<A6pci8014

2. Overview

A6pci8014 is a Compact PCI board installed on the Intel Pentium M processor.

The chipset has the Intel 855GMCH as the memory control hub and the ICH4 as an I/O control hub, respectively.

Main memory is expandable up to a maximum of 2GB with a DDR-DIMM conforming to PC2700 (DDR333). It

supports ECC that can automatically correct single bit data errors, and offers high speed and high dependability.

Not only does the chipset support legacy devices through an RS232C serial port and parallel port, it also handles an

abundance of peripheral devices, including 2.5" HDD interfaces supporting the Ultra ATA/100, USB 2.0, gigabyte Ethernet,

Ultra 2 SCSI, and so on. Moreover, it is provided with a slot for a PMC (PCI Mezzanine Card), and can be expanded

with the add-on board of your choice. Also, with the exception of Ethernet and SCSI, peripheral interfaces can be

connected through the dedicated rear panel I/O port. The on-board ROM is provided with Phoenix BIOS, and can

support Windows and a wide variety of real time operating systems.

The A6pci8014 has the following features:

• Intel Pentium M processor 1.6 GHz + 855 GME chipsets

• Finless design without on-board cooling fan (external cooling needs to be provided to the rack)

• DDR-DIMM main memory supporting ECC (PC2700, maximum 2 GB, module is optional)

• USB 2.0 interface × 6

• 2.5" HDD interface supporting Ultra ATA/100

• E-IDE interface (× 2) supporting Ultra ATA/100

• 10/100/1000 Base-T Ethernet × 2

• UXGA (1600 × 1200) graphics interface

• Ultra2 SCSI interface supporting LVD

• RS232C serial port × 2

• Parallel port supporting PC/AT, PS/2, EPP, ECP

• PS/2 keyboard interface

• PS/2 mouse interface

• Floppy disk interface

• 33 MHz, 32 bit PMC slot

• Supports Compact PCI hot swap

• 6U, 2-slot width board size

• Has a dedicated rear panel I/O board Arpio0804 (6U, 2-slot width)

6.1.2 S-CN2 (connector for installing a 2.5" HDD)

This connector is for the installation of 2.5" HDD. Silk screened on the board as CN2.

An HDD is not included with this product.

An HDD that satisfies the specifications in Table 6.2 can be used with the A6pci8014.

The HDD should be handled according to the following procedures.

See Section 9.10 for information about the pin assignments for this connector.

HDD installation procedures

(1) First remove the PMC module when a PMC module is installed. See Additional Figure 1 for the PMC module

installation and removal method.

(2) Remove the A6pci8014 sub-board from the base board. See Additional Figure 2 for the sub-board installation

and removal method.

(3) Install an insulation sheet and the HDD on the sub-board and install the HDD using the screws provided. See

Additional Figure 3 for the HDD installation and removal method.

(4) Reinstall the sub-board onto the base board.

6.1.3 CN13 (battery holder)

This is a connector for installing the lithium battery used to backup real time clock time data and NVRAM

data (CMOS data) associated with the real time clock.

It can use a CR2430 battery, which is installed when the board is shipped.

The sub board must be removed when replacing the battery because the CN13 is on top of the base board under

the sub-board and. Use the following procedures to replace the battery.

The battery service life is approximately 6 years with the power turned off.

Battery replacement procedures

(1) First remove the PMC module when a PMC module is installed. See Additional Figure 1 for the PMC module

installation and removal method.

(2) Remove the A6pci8014 sub-board from the base board. The HDD doesn t need to be removed. See Additional

Figure 2 for the sub-board installation and removal method.

(3) Remove the battery from CN13.

(4) Install a new battery in CN13 with the + terminal facing up.

(5) Reinstall the sub-board onto the base board.

6.1.4 JP1 (jumper pin for setting connection destination of primary E-IDE)

The JP1 jumper pin sets the connection destination of primary either the rear panel Arpio0804 I/O board or

the on-board 2.5" (E-IDE to).

Short the jumper when using the on-board 2.5" HDD.

The jumper should be open when using the primary E-IDE with the Arpio0804.

The JP1 jumper can be set either way when a primary E-IDE is not used.

6.1.5 JP2 (jumper to clear CMOS)

The JP2 jumper pin is used to restore initial values for data backed up by the battery (to clear CMOS).

Normally, nothing needs to be done with the JP2 jumper.

Clear CMOS only when the BIOS setup screen fails to start due to a drained battery or misoperation.

Follow the following procedures to clear CMOS:

CMOS clearing procedures

(1) Either remove the A6pci8014 from the rack or turn the rack power OFF.

(2) Remove the short plug installed on JP3 and short JP2.

(3) Wait at least 1 second and replace the JP2 short plug to its original location on JP3.

6.1.6 JP3 (jumper pin for setting the watchdog timer)

The JP3 jumper pin is used to set operations when the watchdog timer times out.

The watchdog timer consists of on-board ICH4 TCO timer.

The TCO timer can be set to timeout times from 2.4 seconds to 37.8 seconds in increments of 0.6 seconds.

The timer times out and a System Management Interrupt (SMI) is generated to the CPU when timer reload

processing does not take place within the preset time when the TCO timer is enabled. If the JP3 jumper is

set to be open, a reset signal is generated and the entire system restarts when the TCO timer

times out once again after issuing an SMI. Further, a reset signal will not be generated if the JP3 jumper

is shorted. In this case, the system will remain in a hang up condition.

When using the watchdog timer, decide on your setting of JP3 based on whether or not you want the system

restart automatically after a timeout.

JP3 can be set either way when a watchdog timer is not used.

6.1.7 S-J1 ~ 2 (PMC connector)

This connector is used for the installation of the PMC module. J1 and J2 are silk screened on the board.

The PCI bus on the A6pci8014 board is directly connected to the PMC connector.

PMC modules that satisfy the specifications indicated in Table 6.3 can be used with the A6pci8014.

Follow the PMC module installation and removal procedures outlined in Additional Figure 1 when installing

the PMC module.
