PCA-6359 Series User's Manual

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 Pen-

tium

®

Tillamook MMX 266 MHz CPU. The CPU provides high

performance with low power consumption and better thermal manage-

ment.

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.

Chapter 1 Hardware Configuration

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 PWR-

BTN). 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.

4

PCA-6359 Series User's Manual

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 environ-

ments 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 dissipa-

tive mat when you are working with it. Wear a grounding wrist

strap for continuous protection.

Chapter 1 Hardware Configuration

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 operat-

ing 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

3.

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.

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:
