated. This is accomplished when the device at
the end of the each cable, or the end of the cable itself, has a terminator
installed (or enabled). Terminators must be removed, or termination must
be disabled, on devices between the ends of each cable.

Since the method for terminating a SCSI device can vary widely, refer to
the device.s documentation for instructions on how to enable or disable
termination. Here are some general guidelines for termination:

• Internal Ultra 160 and Ultra 2 SCSI devices come from the factory with

termination disabled and cannot be changed. Proper termination for
internal Ultra 160 and Ultra2 SCSI devices is provided by a 68-pin
Internal LVD (low voltage differential) SCSI cable, which has a built­in terminator at its end.

• Termination on non-Ultra 160 and Ultra2 internal SCSI devices usually

is controlled by manually setting a jumper or a switch on the device, or
by physically removing or installing one or more resistor modules on
the device.

• Termination on most external SCSI devices is controlled by installing

or removing a SCSI terminator. However, termination on some exter­nal SCSI devices is enable or disabled by setting a swetich on the back
of the SCSI device.

The last external Ultra160 or Ultra2 SCSI device must be terminated with
an LVD/SE (low voltage differential/single ended) terminator plug to
ensure that the device will operate at its maximum speed. If you use a dif­ferent kind of terminator plug, the data I/O rate will decrease.

By default, termination on the SCSI controller itself is set to Automatic
(the preferred method). We recommend that you do not change this
default setting.

6.5 Configuring the SCSI interface with SCSISelect

SCSISelect, included with the CPU card, enables you to change SCSI set­tings without opening the computer. SCSISelect also enables you to low-

SCSI Bus Interface Definitions

• Host Adapter SCSI ID-(Default: 7) Sets the SCSI ID for the SCSI

controller. The Adaptec SCSI controller AIC-7899 is set at 7, which
gives t the highest priority on the SCSI bus. We recommend that you
do not change this setting.

• SCSI Parity Checking-(Default: Enabled) When set to Enabled, veri-

fies the accuracy of data transfer on the SCSI bus. Leave this setting
enabled unless any SCSI device does not support SCSI parity.

• Host Adapter SCSI Termination-(Default: Automatic) Determines

the termination setting for the SCSI card. The default setting for both
the LVD/SE (low voltage differential/single ended) connectors and SE
connectors is Automatic, which allows the SCSI card to adjust the ter­mination as needed depending on the configuration of the connected
SCSI devices. We recommend that you do not change these settings.

Boot Device Options

• Boot SCSI ID-(Default: 0) Specifies the SCSI ID of your boot

device. We recommend that you dono t change the default setting.

• Boot LUN Number-(Default: 0) Specifies which LUN (Logical Unit

Number) to boot from on your boot device. This setting is not valid

must know it.s SCSI ID

• Sync Transfer Rate-(Default: 160) Determines the maximum syn-

chronous data transfer rate that the SCSI card supports. Use the mazi­mum value of 160 MBytes/sec.

• Initiate Wide Negotiation-(Default: Yes) When set to Yes, the SCSI

card attempts 16-bit data transfer (wide negotiation.) When set to No,
the SCSI card uses 8-bit data transfer unless the SCSI device requests
wide negotiation.

PCA-6005 User’s Manual 78

Note: Set Initiate Wide Negotiation to NO if you are

using an 8-bit SCSI device that hangs or exhib­its other performance problems with 16-bit data
transfer rate enabled.

• Enable Disconnection-(Default: Yes) When set to Yes, allows the

SCSI device to disconnect from the SCSI bus. Leave the setting at
Yes if two or more SCSI device is connected, changing the setting to
No results in slightly better performance.

• Send Start Unit Command-(Default: Yes) When set to Yes, the Start

Unit Command is sent to the SCSI device at bootup.

The following three options have no effect if the SCSI Card BIOS is dis­abled. (The SCSI Cards BIOS is normally enabled by default.)

• Enable Write Back Cache-(Default: N/C) Can be used to enable or

disable the write-back cache on SCSI disk drives connected to the host
adapter. Leave this option at its default setting of N/C (no change),
which usually allow for optimum drive performance.

• BIOS Multiple LUN Support-(Default: No) Leave this setting at No if

the device does not have multiple Logical Unit Numbers (LUNs.)
When set to Yes, the SCSI card BIOS provides boot support for a SCSI
device with multiple LUNs (for example, a CD juke box. device in
which mulitple CDs can be accessed simultaneously.)

• Include in BIOS Scan-(Default: Yes) When set to Yes, the SCSI card

BIOS includes the device as part of its BIOS scan at bootup.

Advanced Configuration Options

Enabled) When set to Enabled, the SCSI card BIOS displays the Press
<Ctrl> <A> for SCSISelect (TM) Utility! message on your screen dur­ing system bootup. If this setting disabled, you can still invoke the

79

SCSISelect Utility by pressing <Ctrl> <A> after the SCSI card BIOS
banner appears.

• Extended BIOS Translation for DOS Drives > 1 GByte-(Default:

Enabled) When set to Enabled, provides an extended translation
scheme for SCSI hard disks with capacities greater than 1 GByte.
This setting is necessary only for MS-DOS 5.0 or above; it is not
required for other operating systems, such as NetWare of UNIX.

Caution: Changing the translation scheme destroys all

data on the drive. Bue sure to back your disk
drives before changing the translation scheme.

Use the MS-DOS Fdisk command to partition a disk laster than 1GByte
controlled by the SCSI card BIOS, when using DOS, Windows 3.1.x, ro
Windows 95/98.

• Verbose/Silent Mode-(Default: Verbose) When set to Verbose, the

SCSI card BIOS displays the host adapter model on the screen during
sustem buildup. When set to Silent, the message is not displayed dur­ing bootup.

• Host Adapter BIOS (Configuration Utility Reserves BIOS Space)-

(Default: Enabled) Enables or disables the SCSI card BIOS.

• Leave at Enabled to allow the SCSI card BIOS to scan and initialize all

SCSI devices.

• Set to Disabled: Not scan if the devices on the SCSI bus (for example,

CD-ROM drives) are controlled by software drivers and do not need
the BIOS, and you do not want the BIOS to scan the SCSI bus.

• Set to Disabled: Scan Bus if you do not need the BIOS, but you want it

to scan the SCSI devices on the bus and you need to spin up the
devices.

The following four options have no effect when the SCSI Card BIOS is
disabled. (The SCSI Card BIOS is normally enabled by default.)

• Domain Validation.(Default: Enabled) Determines the optimal transfer

rate for each device on the SCSI bus and sets transfer rates accordingly.
Displays the resulting data transfer rate.

• Support Removable Disks Under BIOS as Fixed Disks. (Default:

Disabled) Determines which removable-media drives are supported by
the SCSI card BIOS. Choices are as follows:

PCA-6005 User’s Manual 80

• Disabled. No removable-media drives are treated as hard disk drives.

Software drivers are required because the drives are not controlled by
the BIOS.

• Boot Only.Only the removable-media drive designated as the boot

device is treated as a hard disk drive.

• All Disks.All removable-media drives supported by the BIOS are

treated as hard disk drives.

Caution: You may lose data if you remove a removable-

media cartridge from a SCSI drive controlled by
the SCSI card BIOS while the drive is on. If you
want to be able to remove the media while the
drive is on, install the removable-media soft­ware driver and set Support Removable Disks
Under BIOS as Fixed Disks to Disabled.

• BIOS Support for Bootable CD-ROMs.(Default: Enabled) When set

to Enabled, the SCSI card BIOS allows the computer to boot from a
CD-ROM drive.
